WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL
Staying in Plaka puts you in the most atmospheric part of Athens, and Nosteo lets you experience it from a beautifully restored historic building.
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Nosteo is a small boutique hotel set inside a beautifully restored neoclassical townhouse in central Athens, with a quiet feel that’s hard to find in such a walkable location. The building has plenty of character, and the interiors feel warm and personal rather than overly polished. It’s a great base if you want to spend your days out in the city and come back to somewhere calm. Some rooms have balconies or Juliet balconies with city outlooks, but Acropolis views are not guaranteed, and the hotel does not run a dedicated rooftop terrace or rooftop breakfast setup like some Athens hotels do. This is more of a refined, intimate city hideaway where the main appeal is the location, the character of the building, and the quiet atmosphere.
Our take on the stay
Bob
This is Athens with zero logistics. You step out onto Ermou, walk everywhere, and come back to a five-room townhouse that feels calm and contained.
HOTEL LOCATION
MORE INFORMATION
This is great
An ultra-small stay in the very centre of Athens, just off Ermou Street and a short walk to Syntagma Square, so you can do the city almost entirely on foot
A restored neoclassical-style building with high ceilings and a calm, residential feel that’s a welcome contrast to the energy outside
A simple, intimate setup that feels more like a private townhouse than a hotel
Perfect for a short Athens stop where you want location, quiet, and one standout view without any fuss

You can explore iconic landmarks like the Acropolis, then drift into buzzing districts full of food, art, and everyday local energy.
