Breakfast!
This was our return leg to Athens on our long 23 day trip through Greece. We spent 4 nights at this hotel which is conveniently located in central Athens near all of the sites you would wish to see historically, and all the local shopping your heart desires. The parking was beneath the hotel and was easy to use and navigate to with our Apple GPS. Even if you need to leave earlier than the parking opens, you can retrieve your key from the front desk, and they will let you in to acquire the vehicle. The staff is nice and helpful with luggage and local amenities. In this location, I would highly recommend getting lost and simply finding your way back. You are surrounded by historical sites on two of the three sides of the hotel if you simply keep walking, and the local food just a few hundred meters from the hotel makes it easy to locate on the way back. Because you are in Athens, you have many food genres to choose from. Whatever your heart desires, is simply a walk away. This is definitely a location where you park the car and leave it in the garage unless you need to drive somewhere out of the city. But, whatever you do, DO NOT SKIP breakfast. The rooftop breakfast offers and amazing view of the Acropolis which can also been seen from their 4th floor outdoor pool, but the food items, I would suggest, would allow anyone to eat no matter what they preferred for the morning delights.

Centrally Located Perfection
This hotel was our first stop on our honeymoon in Greece, and it didn't disappoint. The room was clean and ready for use without any issues at check-in. Room service was easy to coordinate for breakfast on the day that we did not attend the rooftop breakfast, which I would never recommend to miss. The breakfast was tasty with a wide variety of local cuisine items for anyone to enjoy. The morning coffee was made to order and their range of other beverages for breakfast was complimentary to the food being served. This hotel is centrally located in Athens near the Parthenon and Plaka for shopping down Ermou street. Hundreds of local eateries in the are nearby within walking distance and there was no need to drive once we were on-site. We only spent two nights here, but this hotel from start to finish supplied us with everything we needed for our short stay.

The property was in a convenient area to many attractions. It overlooked the Acropolis and the roof top restaurant had a great view.The gym and spa area were very small.
