One can choose either to stay at the Plaka district, or somewhere else. Obviously because Plaka is a touristy area, you can expect the prices of the hotel/b&b to be more expensive. We chose to stay at Metaxourghio (pronounced Meta-sur-gio) at Minoa Athens Hotel, after looking at the reasonable price offered through booking.com (about 40 Euro/night).
There's nothing fancy about this hotel, besides its price and location. It's 50 metres from the metro, and there's a convenience shop once you come out of the metro. There is also a Greek restaurant called Postcript few doors away from this hotel. More info on the hotel here. Athens' metro is very efficient, and it's not difficult to find your way around.

Too bad I do not have good pictures of the room. We were too tired and couldn't wait to 'dump'our back packs on the bed.
