Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spotless, a bit on the small side, but still very comfortable. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and the scrambled eggs were amazing. The hotel's rooftop restaurant and bar with views of the Parthenon were stylish and added to the experience.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were lovely and cool after busy sightseeing days, the shower room felt luxurious, and the bed was incredibly comfy. However, I wish the restaurant downstairs stayed open later. Overall, a modern and spacious room with a super comfortable bed and a gorgeous bathroom. It was a bit dimly lit at times.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy with a modern feel, featuring a spacious balcony which was perfect for a quick smoke. The large bathroom and comfortable bed made it a quiet and relaxing environment. The service was top-notch, with attentive and helpful staff making sure we felt right at home. The location was ideal, just a stone's throw away from major attractions like the Acropolis and Hadrian's Arch. Dining at the rooftop restaurant with a stunning view of the Acropolis was a highlight, offering delicious and beautifully presented meals. The facilities were excellent, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
I felt very welcomed and cared for during my stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy, but the noise from the street was a bit of a drawback. The location is perfect for exploring key attractions, but there were some minor inconveniences with access. Service was exceptional, and the dining experience was delightful, although with limited choices. Overall, a good value for money option with a few hiccups.

My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience.

I couldn't be happier with this hotel! The rooms were quiet, had a nice balcony, and I could even sleep with the french doors wide open. It's a shame there were no tea or coffee-making facilities in the small kitchenette space; however, the tranquility made up for it. The service was top-notch, with the staff arranging a wonderful tour for us and being incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location is unbeatable, just a stone's throw away from the Acropolis and Plaka, making sightseeing a breeze.
