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.

Perfect location for an unbeatable price. Staff was very friendly, and the rooms were quite comfortable. The balcony is a nice touch, and the breakfast in the morning was welcome as well. For a few days in Athens I will definitely return. Many roof top bars nearby, easy walk to Plaka and Acropolis. We loved our stay here.

Great room, great location

The staff is very attentive and the room and hotel are beautiful. Right down the street from many dining options and easy to get around. They also offer a taxi service from the hotel, just be sure to verify all of your information with the driver to ensure accuracy.

The shower doesn’t have a door or shower curtain so water floods the bathroom during shower. Also the TV was very close to bed & bumped my head every time I walk to the bed. Besides that hotel was nice. Great location.

Loved the location for a quick tour around Athens core. Room was clean, shower didn’t drain very quick so water flooded the bathroom. The exit light in room one couldn’t be turned off so it was light in the room. Other than that enjoyed our stay, staff was very kind and breakfast was great. We also were able too store our luggage after checkout. We opted for transfer to the Airport which was pricy but convenient. Especially with all the luggage. Thank you.

I loved my stay here and would stay here again if I return to Athens. The room was super clean, and the linens were comfortable. The options for breakfast were healthy and balanced - not unlike many free hotel breakfasts I've tried. There is free coffee throughout the day and a nice reception area. Hotel is conveniently located a 5 min walk from Monasteraki station, and there are many options for food, shopping and coffee shops around. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Just to note, the sink is outside the bathroom and in the room. There was limited space to put down toiletries. Inside the bathroom, the water from the shower would come out and leave the floor wet. The AC didn't go below 19C, if you're someone who likes to sleep cold. There was a bit of noise that came in from the street into my room, but they provided earplugs, and also I would say the noise dimmed down after like 11 pm (I was there in November, so maybe this is a bigger problem in the summer).
