Palladian Home

Palladium Home is a small hotel located right in the Plaka, or Old Town.Rooms are small, old but clean. Small bathroom. Walk out the door and have your choice of a number of small restaurants and plenty of tourist-type shops. We loved eating at the Greek Trattoria just outside the door! Try the orange pie! warning: There are about 8 stairs leading up to the first floor, and there is no side railing, so this could present issues for some. If you stay on the 2nd or 3rd floor, you will need to go up MANY stairs! Also, taxis and cars are not able to drive up to the hotel door, so be prepared to schlep your bags a half-block or so. Despite these issues, we -a 79 year old couple with some mobility issues- still loved staying here! Staff is amazing, free breakfast at the nearby restaurant was terrific, just make sure you get one of the two rooms on the lowest floor if you have any mobility issues or can't do stairs.

The staff were easily the best part of the experience. Kostas was incredibly helpful and an all round great guy who was always friendly and approachable whenever we interacted. He provided us with great food and experience recommendations, as well as helping us out with the area and where to visit. The location was the best you're going to get. In the heart of Plaka, close to all the major landmarks and with plenty of great restaurants and Tavernas nearby. The bed was also probably the most comfortable beds we have slept in. The room was always perfectly cleaned and presented, which is a credit to the staff who do housekeeping.

As a solo traveller, the property was perfect. Set in a pretty square of restaurants, one is spoilt for choice at dinner time, without wandering far on one’s own. Set in a lovely mansion with, I’m guessing, 10ft ceilings and retained period features, the bedroom and shower room were spotlessly clean with calm cool, neutral tones. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable I’ve had away from home. Air conditioning was quiet and effective. A safe is provided alongside a fridge containing a large bottle of water. Loved having the use of the tea/coffee making facilities in a room down the corridor. All the tourist attractions are a walkable distance from here, making it an ideal location. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Pantelis went above and beyond by kindly arranging a theatre booking and organising an early breakfast to enable me to meet for my walking tour - customer service at its best, thank you!

The hotel had so much character and charm. The location was perfect, restaurants and shopping literally right outside the door. The Acropolis, Forum and Agora are all within walking distance. The staff was very helpful and responsive in coordinating taxis to and from the airport. I would definitely stay in the same place if I’m ever back in Athens.

This hotel is very well located, and the staff is helpful. On my second stay I went for a larger room with a balcony, which had a great view of the Acropolis. That was worth the extra money.
