I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the rooms; they were clean, and the air conditioning was running at full capacity—something rare in many hotels these days. There was ample parking for guests, and the breakfast offered a wide variety of well-prepared options.

Came in for the Athens Film Festival. It was centrally located to all kinds of great bars, restaurants and venues. A little aggravated that they charged for parking... there were lots of spaces and we put a notice on our dashboard, so they knew we were guests. The rooms were clean, great AC and showers... Was very quiet. Excellent coffee available throughout, as well. I'd definitely stay there again if/when I'm back in Athens.

Clean, conveniently located, and safe. I was in town for a show at the 40 Watt Club and I cannot recommend this hotel enough if you are looking for something close to the city and local entertainment. The show venue was about a five-minute walk from the hotel, and several fantastic restaurants and bars just beyond. Highly recommend!

The rooms and bathrooms were very clean the staff at the front desk as well as the breakfast attendant. We’re very nice and helpful. The food choices were good and hot and they had a great variety. The beds and the pillows in the rooms were great and the air-conditioning works great I have no complaints $10 for parking is not bad when they have security. Definitely would stay here again.
