Buffet breakfast on terrace is top-notch. Area close by many restaurants, mini-mart, bus, and of course fantastic location -- the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Executive rooms are very narrow - shower for first time stay room was not wide enough for an adult to stand facing the shower head, meant shower curtain clung to one's skin during showers. Acropolis view corner room meanwhile - spacious and palatial, with jetted tub and large enough shower to properly stand in :), though shower drained more slowly than prior exec room one. Night views of Acropolis were of course fantastic! (For all rooms, one could not control the AC, though it was never unpleasant had not seen that before in larger hotels. This is an older more historic building so AC may be byproduct of age.) Advice: Definitely get a larger view room as the upgrade is worth it! Staff helped us book Delphi tour next door, and obtain laundry service by kilo and not piece, which was fantastic.

The food was good, but the hotel had only two very small elevators, each fitting just two people with one piece of luggage. Although I had already paid for the stay when I booked online, I was surprised to be charged an additional €15 tax upon checking out. I mentioned that this should have been included in the booking charges, but the lady at the counter, in a rather cold tone, simply said it was part of hotel policy. Because of this experience, I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this hotel to others. I

My only issue with the property was the rooftop bar only had one server and the bartender was not allowed to serve customers. His primary job was to be a service bartender so when the hotel was full on the weekend and every table was full. Everyone waited it 30 to 40 minutes for a drink. The manager's excuse was there's a system issue. The only system at issue was his of failure to staff the area adequately but didn't want to admit it. It was very obvious to everyone there. But all the servers were very friendly and did try to make up for it the best they could.
