Independent Syntagma Square hotels in Athens, Greece

Good hotel with pleasant staff. The staff in the restaurant was especially nice and professional. Serving breakfast and they made sure we had our last orders in before the kitchen closed for the morning. If I was picky then it would be the mattress which was slightly to soft (but that is only me) and also hotel was slightly noisy but that can't be helped. All in all, I agree with the rating of 4.7 if not slightly higher.

A warm welcome on arrival and all staff were friendly throughout our stay. Christmas week was an ideal time for a visit to Athens. Beautiful decorations in Syntagma Square and free Concerts staged. A great atmosphere.No crowds at the historical sites. Good fun at the `Christmas Factory' with very enthusiastic Elves. The X95 bus from the Airport was only 5 euros pp and ran every 15 minutes. Good street entertainment in the pedestrianised areas. The portions in Cafes /Restaurants were huge and perfect for sharing. Although there is a Funicular up Lykavittos Hill, the walk up through the pine trees is really pretty. Fantastic view. Don't miss the changing of the Guard on Sundays as the road is closed and there is a full parade unlike other days.

Hotel is good for what it is. The hotel is old and had the feeling of a dorm room. If you are put off by that ,you might want to stay elsewhere. However, the hotel was clean, free breakfast, super close to the sights (10 minute walk) and any good food options. I found the hotel street noise distracting but was still able to sleep. Worth it for the price and location.

Christina at reception offered us a free upgrade on the 8th floor , room was great , very comfortable , spacious , good size room. Breakfast offers plenty of options , staff make sure there is food all the time . Brilliant location you can walk to Athens main tourist attractions and shooing areas, I.e Ermou street for shoes and Kolonaki for bespoke boutiques .. Friendly staff very welcoming .. Special thanks to Christina

I visit Athens every year. Have been staying at a different hotel and this year we were told they did not have the room. I booked the Athens Plaza as ti was the closest hotel to where I like to be that did not seem outrageously priced! I WAS EXTREMELY surprised at how amazing the staff were and how beautiful and spacious the hotel was! In simple words this will be where we will stay every year from now on!!!!

LOCATED AT THE CENTRE OF TOWN IS NOT THE ONLY ADVANTAGE OF THIS HOTEL. STAFFS EXCELLENT SERVICE IS THE KEY FOR A GREAT STAY.

Stayed at the Diamond Homtel in January 2015, and would stay there again. It was clean, comfortable, decent breakfast, excellent location just a short walk from Syntagma square where the bus from the airport no X95 stops, and the staff were really friendly

I stayed here for a brief stay (less than 24 hrs). I was impressed with the room, how luxurious it felt. I wish I had stayed here on a previous trip to Athens (when I was here for a bit longer).

This hotel was right in the Platka and we could walk everywhere: to the Acropolis Museum; to Constitution Sq. for the changing of the guard; to the metro station; and to a multitude of shops, cafés and resturants and, of course to the Parthenon. We loved it. The rooms were small but accommodating (king size bed, tv, refrigerator, safe and importantly AC.) The staff was excellent and the continental breakfast was very generous. The price was great (50.00 compared to the Hilton at 250.00 and up). Would definitely book it again.

The staff went out of their way to make us comfortable and our stay enjoyable. We highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again.
