This hotel was amazing! There is not a single thing I can say to fault it at all. From the moment I walked in the Door right through to the last day of my stay, the staff were attentive . The rooftop bar was absolutely incredible with stunning views of the Acropolis and a Delicious menu to march. I would definitely stay here again and am recommending to all of my friends

What a perfect location, close and within walking distance to absolutely everything. The room was quite large by European standards, modern bathroom, comfortable bed. Yay, bathrobes! The staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Nice to have a complimentary breakfast before heading out for the day. If we were ever back in Athens, we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. You won't go wrong at Plaka Arch Suites.

Stayed at the Pinnacle for 3 nights, when we got there, we were welcomed by Yiota and were given a full overview of the property as well as the surroundings, Yiota was very kind and helpful and was a pleasure to chat with. The view of Acropolis from the rooftop was amazing. We had a great stay at the Pinnacle hotel and will be sure to suggest it to our friends and family. When we return to Athens, we will be sure to come back and stay there again.

This is a fantastic place in the middle of Plaka - photos don't really do it justice. Very spacious and comfortable, lovely staff, great location. We had a really nice two nights here, very easy to see the main attractions and get around town, felt very safe and secure. The staff also held our bags both before check-in and after check-out. Highly recommend!

Ioanna could not be more helpful. The rooms are very spacious and are reasonably priced. They also provide tea and coffee which is not always provided at other venues. It is very close to Monasteraki station and the market.

The staff were amazing. We booked this room from New Zealand for our daughter who was solo travelling. Her ferry was delayed and the hotel organised her a secure taxi from the port to the hotel in the middle of the night. They were so helpful and amazing service.
