The staff was professional, informative, pleasant, and helpful to arrange transfers. One person in particular at the reception area was Myleta. She made us smile everyday starting with her infectious smile every morning when she greeted us as we walked through the lobby. She made sure that we had everything we needed and gave us good advice on where to go, what to see and how to get there. All of the staff were cheerful and pleasant. What we really appreciated is that the hotel location is just outside of the tourist area meaning less crowded with tourists and more authentic food as well as local people eating and singing at the restaurant on the street level below the hotel. We had a chance to meet and talk with Athenians living in the area!!!! We would definitely stay here the next time we visit Athens.

PLAY Theatrou Athens is fantastic. Rooms are very clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The rooftop bar has a spectacular view! I loved being able to easily reach hotel staff through WhatsApp. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The neighborhood around the hotel is diverse and vibrant, convenient to all popular Athens attractions. It is also well situated for exploration of off the beaten path sights. When I return to Athens, I definitely will stay at PLAY Theatrou again.

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!

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

The room overall was great , clean . Around the area it has a lot of old buildings and lots of graffiti, but that’s all around Athens . The place is safe the people around are nice and it’s safe to walk around . Loved that 2 blocks away you have the tourist area lots to eat and shop . It’s only like 20 mt. Walki from the acropolis. And you have the view of the acropolis from the roof top ( very nice ) definitely would stay here again . Make sure you get your PIN number to enter the hotel before you arrive . That’s something I don’t know . But luckily there was someone coming out when we got there , it was at night .
Sun set from the rooftop. But it was a bit cloudy but still beautiful

We check in late at nite and got scared with the surrounding areas but inside of the hotel is okay. The lady who checked us in was very nice, she made us feel comfortable. The view of Acropolis at nite from the hotel rooftop was awesome! In the morning we walked around the area and found so many stores, restaurants close by. Even Monastiraki and Plaka is just walking distance. 2 kind ladies in the reception desk (named Marinela and Constancia, I hope I got their names right) helped us a lot when we were trying to find taxi to get to the airport due to transport strike? They made sure the taxi we got was okay to get to the airport. My impression is good about the hotel and people who works there except that we didn’t try to go out @ nite anymore for our safety. During the day, its recommended to walk around the area.

The service we received at the hotel is amazing. Nothing to say about that or the cleanliness. They are quick to answer and help if needed. The only bemol would be that the insulation is not great so you hear a lot of the outside noises. You should definitely take the time to visit the hotel rooftop. The view of the Acropolis is impressive!
