    We had a room in the basement so no windows, I had booked this by mistake. The room was large, amazingly dark and the aircon made it so cool, I liked the room. The location is amazing and the area is completely pedestrian. We enjoyed our stay.

    The rooms could be kept cleaner and the breakfast could be refilled more regularly during service hours. The TV would also not connect to the internet which was annoying but apart from that it was great. Would definitely stay again!

    The property is in a great location and all the staff are wonderful.

    Bathroom: * I'm pretty sure there was mold in the shower area * Something seemed wrong with the toilet. It sometimes smelled very strongly of urine, I haven't seen such a thing before. I think there might be a small leak or something. I could see the silicone sealant had been destroyed for a long time already * The lock on the door works poorly and if you don't know the trick to opening it (push against it) then you might get stuck there * the shower doors did not close properly Bedroom: * The linen we were given had multiple holes in it Balcony: * Glass was cracked, but that's a small nitpick

    Amazing location. Good looking hotel. Good breakfast. There was a lot wrong with our stay but I'm being extremely generous with the 8/10 rating because I can give up a lot of things for a hotel that is in a beautiful part of town. All the other places I looked at were at ugly places, but I absolutely loved walking around the hotel area, enjoying the view from the balcony and I felt safe. If it was any other hotel, I would give it a 5/10 rating at best because of all the problems. Which is a real shame, because the hotel absolutely has the potential to be 10/10

    Perfect location in Athens…

    We had an issue with the A/C in our room as there wasn’t a remote control, and the reception didn’t have a spare…it ended up being freezing in the night but we found some blankets on the wardrobe so it wasn’t too much of an issue.

    We love this area and would rate it as one of the best locations in Athens. Overlooking the Acropolis, just set back from the crazy busy tourist trail. Clean room and super helpful staff who on realising that we were four adults, changed our quad room to two doubles which we didn’t ask for or expect. Excellent breakfast too! We chose this hotel having stayed on the area before and it’s literally steps away from cine Thissio, one of the best outdoor cinemas in Athens.

    With balconies facing main street it could be difficult to sleep, people stay outside till late. Soundproofing the balcony door could help, I think. Check-out at 12 was very welcome and the breakfast was also great with variety of foods and drinks, even lactose free milk :-)

    The hotel is centraly located, perfect for going out to explore Athens. I liked the kettle and the opportunity to make some hot drinks. I appreciate the service provided by the lady receptionist in the evening who was friendly and helpful, my room got an upgrade so I had a wonderful view, balcony is perfect to watch sunrise.

    There were persistent issues with the WiFi. And the safe in the room wasn't operable -- more of a token safe...

    A very convenient location in the heart of the historical city. Clean, comfortable, decent size room with good a/c. Lots of bars and restaurants in the vicinity. Pleasant staff.

    Small rooms but excellent location, friendly staff and great breakfast
    • Leisure trip

    The room was a bit cramped for three people and there was not a lot of room for suitcases. The TV was mounted fairly low on the wall and close to the end of the bed so you had to be careful not to hit it with your shoulder. Some hotels nearby have a rooftop bar and unfortunately this one does not have a bar or even a sitting area up top despite the nice views afforded from that part of the building, which is a shame.

    The location of this solid three star hotel cannot be beaten. A few minutes' walk from Thissio station, which is no issue even with luggage. It's in a pedestrian area so feels safe and it's quiet in the evening even with people dining streetside as is common everywhere in Athens. Very close to the flea market and central area of Athens; you can walk to all of the major tourist attractions without any issue. Good wifi andgreat breakfast with lots of choice, with some Greek options such as pastries. Free luggage storage and the staff are very friendly. An easy walk to the Acropolis, only 10 minutes' walk up the pedestrian street. Monk Hill is nearby the Acropolis entrance (turn right instead of left as you approach after leaving the hotel) and it's a fabulous place to watch the sun set over Athens and the Acropolis Hill ruins.

    Smoking permitted on balconies which then drifts into other non-smokers rooms.

    In the shadow of the Acropolis on the pleasant cafe strip. Seamless check in, spotless, tastefully decorated room. More than adequate breakfast.

    Beds were very hard. Toilets difficult to get up off if you are tall or have problems w legs, hips or knees

    Loved the staff, particularly Grace at reception, who helped us immensely. And always had a big smile. The rooms were scrupulously clean, ours had a lovely view of the Acropolis,. The location is ideal, next to the Acropolis and across the pedestrian street from the park at the base of the Acropolis and the temple of Hephaestus.
