I have never been led astray when relying on Trip Advisor and Expedia reviews until now. I know the cheap rate is tempting, but don’t do it. The pictures are not even remotely close to what the room looked like. The room was absurdly small, but that’s not the worst part. It was so incredibly loud all night, it sounded like our window was open (it wasn’t, it was just poor sound proofing or bad window/door seals). There’s absolutely no sound proofing or insulation between rooms, you can hear it all! There were no advertised pictures of the bathroom for the double room and for good reason. The shower was so small that you could not turn the water on all the way or the floor would get wet. The bathroom smelled like sewage constantly, not sure if it was the dirty shower curtain or a sewage pipe issue. We hated going back to the hotel room. That’s one of the only times I’ve felt that way and I’ve travelled on a budget many times. It was a good location, but there are other options in that location, check those out, I wish I had.

The location was good. Room was very small as well as the tiny tiny elevator. Breakfast wasn’t very good, and the lady who was preparing it was rude. Only had breakfast one morning but was charged for all 3 days. Very disappointed.

Great and safe location !!!! Staff was friendly and willing to help for any requirement. 24/7 Front desk. Quiet and basic rooms. Busy area full of businesses nearby including one of the most important Churches within the city. Hotel was surrounded by restaurants , ice cream shops, stores , and less than 10 min walk to the acropolis area.

Great location in the heart of Plaka. Close to all historical sites and great dining. Our balcony had a great view of the Acropolis. Room was small and the WC was exactly that, a closet. Shower was too small and water all over the floor. Needs an upgrade. Staff were very friendly.

We were staying there for one night, there was a bug on my pillow, when we told the front office, the young guy was very helpful and moved us to another room although it was a hassle to move our luggage. The next morning when we were checking out an older man was at the front desk and when we told him about the bug he became very offensive and disrespectful. We didn’t like his attitude so we canceled the other night stay at the end of the trip. The location is ok but rooms are very old.

Amazing location, helpful staff, clean, perfect air conditioning, but the mattress was a little older/well used than we expected. Also, the church nearby has a loud bell that chimes at least once every half hour. It did not bother us much, but it could be something to be aware of. Roof top view of the acropolis was great, and having a balcony in the area was lovely for relaxing when we arrived and after running all over Athens. We would likely stay here again!

The property is located in a great location about a 15 min walk to the Akropolis, and about 10 min to the Metro 3 to the airport. The rooms are tiny, as is the bathroom, but the shower was modern with good water flow from the top as well as a side spray. We had a very enjoyable dinner at a restaurant just around the corner. Breakfast at the rooftop is a definite highlight as you see the Akropolis. Since we weren't planning on spending a lot of time in the hotel, it didn't matter to us that the room was so tiny. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful. There is a tiny (2 person) elevator that was working well and helpful since my husband had sprained his ankle a few days earlier. About 10 yards from the hotel entrance is a small Maria Callas (the opera singer) museum that we very much enjoyed . The Parliament (the changing of the guards every hour) and the National gardens (free) are about a ten minute walk and also a nice place to walk around. The hotel is about a two star, but because of location and rooftop breakfast and cleanliness I would definitely consider staying there again, especially if it is just one or two nights.

This property has such an amazing rooftop view with the church and the Acropolis, it makes this place worth it! The property is older, but the view and location can't be beat. You walk through the Plaka neighborhood to get to the Acropolis, and it's a beautiful area. Walkable from the Syntagma subway stop in the business district. Walkable to the Monastriki neighborhood, which is NOT a lovely area because of all the graffiti. A walking shopping/ eating street is 2 blocks away, but i would recommend the atmosphere of the restaurants in Plaka. Front desk is on property 24/7 and wonderfully friendly and helpful. Helped us get a cab for 4 am. I highly recommend if they are available!
