Top Books’ Arcade Hotel Reviews

Plaka Hotel

8/10 Good

"Pros: Great location for tours! We could walk to every meeting point. Hotel Platka was always prompt before trip to answer email questions. Rooftop bar view of Acropolis was amazing at night! Wait staff was great in both the bar area and breakfast (great variety) area. Cons: The room size was fine BUT the bathroom had no plug outlets. You had to go to bedroom area & open up wardrobe to get partial mirrors & outlet by wall made it hard to stretch hairdryer. The main issue is tub had a very high wall making it very difficult to step in as no grab rail. It is also very narrow making a bath difficult to get in & out safely. If stayed again would see if just a shower is offered."

The Stanley

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at The Stanley Hotel exceeded all expectations! The rooms were exceptionally clean, modern, and comfortable from the moment we walked in. The staff went above and beyond by allowing us to check in early, which made our arrival so smooth. Having complimentary airport pickup included was an incredible convenience.The morning started off right with a wonderful breakfast selection. Plus, its prime location—just a 10-minute train ride to all the main attractions—made getting around effortless."

Athens Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love the view from the 8th floor restaurant! Great location to visit the acropolis"

Athens Tiare by Mage Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the location very convenient to go out any direction. You can walk around or take a train, taxi, hop on hop off , public transit. I suggest maybe pay attention to your lobby area needs some cleaning at the storage area update the furniture. Overall place is very clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. First day bothered me the most too much Graffiti in the city but after few days I got used to it."

ERMASS Athens

8/10 Good

"The property itself is kept in a very good condition and the rooms are clean and spacious. Views from the rooftop seating area are nice. I went in a moderately mild time of year and the air conditioning worked but was a little noisy at time, and you do hear a bit of noise in the rooms from the surrounding ones. Safe was definitely on the smaller side and would not fit a laptop. As others have mentioned the only real negative is the location. Its definitely not a nice place to have to walk through after dark, especially on the side streets, but once you get your bearings it is only a minutes walk from a main street and around 3-5 minutes to a metro station."

Electra Rhythm Athens

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and amazing staff!"

Athens Tower

8/10 Good

"A lot of restaurants and shops nearby. Also a good view of the Acropolis."

Astor Hotel Athens

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved this hotel. The fridge in the room was nice and cold. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. The air conditioning worked very well for us. The view from the rooftop bar was absolutely breathtaking!!! We will definitely stay here again if we come back!!"

The Pinnacle Athens

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Pinnacle, in the heart of Athens, where everything is just footsteps away we were able to take it all in. The staff was especially helpful with directions and recommendations for dining as well as other destination spots. They were able to arrange transfers for us and everything was timely and as expected. Would highly recommend when in Athens a stay at the pinnacle, especially for the rooftop views of the Acropolis and Parthanon."
