Great location, super comfy, staff amazing
We had a 5 day trip to Athens. The hotel was in a great location, walkable to most sights and areas we wanted to see. The hotel was spotless, the staff were amazing and best of all the bed, pillows and bedding was the extremely comfortable. The breakfast was also good with many options and great coffee. We would definitely stay again.

Athens break
Nice hotel with good size room we stayed in Junior suite. Buffet Breakfast is very good quality and delicious. But it is same items everyday. It would be nice to change up the breakfast items for ex: potatoes make differently, eggs made differently like French toast..overall we enjoyed staying at the hotel staff and service excellent..

This hotel looks beautiful in the inside. The rooms are nice and cozy. Small jacuzzi bathtub in room.Breakfast was nice. Check in time is 3:00pm. Don't get there early because they don't have a large cleaning staff. I waited til 3/a FEW hours. Construction going on. Had to keep my window curtains closed because men on a lift kept passing by working on the building. Most of the staff ate friendly. I think theres clubs near by because a traffic jam at 2:30am with horns blowing is crazy. Greece hotels have no microwave to warm up food. And they don't have face rags. Overall it an nice place to stay. I would give it a 7 out of 10.

Not comfortable Rooms
on one hand, excellent service, perfect breakfast,but not comfortable for us: - no place enough to put your staff, too many gadgets on the only table, not enough hangers, even not in the shower, - not enough electric sockets for our personal instruments, chargers, medical devices etc. - one bottle of water only for 3 days... Hi dear manager, this is not a Museum, or a display room, people come to the hotel and pay, a lot of money, and deserve some comfort.

The hotel is cute, clean and convenient. Love the decoration! Staffs were very helpful and polite. We walked only 10 mins to Acropolis, Parthenon and the museum. Our room had Acropolis view. Everything was perfect! Thank you for your service!

It’s new and being well taken care of so far. The room is light and attractive, has a very comfortable bed, and well thought out switches. Nice bathrooms. Excellent rooftop dining room with great views of Athens. The hotel is in easy walking distance to Syntagma Square, the Plaka, Acropolis and many sites, and also convenient to good public transport if not in the mood to walk.

Fantastic hotel and great location! The room was huge with giant windows overlooking the city. There was a swing hanging from the ceiling to boot! The breakfast was the best we've ever had at a hotel. You should stay here if you can!
