We have asked for the take away breakfast and it was our surprise to get in breakfast box boiled eggs, yogurt, butter and jam. Also some slices of bread and some fruits. We were wondering how we were supposed to eat it without any cutlery and how it we were supposed to eat boiled eggs in airport. I suggest providing cutlery if there is a food which can't be used without it and also boiled eggs is not a great option for early travellers to airport. I can't imagine how I would peel those eggs and how I would eat that without a salt and butter. I believe that hotels of such high standards can do better

This is a lovely hotel in the middle of Thessaloniki with easy walking to all the central area. The staff are lovely and helpful - overall great stay. Two small notes - firstly the rooms are small - we deliberately booked a Junior Suite, but it was not that big with a tiny bathroom, due to the building design. Secondly, some service was variable, such as at breakfast, when some items we unavailable, or needed refreshing - but minor points
