Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers large rooms with a big balcony and a very clean environment. However, the hotel seems very dated, especially the carpet, small lift, and location slightly on the wrong side of town.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although a bit dated with the need for new carpets. Despite the air conditioning working all night, I had a good night's rest in the large, cozy bed. The location was superb, within walking distance of many attractions in central Athens, although the exterior gave off a slightly sketchy vibe. The service was exceptional, with every staff member being attentive, friendly, and helpful. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a lack of fruit selection and a not-so-great neighborhood but delicious meals provided. Overall, it was a good stay with some room for improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with plenty of storage, a seating area, and a well-equipped mini-bar, but unfortunately, there was a persistent smell of smoke. The service was pleasant and professional, although we had to wait a bit at check-in. The location turned out to be a pleasant surprise, with nice local bars and restaurants on the street, even though it wasn't exactly what I had expected. The dining experience was average, with tasty dishes made from local ingredients but with room for improvement to match a 4-star hotel. Overall, a comfortable hotel with some minor drawbacks.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with beautiful views of the Acropolis and a lovely garden roof. The room was clean and comfortable, although it seemed like it needed a bit more attention to detail in terms of cleaning. The location was just perfect, close to the Acropolis but away from the tourist crowds. The dining experience was good overall, but it could use some improvement in providing fresher juices and coffee.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although I did notice some dust on top of the fridge and dirt on the carpet. The service was responsive and friendly, but I was directed to a small area in the restaurant. The location, though a bit challenging to reach with public transport, was safe and relatively quiet. The dining experience was average, with some fresh bread but lacking imagination in the menu. The facilities were suitable for my needs during the stay.
The hotel offers basic rooms that are good value for money. The room was a good size with amenities like a kettle, cups, glasses, hairdryer, safe deposit box, phone, TV, and a large comfy double bed. However, the room was too hot and had some worn elements, like the carpet and chair covers. The location is near Verona but appears a bit shabby in certain areas.
