Liked that the receptionist prepared a box breakfast. Did not like the evening music coming from the outside bars, but the hotel provided ear plugs which definitely helped.

Very nice hotel in the heart of Athens, close to the shopping areas and 10 minutes walk from the Acropolis. The staff are very friendly. Crystal marked out all the key places to visit on a map, giving us various tips and also ensured we would have breakfast boxes on the days we would be leaving early on tours. The rooms are a decent size with modern fittings.

Absolutely the best time at the fountain. The hostesses were absolutely amazing and sent us to wonderful places. People said it’s noisy but to my self and my husband it was just fine with the window closed even on the weekend. We stayed a total of 7 days at the fountain and everyday was an adventure.

A great basic place to stay at, ver close to a metro station. This is why I chose it. The lay out of the rooms are a bit strange, but the staff and the service is stellar. They gave me a different vacant room to sleep in when the AC in my room broke down. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. I would stay there again due to the convenient location and would tolerate the night life noise that at least in my room was not too bad and I could sleep. I did not even use the earplugs they provided. The insulation is quite good
