If you are not from Athens-do not rent a car, driving is crazy and there is zero parking. The hotel is lovely. Service is lovely. The restaurant is amazing, great view, excellent breakfast and dinners. The hotel is located very central to Plaka, the acropolis is within walking distance. Would absolutely stay there again.
