Hotels near Socrates' Prison

"Pros: Number one is location. You can't beat this. Walking distance to Acropolis, all Plaka, shopping, metro, Expedia activities meeting points. Second is breakfast, excellent viraety, fresh, tasty with the view of Acropolis! Third is helpful staff. Cons: room was just ok, bed is ok, so are pillows and blankets. Very basic. 3 star hotel level, no more. But pros for us were worth it and we would stay again here."

"We spent two nights at the COCO-MAT hotel near the Acropolis. Service was excellent from time of check in through to our departure. Room and amenities were first rate, great bath towels. The hotel’s breakfast was the best we’ve experienced in Europe. It was included in our room rate and had a wide variety of traditional hot foods and Greek breakfast staples, all very fresh. The plain Greek yogurt was so good we found ourselves eating yogurt, fruit and Greek omelets and passing up the excellent pastries. The hotel’s customer service was highlighted after we had checked out. We had booked an airport taxi through the front desk and were notified when it arrived. At the airport my passport fell out of a side pocket in the cab and was not realized until I arrived at the ticket counter. Fortunately, the taxi driver noticed the passport when getting into the taxi que and called the hotel. They checked with various lobby staff and one remembered we had mentioned our airline. The front desk gave this information to the driver and immediately began calling me to advise the passport had been found. My phone was on mute so did not hear the call. While standing at the airline checkin counter realizing a replacement passport would require missing the flight, and probably another day, or two, in Athens the taxi driver rushed up with the missing passport. It was at that point I noticed the multiple missed calls and emails from CoCo-Mat notifying me the passport had been found. Great hotel!"

"Very nice hotel. Friendly staff. Breakfast was quite good. Rooftop dining was lovely. hotel was well located. Our room was a good size and clean and well appointed. Just dark as the only window faced an interior courtyard. But overall met our needs. Great value for the room rate. "

"Great location and good, clean rooms. Also great to be able to store my luggage after check out."

"Friendly reception from staff. Pre-prepared checkin just needed copy of passport. On fifth floor. There's a lift! Room was away from the lift. Faced the Acropolis so no road noise from Syngrou street. Room is very well appointed. Fridge, kettle, expresso machine and two armchairs. Air conditioning. Blackout curtains. Overhead rain shower. Space for suitcases. Comfortable mattress. Very nice overall. Great for access to rental car offices. For visiting Syntagma and Monastiraki it's a long walk but plenty of restaurants nearby."

"Friendly staff and always very helpful. Clean rooms and quiet rooms."

"Very nice hotel, staff was fantastic, helpful in so many ways. We didn’t have time for breakfast the last day we were there and they didn’t have “take away boxes” but other than that I would highly recommend this property"

"Ok"

"High-class hotel. Well placed in city center for transportation. Excellent attentive and friendly staff."
