Location can’t be beat. So close to everything including the metro which is great to use to and from the airport. Breakfast was great and the view of the acropolis was very special. Rooms were good size and bed was very comfortable. Reception staff were very helpful to find us places to eat based on what we wanted.

Great location and very nice hotel. I don't know if it the value for the money was there, but I did appreciate the high-end amenities, the helpfulness of the staff and the location. We only stayed for one evening to catch an early flight back home, so I don't know if we got the full experience of staying there. Regardless it's a lovely hotel and would definitely recommend if it's within your budget.
