Fantastic Plaka Find!

central location acropolis view rooftop terrace helpful staff
I really appreciated the central location. Everything was so accessible! I walked everywhere with no issues. My double room balcony had an awesome view of the Acropolis. The rooftop terrace is a bonus. I sat up there every evening. I also found the reception staff very helpful during check-in.
The soundproofing wasn't amazing, and I could sometimes hear noise from the corridors at night. It was a little bothersome.
