The Esse is located in a quiet neighborhood, easily walkable. There are several shops and dining options within a 5 minute walk. The rooms are nice and the view of the Acropolis is amazing.

Great service for Costa and the team. Perfect location in Plaka right below the acropolis. It doesn’t get much better than that! The room was clean, modern and well kept. The bathroom is the highlight. Strongly recommend this hotel. I will be back!

Great location for exploring Athens with friendly staff. Lovely room with Acropolis view. I personally did not like the bathroom arrangement but that is my preference rather that any problems. Great breakfast.

Well located quiet hotel situated in the Plaka area. Beautiful large modern comfortable room with an awesome view. Breakfast is outside of the hotel but literally a 20 second walk away and the breakfasts were excellent with plenty of choice. Staff at the hotel were pleasant and gave us useful information. Would definitely stay there again when we revisit Athens.
