Adam's Hotel

Adam's Hotel

3.9/548 Reviews
Plaka
Adams Hotel is a basic hotel with an incredible location. It is located hotel in the heart of the popular Plaka area. LOCATION: It could not have been more central. We walked everywhere. It is a 5 - 6 minute walk to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Hadrian’s Arch and the Temple of Olympian Zeus are just around the corner. It is close to Adrianou and Kidathineon Streets, lively, fun streets full of restaurants, bars and shops. Brettos Bar (which I highly recommend) is just a few minutes away. ROOM: Our room was very small but we were only there for one night and it was clean and the bed was comfortable, so it did the job. It was perfectly adequate and was good value for the price. There were small compromises for example the soap/shampoo were in dispensers on the wall instead of having separate toiletries and the towels were small and thin but on the upside, the water supply was strong and stayed hot. SERVICE: Service was consistently friendly and welcoming. Email communication before we arrived was good. They replied quickly and they gave us clear instructions for arrival. They stored our bags for a few hours after check-out so that we could go and explore. In any case we were not rushed out as check-out was 12:00, which is a generous time. A buffet-style breakfast was included in the price. The dining room at the front of the hotel was a pleasant spot to sit and the breakfast was fine. FACILITIES: This is a decent but basic hotel so if you want a range of hotel facilities, then this is not for you. There is a rooftop balcony but we did not go up there (a shame as I believe it has good views of the Acropolis) but thats about it. A very small kiosk in the tiny square outside the hotel, called Salt N Sugar where we grabbed a coffee.

Hotel location is good, see the Temple of Zeus, the front desk lady service is warm. We have a reasonable price upgrade to a large suite with a balcony with a kitchen sink and a separate hand washing bathroom. We bought a gift at the gift shop downstairs and also called the front desk into the room. The picture video was taken, but unfortunately transferred to the hard disk. We are two big and one small, the children live in the living room, the living room is very big. The layout is reasonable. Breakfast is delivered to the room, and the front desk downstairs is checked in advance.

Stunning and lovely. The hospitality in Greece is fabulous. Anyone planning a trip to Athens- in Plaka, which is an ancient town walkable to the Acropolis, I highly recommend a little boutique BnB called Home & Poetry which can be booked from hotels or booking dot com. I got a steal on a small single room but some are suites, one with a front balcony. There is a rooftop, breakfast, a (side/back) view of the Acropolis, many nearby eateries, bars, gelaterias, bakeries, shops. Europe is the place to NOT stay in an American hotel. I cannot wait to come back and bring my husband with me next time, and also sail to the Cyclades (that was canceled in 2020).

Staff are most helpful for taxi booking n showing areas around. Room with balcony is good for having a coffee n feel the atmosphere around. The only thing is the lift is very small so if your room is in higher floors, you’d better travel light. Location is the best in Plaka with lots of nice restaurants n cafes, also only 5 minutes from airport express bus station at Syntagma Square.
