Staff person who greeted us (Celia?) had great suggestions for restaurants and went above and beyond making us feel welcome. She even gave us a complimentary bottle of wine when I asked about nearby wine stores. Room was small but well appointed and comforting.

This was a clean , well located property. The staff was great! They were aware that we were arriving early in the day and they had our room ready when we arrived. The room was clean and comfortable. We could walk to many of the sights in Athens. The continental breakfast was great. I loved having freshly squeezed orange juice in the am. We very much enjoyed our 3 night stay there.

Really nicely decorated hotel and very clean. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Our room had 4 little balcony and was the cutest room. Breakfast buffet is smaller but nice to have a quick bite before going out. The streets do get a bit louder until 2 am but they provide air plugs, it is quieter compare to the Main Street. Very walkable as well.

The property was clean and beautiful. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, even for the smallest of requests like holding on to my luggage before moving on to the next town, after I had checked out the following day. This was a very confortable stay in a very convenient, walkable location in Monestikari.
