“Nefeli's family-run atmosphere, a welcome change from chain hotels, immediately sets it apart. The location in Plaka is superb, allowing easy walks to the Acropolis and other sites; from what I gathered, the hotel feels more like a home than just a place to stay. It's clear why guests return-the central location and personal touch create a memorable experience.”

Street parking is unlikely, but there's a parking garage nearby. Ideal if you plan to explore the city by foot.

tiny room plastic curtain

The location was great and near the main places. It made it easy to get around.

The room was TINY, it felt very cramped for the duration of my stay. The shower was equally small and featured a plastic curtain, I found it quite unpleasant. Breakfast was basic. The effort was minimal.
