The property itself was beautiful. The rooftop restaurant and bar are worth every penny you spend to stay here. The staff at the restaurant and bar were kind and friendly. The rooms are beautiful and the pool is amazing. It is so close to everything and easy to walk to many different attractions. However, the front desk staff had no interest in serving us. During check-in and when our key stopped working, we were spoken down to. We work very hard to be good citizens of the world and be gracious to all in every country that we visit because we are visitors in their home. I felt like we were unwelcome at checkin and reprimanded when our key stopped working.

Not sure how this is a 5 star hotel. Good location to Acropolis. Roof top restaurant had a nice view and was open air. Hotel may have been nice 50 years ago, but it wasn't what we expected. Two twin beds pushed together to make a king bed. No AC. It was 93 degrees outside. The walls were dirty. The toilet seat was loose. No shower curtain and no fan in bathroom. It turned it into a sauna. The shower water fluctuated between hot to cold. The tv is a 25" from 20 years ago. Super small from sitting on the bed. The bathroom door was hard to close. Front desk staff were blunt and not friendly. Restaurant didn't have any low cost items. It all just felt old, dated and not taken care of. The reason for my low review is I don't believe this to even be close to a 5 star hotel. Maybe 3 star. But if they called it 3 star, we wouldn't have booked it. Hmmm

The hotel built long ago and for 5 star it should be renovate, the furniture are very faded colour. The public area is nice, it seems weird to pay for cappuccino at breakfast. The bed was very comfort. So it is fine hotel but for 5 star someone has to invest for quiet total room renovation.

We had a lovely stay here and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast buffet and view from the rooftop restaurant were great and it was very easy to get to points of interest and transport options. Our only comment would be that the hotel sells itself as having a pool, but the pool and access to the surrounding terrace are only available seasonally! Access to both starts in May so if this is part of your reason to book this hotel, double check it will actually be available!

This is a lovely hotel right in the centre of Athens. The decor is very traditional full of marble and wood you would expect to see in a historical Greek hotel. The facilities were ok. The breakfast was a bit ropey towards the end of the sitting, being cold and little left. The to in the room was from the 1990’s with little to no signal.
