Excellent friendly check in. Staying for 24hrs however requested a late check out. Was offered to upgrade to lounge access to enhance stay and use after the check out time (11am) however it was cheaper to pay 50% of the daily rate to keep our room until 6pm. Reception staff VERY helpful. Room was excellent and despite renovation of 50% of the hotel we did not get disturbed at all. All the staff, reception, security, concierge , cleaners we found were friendly and calm and it felt like a very well run hotel.

Just returned from a week stay. We had a lovely, freshly remodeled room facing the Acropolis. The room was very comfortable and spacious. Cleaned daily and promptly. We enjoyed getting up for breakfast daily. We enjoyed the variety of fresh food daily. Coffee made to order, a favorite of ours.

Great breakfast. Awesome high end restaurant on top floor plus a good one on the main floor. Reasonably close to bus tour pickup point. Close to tram that takes you to central city. Bit of a walk to the metro but one can take the tram to the metro. Surrounding area is run down but felt safe walking through it.

Staff was helpful, room was clean though not spotless as we found out a lot of dust under when we moved our single beds further apart. The revolving desk chair could be better quality and with wheels. When I lifted the chair the seat just came off the stand. The room size and the overall layout of the room was great with separate seating area. The lobby had a great feel too with live music.

Excellent hotel in Athens

The room was very clean and we had a nice little living room area to hang out. It was hot when we were there and our room stayed very cool the entire time. the bathroom was a little outdated but everything else about this place was amazing. The most comfortable bed and the restaurant with the rooftop view of Acropolis was excellent. Anytime I go to Athens I will want to stay here!
