Couldn't ask for a better location within walking distance to dining, shopping, sightseeing and historical areas! Even the taxi driver who dropped us off from the airport complimented us on our choice of location in the beautiful Plaka district. This area has a great local vibe and there is so much to experience.
Our room was beautiful, comfortable, clean and well appointed. We chose accommodations without a view of the Acropolis, because pretty much everywhere outside has a view of it. Why pay for a view of the Acropolis if you're going to be outside enjoying everything the area has to offer? There are tons of rooftop restaurants, cafes and taverns where you can enjoy the view. Even many of the street cafes have amazing views. The hotel staff was friendly, polite and referred us to amazing local restaurants and bars that were reasonably priced, so we could avoid the mediocre overpriced tourist traps. If we asked for anything, they were quick to respond and always had a smile.
We made the mistake of grabbing the first taxi at the airport. As a result, we paid more than we should have and were dropped off farther away from the hotel than we would have preferred. We highly recommend working with the hotel for taxi service. The driver that the hotel arranged picked us up closer to the hotel and was more reasonably priced.
We couldn't experience everything that we wanted to in 3 days, so we will stay at the Athenian Foss again when we return to Athens!
