Rooms were clean and modern. Front desk staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area and where we needed to go. Convenient to major sites.
Room was clean and comfortable. The staff weren’t particularly friendly and breakfast was okay. The hotel is a good location and quiet. Couldn’t really hear neighbours, which is good.
Great location, central to everything you want to see in Athens. We were able to walk everywhere and if we needed a car the hotel was great about making accommodations ahead of time!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The reception was very helpful and welcoming. The rooms were a bit dark and without and natural lighting. The bartender in the evening was outstanding. OVerall a good stay and the location was quite ideal.
We arrived early and were very grateful to be given an early check in. The room was fine. It is basic, but was clean and comfortable. The shower and shower products were amazing. The breakfast was good. Overall nothing outstanding, but good for one night. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Lots of places to eat nearby.
The property was clean and of the right size for two people. It’s close enough to the main attractions yet far enough to avoid crowds and noise. Attentive staff and delicious, wholesome breakfast. Will stay here again.
