We loved the old-fashioned room decor and the convenience of near all tourist attractions. The Fresco room was spacious, and the hot tub at the balcony (bring bathing suit) was a plus after hours of long walks.

The entrance is through the restaurant, makes it feel a bit less safe and we had some trouble figuring this out. Checkin/checkout otherwise was easy and straight forward. We had a great stay - the room was amazing, quite big for europe with high ceilings, they could have probably made the bathroom bigger by even just 1 foot on each side, would make a huge difference. Pretty weird though that I was asked for a deposit for the room (or write down a CC number) - haven't been asked this anywhere else.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
great location: easy to walk to basically everything you need to see in Athens in minutes. Plenty of restaurants and shops immediately around. the room was fantastic and very large w/a slightly separate sitting area, and was very clean (im picky). I also booked the room w/the outdoor hot tubon the balcony which was really great and relaxing after walking very day for weeks! also not that if you book a room w/breakfast included, the restaurant doesn't open until 8am,so if you have an early flight like it did you wont be able to take advantage of that. Staff was helpful and accommodating, however the check-in desk was located inside the restaurant, which was unusual but the staff helped direct me when they saw me coming w/my bags ... Also helpful, was that there was a small pull-off/parking area in front for taxis/vehicles (this is VERY handy when getting dropped off/picked up), since many hotels in Athens dont have this .. I would definitely stay again!

This hotel is really well located but it is worth noting the hotel spa/pool can only be used for 30 minutes a day which must be pre-requested. The breakfast comes at an additional charge which isn’t explicitly clear in the listing. Don’t get excited about your free drink on arrival as it’s only a bottle of water. Most of the staff are really friendly and the staff in the restaurant they share an entrance with are really welcoming as well.

The location of the hotel is perfect for any attractions you may want to see. Plenty of food options available in the area. Staff was friendly and the room was clean. The bathroom is not ideal for getting ready. Lighting was poor and no real place to put your toiletries or clothing. Hotel would be fine for shorts visits. The air conditioning worked, but was difficult to use.

Good hotel with spa in Athens

The hotel location is very convenient, walking distance to major touriusty things to do. The spa is wow! I just wish the time slots were one hour rather than half hour. Our room was surprisingly quiet. Comfortable bed. Also, the restaurant is very good with kind and caring stuff. Next time in Athens we will stay there again
