greek yogurt bowl prime location major sights musty ac carpeted bedroom mediocre breakfast
The breakfast here was superb. I especially enjoyed the greek yogurt bowl with pistachios and fruit. The location is also prime. It is steps away from major sights.
The ac smelled musty. The carpeted bedroom felt underwhelming.

the staff at the front desk were very helpful and friendly. our room, a classic double room, was quite spacious and clean. the hotel's location near the acropolis entrance was ideal for early morning visits.

WOW, what a LOCATION!
delicious breakfast upper view
the BREAKFAST was very nice and fresh. The staff was amazing. When we arrived, after a long trip late in the evening, a refreshing drink and snack were immediately provided. Included breakfasts were delicious from a varied menu. The view to the acropolis from the upper dining area WAS beautiful.
the bedrooms was very underwhelming for the price. Carpeted bedrooms are not great for a '5 star hotel'. AC smelled musty.

The front desk staff provided useful walking route tips and maps. Breakfast service impressed. The staff accommodated requests, and the menu featured many options. I enjoyed the Acropolis view during breakfast. The hotel stored my luggage upon early arrival and offered a welcome drink and snack. This was appreciated.
The bedroom carpeting seemed out of place for a hotel of this class.
