The staff at the hotel are amazing! Very helpful and very kind. Nothing is too much effort. The rooms and hotel itself are spotless! We had a free upgrade, which was very appreciated on arrival. The hotel is above a really popular local restaurant. It's within easy walking distance of two metro stations. We're very happy we booked the hotel and would stay again.

The hotel was great, staff at front desk were amazing and friendly. Night time on foot in the area was a little scary but once inside all safe and cozy. I’m sure that will change since the neighborhood is under remodeling I hear. We would stay again. Again the people at front desk top tier. I would hire them for my hotel if I could.

The service we received at the hotel is amazing. Nothing to say about that or the cleanliness. They are quick to answer and help if needed. The only bemol would be that the insulation is not great so you hear a lot of the outside noises. You should definitely take the time to visit the hotel rooftop. The view of the Acropolis is impressive!

The roo. Was very clean a d modern with a large window that opened. Lobby was quite nicely dedorated and the rooftop patio view of the acropolis was a highlight. I dont think i would stay in this exact area area as it was quite gritty but nicer more manicured areas were nearby. Hotel was great, area less so.
