Hotel boasts an unbeatable location, putting you right in the heart of Athens and within walking distance of all the must-see attractions. You'll find plenty of dining options just steps from the hotel. The air conditioning was excellent, offering a cool, refreshing retreat after a day of exploring the city. However, the true highlight of this hotel is the rooftop bar. With amazing views of the Acropolis, it's the perfect spot for a memorable, Instagram-worthy photo.

Pros: Very clean and well maintained, good breakfast, breakfast crew were nice. Very nice rooftop bar overlooking the city. Cons: The majority of the staff were not friendly! except for one man at the desk and one older women. I heard a female front desk staff say "stupid tourists"! In Greek! No pool or hot tub. The rooms are small. The surrounding area is scary. An enormous amount of grafiti on the buildings. This made us feel very unsafe. A block away we were told is the worst section of the city!

Clean, but very dated. Old carpet, comforters, furniture, and bathrooms. Could use some updates. Decent breakfast, and only one friendly employee. The front office young lady that checked us in was very unfriendly. And she never made eye contact the rest of our stay.

I'll lead with the fact that the location is amazing. Top notch shopping for all your tourist needs. It's located right in the heart of the beautiful Plaka old town shopping district and completely walkable to a myriad of shopping and dining options. The staff, for the most part, were very friendly and helpful. Not so helpful was the one gentleman manning the front desk when we came in who so helpfully showed us the luggage storage closet and then reminded us to schlep it ourselves. We were exhausted, and I was wrangling my 70 year old disabled mother along with our luggage by myself. He never cracked a smile or made us feel welcome in any way. The ladies, on the other hand, were excellent. Explaining the amenities, helping with questions about the neighborhood, and even checking on guests each morning at breakfast to see how we were doing and if we were satisfied. The rooftop patio is everything you wanted a Our room was clean and more than adequate for our needs. The rooftop patio is everything you could hope for in regards to view! Wow, gorgeous. The food on site is very good, if expensive. WARNING: if you're on the 6th floor like we were, get ready for a very long, late night of listening to metal chairs scarping across the floor of the rooftop terrace above you. It's open until midnight, officially, but the loud scraping last for a while longer even than that as staff clean up after stragglers.
