Good location but better options nearby

Comfortable bed - quiet room considering it faced the busy street on the 2nd floor. Room felt quite dark though, and a bit oppressive. Breakfast was ok - food was average for a five star hotel. Front of house staff were friendly and helpful, waiters less so, without smiles

Amazing staff - fantastic stay!

My wife and I stayed here and we absolutely loved it. We were greeted immediately upon arrival (the second we stepped out of our cab, before the bags were pulled out of the vehicle). Staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and informative. Would highly recommend staying here. One note: there were elements of the room that were clearly a bit worn (some scrapes and dings on furniture, etc). This didn’t really bother us, because the room was still super clean and really nice.

Lovely, tasteful, clean, modern, and small. We only enjoyed breakfast on the roof and it was great. The location is perfect. Couldn’t imagine better. Only weird thing is going up a small flight of stairs to get to the elevator to the room.

Not For Non Active Guests

This Hotel is completely inaccessibility to facilities for people that require a cane. You have to walk up stairs to get to the elevator to your room. The main restaurant is only accessible to take the elevator to the 6th floor by walking up about 20 steep winding floors. My poor husband had to stay in the room and get food delivered. If you are mobility challenged, this hotel is impossibl.

The service at this Hotel was above and beyond from first contact until we left. They arranged our pick up from the airport to the Hotel but what made it top level service was while we were in the car they called the driver to make sure we had been picked up. Every interaction was above normal level of service and made us feel like the only guest at the hotel/VIP's. When I go back to Athens this hotel will be my first choice.
