My 12 year old daughter and I booked for 2 nights at the Hotel Phaedra, and loved it. It is a simple hotel, and our first room was not to be chosen if you wanted to swing any of the many cats which roam Athens. However, the lack of space was more than compensated for by our view of the... More

The hotel is close to all main attractions of the city of Athens, close to the metro station of Acropolis about 5 minutes, good value money-service, kind and always friendly the staff, very safe area, close to many souvenir shop, restaurantes and cafes! Totally recommended! Ask for a room with a view to Acropolis! Enjoy

... this hotel is rated "Normal". Just few blocks from Acropolis, the Museum & many other temples and old sites. The quarter is lively, but surely you can find best places in Plaka for the same money. Our room has not a good mattress, but fortunately has air conditioning. We think it should be refurbished. They charged breakfast appart, but... More

i expected to find a small room in a cute little family run hotel, which is what i got. the people at the reception desk tried to help us as much as they could. we didn't get breakfast there, because i am gluten free and breakfast is just bread products and cheese. the only problem is that there was some...

This is a small hotel very close to the new Acropolis Museum, and mid-way between the Acropolis and the Temple of Zeus. I have stayed in Athens before but never in such a super location for sightseeing. It's walking distance from everything - which was good for me as the public transport system was on strike. The hotel is very... More

The location in the Plaka is great and I loved having a view of the Acropolis from my room. The staff though was varied, and about half of them were foul-tempered elderly women. I thought they were mean because my Greek is poor, but I had a Greek friend come over and the receptionist made her sit with her daughter... More

My boyfriend and I were traveling through Greece, and absolutely loved the Hotel Phaedra. The people at the front desk were always friendly and helpful (even when we couldn't quite understand each other). The rooms are simple, but have wonderful views of the Acropolis (make sure to request them!). I felt very safe here, and the rooftop is a lovely... More

We stayed in the Phaedra on our wedding trip in 1988 and decided to come back because it is truly the perfect place to stay in Athens. The windows of the rooms open to see the Acropolis right above you. The rooms are small and have everything a couple would need to see the ancient capital. The staff are always... More

Stayed 4 nights in 12/2012. Great view of acropolis from balcony. Excellent location in Plaka with easy access to airport as Acropolis Metro Station in a 5-minute walk away. Rooms were simple, spacious and clean. Has daily room service, 24-hour reception and elevator. Computer with internet in lobby free to hotel guests. Would definitely stay here again.
