Very nice stay

I really enjoyed my stay. The room is small and basic but I had a nice terrace with a view of the Acropolis which was fantastic, and the room was very clean and always freshened daily. The staff was friendly and helpful. I wasn’t impressed with the breakfast but I prefer going out anyway so I didn’t partake more than once. I would definitely return especially if I could get the same room 32 for the same price.

Centrally located and convenient to the metro and most sites. Rooftop space was a lovely bonus with a view of the Acropolis.The room itself was very small and the walls are paper thin. Conversations from street level restaurants, as well as the 24 hour church bell can be heard very clearly and loudly.

Ladies and gentlemen if you’re looking for an extremely tiny place, this is the one. While working on my number 2 💩my forehead was on the sink and my other leg in the shower. The shower it’s barely 2 feet square. I couldn’t even get to shampoo my hair or move my arms freely. If you are paranoid about small tiny spaces, it’s here. Then the staff tried to get in my room 3 times for no apparent reason. I thought I was getting room service, but nope. This place it’s watching your moves. When you get ou , your checked ✅ when you get in your checked ✅, I doubt about safety here

A good budget option

Great location - which unfortunately means a lot of night-time noise if you opened the window, but was stuffy if you kept it closed - a double-edged sword! Generally clean and comfortable but very compact, however there was an excessive amount of dust on the top of the wardrobe The view of the Acropolis from the bed was lovely. Staff on reception were friendly A good budget option

It would have been nice to have been told what the wifi was and shown around a bit. Check-in was pretty easy, and the people were nice. I think depending on where you are in the hotel you can hear the church bell, it is really loud. Other than that it was a comfortable stay and the view was stunning.

Athens trip

Hotel location is good as near the prime center. However the room is too small. Also not convenient as need to carry luggages for many steps and lift is too small to handle my luggages with two persons together. A surprise with good views at the top of the hotel and price is reasonable with food provided.

The location is superb. Everything is walking distance and all the top bars are within 3- 10 minutes walk. Met 4 staff separately, all are warm and hospitable. Bedsheet a bit worn out, but it's clean. Same as the toilet and room, don't look fancy but still clean. View with acropolis is kind of a surprise for me. But seems not every room can view that. The price is really budget. So there's some downside. 1. Next to a church which rings the bell every 30mins, yes, even at midnight, 3am, etc. 2. Shower pressure is poor. It should be easily fixed by changing to other pressure boosted shower head. 3. WiFi is super slow. We are in 2024 now, I hope they can improve this.

The hotel is located in a strategic location; half way between Syntagma and Monastiraki metro stations, steps from Ermou shopping street and directly next to the Holy Metropolitan Church. The view from the Terrace is amazing as it overlooks both the church and the Acropolis. This is a rare find in Athens. The Staff are friendly, attentive, and accomodating. The hotel itself is basic; a kettle is provided upon request ,the shower water is hot, the bed is comfortable. The elevator, though outdated, functions just fine and I could fit with both my suitcases. It is no different than ones found in old buildings in Europe. Facilities do require maintenance and I already knew that before booking the hotel. That did not pose an issue for me.
