We really enjoyed our stay here. Hotel has great location, it is just a few steps from the metro station and is situated in a pleasant area surrounded by nice restaurants and bakeries. Room was also pretty nice. Breakfast was satisfactory ( not as much to choose from but yet still enough). Staff was also really helpful. Big plus was the 12pm check out time.

-The biggest problem i found about this property was their towel changing system. They took our used towels while cleaning the room before noon and weren’t able to provide us with new towels till approx. 6-7pm. So in case we wanted to take a shower we had to wait quite a long time. -Moreover our room neighboured with the cleaning ladies by whom we were being woken up every single morning at around 7am as how they were too loud. -The bathroom was a bit small, lacked storage + weird smell would come out of the drain.

Nice hotel on very good location. Good organised. This hotel have beautiful terrace where you can enjoy your drinks and dinner. With view over city of Athens and not faraway acropolis.

We looked for a hotel with a parking place , a garage. Yes, this one have a garage, but nobody mentioned that it is suitable only for cars not higher than 1.7 meters. This was a problem. Nevertheless, staying was pleasant. We parked our car in the garage very close to our hotel.

Good hotel. I had room with small balcony, smal fridge, cattle with come tea/coffee, TV, A/C and more. Luggage store. There are restaurant, bar in the hotel. Breakfact is provided also. Location is really near metro station, less than 100, on big square.

Neighborhood is really terrible.... Even main streets on not comfortable for walk, especially in darkness. Small inner street even in day-time is prefer do not pass by walk...

Staff really friendly and very helpful, location close to major sightseeing, parking space available, although a little tight. Breakfast was better than expected, fresh and with great variety!

I would say the absence of hand towels, but some twenty minutes after we entered the room, room service was at the door with a couple of them right out of the steamer, and that before we even realised there weren't any! So we liked everything 😊

Love the breakfast! Really complete! It was really near to the center walking and with a metro at the door. Indeed this is part of the tours of street graffiti that people usually dont see if dont pay. Hall and rooftop really nice!

The decoration of room was classique… eventhough if were more modern like hall or rooftop then I suppossed the prize will be different so… nothing very important!

the staff, the space, the room, super clean and quite fancy imo. My first time when l asked to change room in my life. I picked the hotel for having balcony and we end up getting the room above cantina with a small window, back door type of room. They change it, and it was short sweet and polite on both ends.

horrible breakfast, dear hotel, please put some kalamata olives and a selection of greek cheeses. it was the worse breakfast ever. everything was bulk we come in greece for food experience too, for mezze. One salami choice one hard cheese choice, and no feta or traditional food, they have cereal sweets and some very weird Chinese seasoned sausages recycled looking, bulk yogurt that I didn't trust. some mediocre green olives and I found opened butter/margarine in the pile so they recycle everything that looks ok, probably olives too, i had one egg on bread, tomato and cucumber. i stayed 4 nights but i didn't return for breakfast. everyone was happy with bread and spread nutella looking cream

The presentation of the hotel when we walked in was great. The location is central and around the corner from the Hop on Hop off bus and Metro and right next to a fantastic pasty shop. The hotel ticked all our boxes for a short weekend stay when you need a GREAT mattress and a good shower to sink into after a very hot day of sightseeing. The roof top bar had views of the Acropolis. Our room was a a tad on the small side but when you have a roof top bar you can work around this easily tag team and we had a balcony. The reception staff were very friendly and really helpful. The restaurant that was recommended on our first night was around the corner and was fantastic. The breakfast which was included catered for all tastes and set you have for the day.

There was nothing we did not like. I have a feeling the hotel may be been taken over recently and they are doing a gradual refurbishment so a few small things that need adjustment. but that could just be a me thing. The furniture is a little dated but as we were in such a busy city we were in and out of the room. The hotel felt secure and safe.

Room was clean and with good size, the location is convenient and the staff is really helpfull. It is a greay value for money hotel

If they ownership consider small details that makes the difference (eg newer tv's, brigther colours in the room decoration and few changes into the cabins of the bathroom that they were a bit old )this hotel will be more than valuable, but considering what you pay and what you get for sure is a great choice!

Is near of Acropolis. In 5-10 minutes you are in the middle of everything (ristorants, bars, shops, metro, places with history). The hotel is at 1 minute from station metro. So easy. The breakfast is delicious. The waiters, bartenders and receptionists are nice and very educated, ready to help with you. + 👌🏻 Cleaning bathroom and room👌🏻👌🏻. Small room...but enough for 1 person. The perfect air conditioning. Sleep like a baby. Also they have iron for clothes. And you can leave you baggage at reception if you have a late flight.

Because of Covid was close the roof. 🥺🥺

Located a few steps from metro station and bus stops nearby. Breakfast was good. Comfy bed, regular towel renewal, and housekeeping, TV, kettle, cups, mini-fridge.. just as what we would expect from what we paid for. Hotel staff was nice and helpful. We were worried about frightening previous comments about the neighbourhood but we didn't face any problems, nor drug users or empty syringes.
