    Everything was great for us, but those who are light sleepers should know that right next to the hotel there are many bars and cafes with outdoor seating, so it can be little noisy at night (that's why you get earplugs).

    Great location, hotel is very close to all attractions by foot, metro is only 3 minutes away (direct line to airport), market store is also around the corner. At first, street looks little bit like ghetto, however that's really not the case, it is perfectly safe and the street is very much alive all the time and has very casual, artistic vibe. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, they speak English perfectly. We had coffee machine in our room, with coffee and tee bags. We also got bottled water each day. There are slippers and earplugs for use as well. Everything was very clean. Bed was comfortable. We arrived early, left our bags in hotel and when we came back our bags were waiting for us in the room, which was really nice surprise. Breakfast was great, it was served on top floor till 11 (so you don't need to get up early). They have zero waste policy, so they don't prepare a lot of food in advance, but you won't be hungry, because they fill in all the time. You can also order few additional dishes (like omelettes) and they prepare it for you, those portions are big and tasty.

    Location is so central to everything. Hotel is everything you need for a short break. There are a couple of lively bars just outside the hotel which we loved but others may find intrusive. Staff are so friendly and accommodating.

    This boutique hotel is in an area very close to the main Plaka area in Athens, It is lively in the evenings mainly frequented by the younger set. We had read that it could be noisy at night but we didn't hear a thing. There is a nice bar next door with the cheapest drinks in Europe. Breakfast here was exceptional - we enjoyed chatting with Irini each morning and she made us scrambled eggs. Plenty of choices. Reception staff were lovely also and nothing was too much trouble.

    I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure all my needs were met. Especially Crystal from the reception was very helpful. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast (i highly recommend vasilia's delicious omlettes and salads) and the convenient location, which made exploring the city very easy.

    Because of the good location, the street can be noisy. The hotel anticipated already on this issue by providing earplugs in te room. However for me, the noise wasn’t really an issue. Slept right through it. But it could be a problem for difficult sleepers.

    Perfect location. Very friendly staff. They even ordered a take away breakfast for me, because I had to leave really early in the morning. The room had a very nice interior.

    Outside can be a bit noisy until early morning but that isn’t the hotels fault.

    Rooms are a bit noisy as the face a street with pubs. The washbasin is in the bedroom rather than in the toilet. That takes some getting used to.

    The location is great, very close to the train station from the airport. The staff were great, especially Crystal at the reception. Espresso is available in the room!

    I could be very picky and request more variety at breakfast, which was basic but adequate for our needs. Otherwise, I would recommend the hotel for a short stay.

    The hotel is very centrally located and very well presented being clean and spacious. I particularly liked to room which was uniquely decorated but very much in keeping with the neighbourhood. Situated in an eclectic part of the city, the hotel is very near to the nightlife which means it can be noisy. That said we did get a good nights sleep and weren't bothered by the bars and music outside. The hotel is also ideally located to see the sights of Athens with all places of significance within walking distance. Great place to stay for young couples. Staff were amazing, especially Crystal at reception who was very welcoming and looked after us well.

    Great location, near to Monastiraki subway, a supermarket and the main street of shopping. Our room was really clean, well equipped and with all the necessary amenities. Staff was nice, caring and helpful. The hotel is surrounded by lots of clubs which may be noisy at night but we managed to sleep well even though music was a little loud especially on Friday night. Breakfast services could be better organized ( both me and other guests had to ask for knives, forks etc....) but in any case food was good. Highly recommended!

    The breakfast had limited variety, but it was tasty. What really dissapointed us was the cleaning of the room. The cleaning crew emptied the trash bins, left clean towels and new amenities and nothing else. The toilet was not cleaned, they didn't even make the bed. We never had such experience in any other hotel.

    Excellent location, in the heart of Athens and very close to historical, cultural and entertainment options for day and night. Interesting aesthetics in the building and the rooms. The bed was extremely comfortable. We saw the reviews about the noise during the night from the bars, but we faced no problem whatsoever. Our room on the third floor was very soundproof.
