The Plaka Hotel is a real find. It is ideally situated at the foot of the Acropolis and is amongst ,or within easy walking distance, of many of Athens attractions. It is on the corner of a small side street just a hundred yards or so from the metro station that is at the end of the line from the airport. Some bedrooms do have a direct view to the Acropolis.
The hotel staff are friendly and helpful and the accomodation is generally clean and modern. Our room was quite small but not so much that it was a problem. There was an adequate amount of storage space. The bathroom was small and a bit dated but ok, considering the price! We paid £33 a night for a double room with breakfast and thought this was a real bargain. Make sure you compare sites for prices as they vary considerably.
The breakfast was quite basic but included ...
Advantages: Close to airport,right on the beach Disadvantages: not exactly 5* and the food was a big the same every night
I was booking a holiday for myself and 3 three friends for the end of our A levels. I searched on every website imaginable when finally I came across a week in Kos at the Achilleas Beach Hotel. It was £250 per person All Inclusive. Of course my friends were all very excited about going to a 3* All Inclusive hotel. So I booked it.
On the website it said that it was a group of bungalows set in idillic gardens. Sounded very nice.
Upon arrival to Kos we found a taxi straight away and it took the 4 of us to our hotel. It was about a 15minute ride and cost about 16 Euros, which was a lot cheaper than the coach return we were offered by the tour operator for 15 Euros a head.
The hotel seemed a bit secluded but it was dark and we couldn't really see anything.
We entered the lobby, which was very big and nicely decorated, with sofas ...
Advantages: fun, charming and diverting city with plenty of interesting things to see and do; great variety of bars and restaurants Disadvantages: has some shonky areas, may bring you to spend more than you'd like
since been challenged. Why you would want to, I don't know, but it would make for an interesting mediation and negotiation session.
As far as accommodation goes, there is an enormous Holiday Inn in the centre of town - if you can't find a room here, you're struggling. But even if they are full, for whatever reason, there are still a few variously scary motels and hotels scattered around. Being a city where the focus is on living rather than touring, the selection may be limited, but it's not a resort town, so if you're after five-star luxury, you're better off somewhere a bit fancier and less student-oriented. The Holiday Inn we stayed at was perfectly adequate - comfortable, reasonable-sized rooms, without being ornate. It's pretty much the standard motel room you'd find anywhere. Not terrific, but not bad either.

Fully renovated in 2001, this economically priced family-run hotel offers surprising standards for its class. It is well served by public transport with airport bus stops nearby.
