Kind and helpful staff. Easy to walk to central area. It takes about 25-35mins. Close to a hop on- hop off bus stop, so you can use that instead of walking as well

I had a wonderful experience during my stay. The staff was excellent — incredibly helpful, kind, and always ready to assist. They went above and beyond to make my visit comfortable and enjoyable. I especially appreciated their support in helping me navigate through Athens, offering guidance and recommendations that made a big difference. Thank you for the outstanding service!

Liked: Staff & service
The good: decent clean property with a few standard amenities. Staff is friendly and the shower had great water pressure. The bad: unsafe area. We saw multiple prostitution and hard drug usage just 2-3 blocks away from the property on our walk back to the hotel. Also, the mattresses provided no support and hardly any padding with several spring bumps on the surface.

Das Hotel liegt in keiner hübschen Gegend, aber ist dennoch gut gelegen. Man kann vieles zu Fuß erreichen, zB die ganzen historischen Stätten wie die Akropolis. Auch Öffis, coffeeshops, Bäckerein, Restaurants, etc. befinden sich in Gehdistanz. Mein (Einzel)zimmer war recht klein aber sauber und das Bett war bequem. Das Bad war total ok. Was mich schon gestört hat, was, dass es beim Bett keine Steckdose gab. Alles in allem, hat es gepasst. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist voll OK.

Struttura con tutti i confort, camere moderne e ben distribuite, peccato per la zona che non è proprio delle migliori, ma in 10 minuti a piedi si arriva in pieno centro! La pulizia andrebbe potenziata e migliorata un po’, ma nel complesso buona anche quella

Wir waren insgesamt zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer sowie die Unterkunft allgemein waren sauber und ordentlich. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung, könnte aber etwas abwechslungsreicher und qualitativ besser sein. Wir hatten ein Promo-Zimmer gebucht. Es war in Ordnung, allerdings wäre mehr Tageslicht schön gewesen – baulich ist das jedoch vermutlich nicht anders möglich. Insgesamt ein guter Aufenthalt mit kleineren Abstrichen.
