Fortress of Karababa

This hotel was phenomenal, excellent location and beautifully decorated. The room was larger than we expected and it was just a few minutes to breakfast with the most incredible views. The breakfast selection was wide ranging and the best we had on this trip.. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Athens and plan to stay again when we return.

Being right in the center of Plaka was a big plus.

Severe health and hygiene issues - confirmed bedbugs. We experienced a severe hygiene issue during our stay at this property. Within the first 48 hours, my husband began developing severe bite marks. We notified the front desk immediately to request a deep clean and fresh bedding, but the issue was dismissed as local outdoor bug bites. Despite thoroughly checking the room initially and finding nothing, we later discovered a dead bedbug under the covers. We have photographic documentation of both the insect and the daily bite patterns. Other guests have noted similar experiences in past reviews. Travelers should exercise caution when booking this location.
