Kastraki Trip

The location is great. Just a block from the Marketplace. Great jumping point to any tourist destination. Staff was awesome. Rooms are small but comfy and clean. Bathroom is really small. If you are a larger person this is probably not going to work for you. Elevator can hold 2 people and a couple bags. But I really like this place.

Overall, our stay was fine. They turn the AC off starting in October for the winter, so the room was hot and difficult to sleep in. We had to sleep with the windows open to get cooler air, but given the location, there was a lot of street noise throughout the night. Everything was clean. The staff was kind and really did try to help. The rooftop bar was also closed for a private event, so we couldn’t go up there to escape the heat. It really was an unfortunate set of circumstances that made our stay not great. It’s a nice location for walking around Plaka and Monastiraki though.

We enjoyed the size of the room and large outdoor balcony in this hotel. We also loved having breakfast included.

We have used this hotel before and we were happy to try again. We like the central location but we sensed the rooms are getting dated and uncomfortable. Tiny vanity area and luggage space make it less convenient to place items and clothes for easy access. Holes in towels and worn linen weren’t attractive for us to come back next time. Loud street noise and Fridge can be a concern for light sleepers. Staff are polite but impersonal. We skipped breakfast this time as there are better options nearby for less.
