I liked every thing about this property great location walking distance to shopping and cafes and restaurants. The room was very clean and had a king size comfortable bed and had a balcony with a nice view. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful.
It's a small hotel but excellent staff, is clean, convenient, near metro station. The hotel provided breakfast and restaurant at rooftop is amazing, you can watch the sunset and have an amazing view to the Acropolis
Hotel is clean and staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. We can even see a smile on the security staff face. Roof top terrace restaurant definitely a plus to our experience!
Location good to walk to sites and museum. Lots of graffiti! Arrived on Sunday and there were just a few things open. Staff was exceptional and the cafe had great food!!
Area is a bit rundown.
Staff were helpful in arranging for cab service.
Breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great budget hotel, awesome view from the roof top restaurant. The staff are very friendly. One of the best breakfast spread I have seen. The neighbourhood 1 star.
The property was located a short walk from Omonioa Square which is where the trains and buses are. Taxi service easy to find or the Concierge was happy to make any reservations for you. The friendly staff was 24/7 with a security officer who greeted you at the building. The hotel had a great breakfast buffet in the morning, so many hot and cold choices, sweets and many fresh juices! The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was a little small but functional. The roof top bar offered a nice indoor or outdoor dining/bar option with a really nice view of the Acropolis!! I would stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities
They should lift changing,very old fashioned and the room is very small ,we can’t move with my daughter even though we put our storoller outside .
We stayed here for a weekend trip (family with 2 adults / 2 kids). Location was close enough to walk to Acropolis and other sites (there is a metro station nearby but we preferred to walk). Breakfast was also delicious. Staff friendly and helpful. We could leave our bags after checkout until the flight time which was helpful. Hotel was going through renovation in some floors, with some noise early in the morning, but we just noted after waking up.
Price was reasonable considering a room for 4.
We only used the hotel to sleep, so can't comment on other items.
Overall, great hotel, would certainly stay again.
Great hotel, very friendly staff, excellent breakfast, clean, nice atmosphere, very good location (very close to the center and in quiet aera),
Big thanks to Vasilis for support and friendly advises.
The hotel was good overall. I stayed on the first floor and from here you could hear noise from the street - those hoping for a quiet night should probably ask to stay on a higher floor.
The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. The neighborhood has cleaned up nicely. I felt comfortable. Close to shopping. Would stay again.
