In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Unbeatable Plaka location — Right in the heart of Plaka, within a 6-minute walk of the Arch of Hadrian and about 10 minutes from the Acropolis and Syntagma metro. Most major sights are reachable on foot.
- Friendly, helpful staff — Guests highlight the polite, attentive and knowledgeable front desk team, available around the clock.
- Honest value for money — For a two-star hotel in a prime central spot, the rates are reasonable, and rooms come with air conditioning, heating and flat-screen TVs.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Basic facilities — Don't expect extras – the lift is small, there's no pool or fitness centre, and the facilities rating sits at 7.2. Rooms are modest, not luxurious.
- Breakfast is simple — While guests enjoy the local olives and the overall meal, breakfast is described as 'simple' – not a lavish spread.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place – the policy is strictly no pets.
