Advantages: Great location, spacious rooms, great food - I can go on and on!! Disadvantages: Little bit noisy due to traffic outside at night
of a leather clad dude with a guitar called Beppe! Beware of the human statues, they tend to jump out on you! In the same area are loads of shops, from those housing cheap souvenirs, to designer boutiques. Five minutes along the promendade in the opposite direction will take you to the fishing harbour which is home to The Pirate pub, an all english heaven if you want a taste of home away from home! The Acropolis has a newsagents just across the road, and is 15 mins away from the local supermarket. The weekend markets are also just 5 mins down the road. There is also a small train which can take you on little trips to the aquarium and other tourist spots, and this runs from a stop just along the road from the hotel.
So is there any bad points? No not really! Apart from the night time noise. The Italians love their scooters, and because it turned ...
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!

The breakfast was quite basic but included ...
Advantages: Posh hotel, it looks nice, but... Disadvantages: The staff
I went to stay here in 2006, I think. For my sisters wedding. It was a nice hotel, the architecture inside I knew wasn't real, but it was meant to look posh. Which it did, but only in one room... the reception. So, I stayed here for two days and one night. I didn't sleep on a proper bed, because the room was full in which I was sleeping in (Since its a wedding and all). So in the corner of the room, I had to sleep on a horrible, tiny, lumpy bed. Which can be folded again into a bag. Of course, I can't blame the hotel for the poor bed, because this was my own fault. I'm sure that if there weren't so many people I could of slept on the double bed, which is better.
So, in the early days, considering to be the 1800's - Alton HouseHotel used to be a house. Not a hotel. Rich people used to live in this house. It was only in the 1940's that ...
