Please avoid for your own benefit. I have stayed in many hotels across the world, this is by far the worst. Worse than a 2-star. Problems: 1) Rude and unhelpful staff. No welcome to us after arriving late in night and no simple ‘thank you for your stay.’ Just a single demand to pay their city tax before we even got our room. 2) No hot water to shower on 1st night (1.30am). We were told, couldn’t be fixed for at least 30mins. 3) Construction (drilling and hammering) at 7.45am after first night. No-one could sleep through this, not even Sleeping Beauty. 4) Room supplies (eg. Bottled water, Coffee sachets, shower gel, shampoo) - only complimentary on the FIRST night. 5) After complaining about noise (7.45am) we requested to move room which was granted. Same problems with constriction noise. 6) Reception staff said Hotel Manager not available but would speak to him when he came back, for us to speak to him. No feedback from reception or Manager at all. 7) We were told bags would be kept in safe storage place. On day of leaving, only place we could leave them was next to reception (accessible to public). Honestly and sincerely, you would much more than this, particularly for a 4-star hotel. You would think they would value loyalty by staying extra nights. Please avoid as you will be disappointed.

Lovley spacious clean room with a fantastic bathroom and the best shower ever. Plenty of room for my friend and I and as ladies, we appreciated the mirrors in all the places we needed them with excellent overhead lighting for doing make up etc! The location is fine, not the most salubrious but we always felt safe and the head reception chap, Giorgio, was absolutely lovely. Just a shame I emailed the hotel twice to ask if there was definitely a kettle in the room and they didn’t respond. So I took my travel kettle and it wasn’t needed. It’s just off a busy main road so quite noisy but the balcony door closed meant we still had a good night sleep.

Our recently renovated room was excellent. Housekeeping was great. Loved the rooftop dipping pool, bar and lounge. 360 degree views of Athen including the acropolis! Cute little balcony. Great breakfast…and all very affordable and good value for the money. The location was somewhat sketchy…graffiti everywhere, garbage in the streets, but we stuck to the main streets and didn’t go out after dark.

Rooftop pool and bar was comfortable and gave great views of the Acropolis, especially at night when it was lit up. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. We arrived before check in time and provided luggage storage to allow us to explore the area around the hotel. Great buffet breakfast provided each morning.
