There are no suites or connecting rooms here, and the best rooms to request are those recently renovated or the panoramic Acropolis Double rooms with small scenic balconies.

The Telegraph8.0
"Perfect for visitors to Athens who want to do the sights without any fuss, Plaka offers comfortable, modern rooms and an open-air rooftop bar, close to the Acropolis." Full review

Room furnishings are comfortable if plain." Full review
Frommer's "Great location, inspiring Acropolis view from rooftop café, and perfectly decent...balcony rooms on the fifth and sixth floors have fine views over the Plaka, while some have Acropolis views." Full review

Star Service "This isn't just a new hotel but a new direction for hotels in Athens. This madcap modern mooring for art-hungry travelers is the boldest bit of real estate in the city, bar none." Full review

"Upscale New Hotel is an intricately designed boutique property... the hotel has a well-regarded restaurant as well as the top-floor Art Lounge." Full review
Afar Magazine "You'll find plenty of traditional Greek touches at NEW Hotel (and a central location), but that's not to say it is a traditional hotel experience." Full review

Don't miss the rooftop bar for cocktails made with Mastic--a better alternative than the Ouzo stuff that has pine-y and creamy with a faint bite of licorice.
Jetsetter "Quirky design hotel with a rooftop lounge and artwork by Greek designers in Athens's hip Plaka neighborhood." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Details such as Kiehl’s amenities and great bedding do not go amiss. Perhaps even better than the design, is the food." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This city-centre hotel incorporates the long-standing history and modern, hip culture of Athens through its beautiful contemporary design and imaginative spaces." Full review
