Reviews and Ratings
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.
