Great staff and the breakfast is good. This is a clean and modern boutique hotel. You are 3 blocks from the Metro station and 4 stops to the central square in Athens. This is a neighborhood so the only knock is there are no real restaurants. Coffee shops yes, but for dinner you need to travel outside of the neighborhood. Recommend as you are touring include your main meal before you come back to the hotel. This is a clean quiet place. They held my luggage for free as I took a 3 day trip to see more of Greece. They are very gracious and friendly. Highly recommend this hotel as a base of adventure.
