Plaka Hotel Review
Located nearly 5 minutes on foot from Monastiraki, the pleasant 3-star Plaka Hotel Athens provides guests with guided tour service for a better travel experience. Boasting a location within easy reach of the Roman ruins "Hadrian's Library", the smoke-free hotel features 67 rooms as well as a shop and a lobby area.
From 07:00 to 10:00 a buffet breakfast is served in the Plaka Athens. The lounge bar provides you with a place to unwind. Guests can enjoy splendid views from this bar. The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from Efcharis serving Greek dishes.
The family property in Plaka with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes and local ceramics, is set nearly a 15-minute walk from Parthenon Ruins and less than 6 minutes' walk from such shopping venues as Ermou Street-Shopping Area. Sports fans will also enjoy visiting the ancient-turned-modern Panathenaic Stadium, 10 minutes by car from this Athens hotel.
Visit Pond with turtles, 1 km from the pleasant accommodation, and feel complete harmony with the nature of Greece. Plaka Hotel stands within minutes of the ornate 1862 Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, popular with pilgrims and tourists alike.
Furnished with soundproof windows, all rooms are equipped with free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels along with a mini-fridge-bar and a coffeemaker. Guests can use a bathtub and a walk-in shower together with hair dryers and complimentary toiletries. These comfortable units also feature views of the city.
The property is located in the very heart of Athens near an underground station.
The property also offers cots and a push cart.
