NJV Athens Plaza Hotel

"We had a solid stay at the NJV Athens Plaza Hotel. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of downtown Athens, just steps from Parliament and Syntagma Square. We even got to watch the grand Sunday changing of the guards, which was such a special experience. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and generous, and although the hotel is a bit older, it’s kept relatively clean. The staff was polite enough—not overly warm, but certainly not rude.\n\nThat said, a few things could be improved. They only offer two small complimentary bottles of water, no matter how many nights you’re staying, which felt a bit stingy—especially given the summer heat and how generous other hotels in Greece were in this regard. The towels were rough and the beds weren’t very comfortable, likely due to older spring mattresses that could really use an upgrade.\n\nAlso, we found it a bit odd that all the lobby furniture was extremely low to the ground, making it an uninviting place to sit and relax, especially when waiting for your room to be ready.\n\nAll in all, it was a convenient and decent stay, and the location truly makes it worth it, though there’s definitely room for improvement in comfort and amenities."

"The room was slightly outdated in terms of decor, but it still offers a comfortable stay. Room service was excellent with great selection and prompt delivery. The buffet breakfast was decent with a fair variety of options, though nothing particularly standout. Location was good—short walking distance to lots of food options and only about a 20 min walk to the Acropolis. Overall, a solid choice if you value service and location over modern finishes."

"I recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a very pleasant experience. The service was excellent—staff were attentive, friendly, and always willing to help. The hotel itself looks quite modern, especially in the common areas, which are stylish and well-maintained.\n\nHowever, the rooms are a bit of a mixed bag. Some have been refurbished and feel fresh and updated, while others still have an older, more dated look. It’s worth checking ahead if a modern room is important to you.\n\nOne of the biggest highlights is the location—it’s incredibly convenient, with easy access to key attractions, restaurants, and public transport.\n\nAll in all, a great choice if you value good service and a prime location, just be mindful of the room type you book."
