Very nice and friendly place in Thessaloniki

Very nice and clean place, 10 minutes walk from the port. Very well maintained and designed. We had a lovely balcony to the street (that is pretty small and quiet). The communication with the staff was very pleasant and friendly. Would recommend the stay there for short stays. The price was terrific for the size of the room and the condition. The only downside is that the hotel has no elevator, so we had to take the suitcases 4 flours up.
