We liked that the location was near everything, with a bit of a walk to some places, and you can get anywhere. The breakfast was good. The place does need a few updates and repairs, and some rooms are laid out strangely for use. Staff are friendly. The view is wonderful.

Last minute booking and was very impressed with the visit. Very kind staff. Very clean property. The area was in a great location and very walkable. The only thing was that in my specific room the WiFi would go in and out but that did not impact my stay at all! Would stay here again.

Excellent location

The location is excellent, close to everything. The room is also very clean and bright. The air con works well - this is esp important in hot summer. But it's a bit pricy for a 3-star hotel.

Great price for this gem. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and so many choices to choose from. the view of the acropolis on their balcony was impressive. Hotel located in the perfect spot. Centralized area with restaurants within a block away. Within walking distance to all the areas we wanted to sightsee. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

The rooftop can't be beat

The rooftop view is just incredible!! Beautiful roof top. Location is great and easily accessible to walk out and explore, see the sites, grab public transportation. I only stayed one night and had to leave too early to grab breakfast. Might be the smallest hotel room I've ever stayed in, but hotel is nice and quiet/comfortable. Nice, clean bathroom - standup shower only in my room. I chose this hotel specifically for the rooftop and location. A perfect stunner for the last night of my time in Athens.

Highly recommended

Easy check-in. 2 lifts. View from 6th Floor balcony and roof terrace to the acropolis was amazing. Location was very central and felt very safe despite numerous side streets. Metro station 5 minutes walk. Surrounded by numerous friendly, fun restaurants catering for all budgets. Breakfast was more than adequate and staff kept the breakfast room very clean and well stocked.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Location was EXCELLENT. Acropolis, shopping, Plaka neighborhood, restaurants, train station all walking distance. Neighborhood was cool, nightlife everywhere, lots of unique shops. Must check out Karras Leather, a shop selling one of a kind handmade leather bags and goods. Antony is a true artist (just look for a small shop with amazing bags in window and hand drawn patterns hanging on the back wall). I would stay here again. The view of the Acropolis from our balcony was awesome!

Great hotel, prefect location.

Rated as 3 star but it is high end of it. Very nice and classy hotel, very clean. Front desk was very helpful. There was no coffee machine in the room but they provided a kettle. Roof top view at night is amazing. unfortunately we didn't get a room with a balcony. Plaka is walking distance and nice and safe to walk around around 10pm. Lots of eating area arouind this hotel. Roads are very narrow so taxi's may not able to come to the hotel all the time, but only small walk

Really great! Friendly service, we got complimentary bottles of wine for the reservation. Beautiful view from the balcony on the 7th floor. Rich, interesting neighborhood. If anything, I would’ve liked more variety in the breakfast. The rooms also don’t have too good sound insulation, so bring your earplugs!
