The location is excellent and within walking distance of main sites. It was great for 1 night. The staff was excellent and we were able to check-in early when we arrived. The price was great. The rooftop bar has an excellent view of the Acropolis. the down-side was the room was small and and the air conditioning unit would shut off after a while so the room was not cool when we returned after being in the hot sun.

We loved this property! It took us a little while to figure out the air conditioning, but we were on the sixth floor in August and did not get uncomfortable. The breakfast was amazing and the location was fantastic for everything we needed. We were able to walk everywhere.. A special shout out to the staff Eva-we were there to go on a cruise and she arranged a taxi to pick us up, which was very helpful. She also put our luggage in a room so that we could explore after we checked out and before our taxi picked us up. One of my friends also left his glasses at the rooftop restaurant the night before and they have been turned into lost and found, and were able to get them back to him. While this isn’t the fanciest hotel in Athens, it was very clean, the service was impeccable, and the location and food (both the restaurant and the free breakfast )were amazing.
