This classy hotel is gorgeous - and just steps away from the main tourist spots in the city center of Athens. It’s also an ideal choice if you’re running the Athens Marathon, just about a half-mile walk from the Olympic stadium at the finish line.

The hotel was clean and staff was attentive. The location is perfect if you like to walk everywhere. The hotel has great views however the entire facility is outdated. The bar was a big letdown, it was hot in there and service was nonexistent. Was not expecting a $105.57 charge at checkout for lodging or $15.19 single premium internet service - I would prefer having these costs added to the total price and not a surprise to me.

While the lobby appears very grand, the rooms are disappointing and lack amenities (tv few channels were snowy etc) mini bar needs a clean are organised better. The rooftop garden area is stunning, with fantastic views of Athens. However breakfast ‘hot’ options were cold and lacking. But the most disappointing was the service from staff. With perhaps the exception of a few the treatment and hospitality of staff fell far short of decent especially those working the rooftop bar in the evening

Not 5* as advertised - my room was pretty dated, hole in the ceiling, big brown stain on the floor, reception staff also a little rude when checking in to be completely honest. Didn’t tell me about the facilities just my room number and so I had to ask and they got a little impatient with me and I actually didn’t visit the gym because I didn’t know where it was and didn’t want to ask again! However the bar, the view from the bar, food and foyer were all lovely, which was kind of the reason we booked it. Breakfast also really nice.

Old hotel, not matching for younger generations, reasons why ; too dark inside room, no enough power outlets (can not charge mobile beside beds, just available under desk far from beds), elevators are so slow, that's why breakfast restaurants are mess.

The best thing about the hotel was the location. We paid extra for a room that overlooked the Temple of Zeus (you could just see the acropolis if you moved the curtain). It was very convenient as the Hop On, Hop Off buses stopped 50 m away and the busses/trams from Sp stopped right outside.

Wow, this hotel is incredible! It’s absolutely beautiful, and I truly wish I could have stayed longer. The pool is stunning, the amenities are top-notch, and the room was incredibly spacious. Best of all, we had an unforgettable view of the Parthenon and the Temple of Zeus right from our balcony. The front desk attendant who checked us in seemed to be having a rough day, and the rooftop restaurant felt a bit overpriced and pretentious — especially when we were told we couldn’t get a coffee to go and had to sit down to drink it. But aside from that, everything else was wonderful. The hotel is centrally located, easily walkable to all the main sights, and overall, a fantastic place to stay.
