The area at first looked a little sketchy but it was actually very safe and lively and we could walk everywhere. Our room had an amazing full view of the acropolis as does the rooftop. Very friendly staff. Breakfast is in a very nice restaurant down the street

2/10 Poor

NO PLAY JUST HORROR

£625 for 3 nights in in a r eally dangerous area,non stop noise all night,no sleep,no room key,no breakfast,had to go to another hotel for it in an even worse area. The most frightning,expensive and exausting stay Ive had in 20 years of using hotel.com. DO NOT GO THERE.

Stuff very friendly, great location
Boris, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was spacious, clean and each bedroom had a balcony and the view of the Acropolis was outstanding from the living room balcony! The hotel staff was excellent and very responsive to our needs. We were even given a bottle of local wine to welcome us! The area that the hotel is located in seemed a bit sketchy upon arrival with graffiti everywhere. One of our taxi drivers told us 10 years ago, the area was bad but it has improved tremendously. It appears the area is going through a regentrification. It is centrally located within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. The restaurants were great and the shopping fantastic and all the people we met were very friendly and welcoming. Overall, I would definitely recommend a stay at the Play Theatrou Athens!

10/10 Exceptional

Very good communication through WhatsApp Let us know about the strike so we can come prepare. Help us book the taxi even request is last minute. Print documents for us as well. They gave small bottle of alcohol for free. The only downside is there was completely no room to put toiletry in the vanity area. The hallway was also dark unless someone passed by so the light would be on. The couple blocks within the hotel is a bit ghetto, but all attractions like acropolis and plaka are within walking distance

Very nice rooms large double patio great view of the Parthenon at night rooftop bar.
nicole, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The service here was phenomenal! The front desk staff was prompt to answer questions and arrange transportation whenever we needed. The room was spacious, modern and clean. Location was walking distance to nearly everything that we wanted to explore in Athens and only a short metro ride if we didn’t want to walk as far. Our room had multiple balconies with amazing views! Also, really enjoyed the restaurant located beside the hotel.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was very nice, spacious, clean and overall great value for what I paid. Check in was smooth. One highlight was the restaurant just outside the hotel serving delicious, authentic Greek food. While the immediate area around the hotel feels a bit gritty, you are just a 5 minute walk from several nice spots and major attractions, which makes the location very convenient overall.
Abdul Rahman, 2-night trip

Very nice experience. Front desk was very helpful and inviting
Lazondria, 1-night trip

Booked based on price and location near Acropolis. Staff arranged transfer from airport, provided excellent advice on area attractions and dining. View from balcony was great, from rooftop bar unbeatable.Room was very clean and comfortable.

Accessible/walking to major attractions. The only problem is no air conditioning only fan for summer
Basilio, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff here couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful! We would stay here again, but not in the middle of summer, without a pool the heat was unbearable and we had pay to use the pool at another hotel nearby. Just a plunge pool would have been great (but the plunge pool is now unused).
