Home and Poetry, Athens

Wonderful location!

Unique, in the heart of Plaka, friendly staff.

This is a charming hotel with each room dedicated to a different Greek poet. The room was spotless and nicely decorated. We had a large corner room with lots of windows and a fireplace. A lovely breakfast is served on a rooftop with direct views of the Parthenon, with eggs made to order. The staff were welcoming and helpful. People with mobility issues would have a problem with access, as there is a flight of stairs to get into the hotel - there is a (tiny) elevator once you are in the hotel, but I do not believe there is access that does not involve stairs. Staff helped us to carry our bags up the entry stairs. Nice cosmetics provided. It is an easy walk from this hotel to many of the essential tour sites in Athens, and it is located in an area that is very pleasant to walk around and explore.

Nice hotel within walking distance of most everything you'll want to see in Athens! The staff was nice but sometimes found them missing from the office when we needed something (like a new key card after we locked ourselves out :-/ Also the A/C did not seem to be working very well

We loved this hotel! It is centrally located in the Plaka District. Everything in central Athens is within easy walking distance. It is a remodeled residence and exhibits that charm. Every room is different and eclectic in its own way. Our room was not large but very comfortable and elegant. It served our needs perfectly. The rooftop restaurant provides the included breakfasts which were outstanding - from a buffet or a hot breakfast made-to-order (or both). And the view from the roof... spectacular! The staff was always very friendly and helpful.
