The hotel offers a nice view of the Acropolis from the rooms, but the smell of smoke is a downside. The service was wonderful with friendly staff, although some staff members were not as helpful. The location is convenient next to train and metro stations, but the area is not particularly safe. The dining options are basic, and the breakfast could be improved. Overall, the facilities are adequate.

My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms had an interesting style and color scheme, and the mattresses were just right - not too soft, not too hard. I found them very comfortable, but the lingering cigarette smoke was a drawback. The service was exceptional; they even prepared a nice decoration on the bed every day. The location near Larissa metro station was very convenient, making it easy to explore Athens. The dining experience, however, was subpar with the limited options for the continental European breakfast.

The hotel is conveniently located near Athens' train station and a metro station, making it easy to explore Athens. The rooms are spacious, clean, and have a helpful Greek guide. The service is excellent, especially from Stefan, and they offer a variety of services. However, the area around the hotel can be concerning after dark. The dining options could be improved, but overall a good value for money.

The hotel is conveniently located near Larissa Station, making it easy to access the Metro and explore Athens. The rooms were clean and cozy, but facing the street can be a bit noisy. The service was inconsistent, with some staff exceptionally helpful while others were disrespectful. The dining options were simple but plentiful, lacking variety. The location is ideal for transportation but lacks charm.

I found the hotel to be perfectly located next to the metro station, with comfortable rooms equipped with a bathroom and a balcony.
