Comfortable room with a good bed. We found the lighting a little dim. Excellent roof top restaurant...super views of the Acropolis. Staff was attentive and efficient. Couldnt ask for a better location regarding dining options. The walls seemed a litrle thin in the room, could hear all kinda of things. To be expected in an older property Overall, enjoyed the stay.
