I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a bit small, but nothing too critical. The constant noise from engines in all interior rooms and lack of view affected my sleep quality, although the glass-faced school creating loud noise from a party was not an issue. The staff provided allergen-free food for breakfast, which was a nice touch, but not all were diligent in assisting us. The location was convenient, with easy access to major tourist areas and a great view from the rooftop bar/restaurant. The dining options offered a good variety and tasted nice, especially with the view of the Acropolis. Overall, it was an okay stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is ideally located for those visiting Acropolis, making it easy to walk to all the main sites of interest. The rooms, while a bit small and overlooking a busy road, were adequate. The service was friendly and helpful, though not very diligent at times. Dining was a mix of standard and excellent options. The overall convenience of the location was a highlight, especially the breathtaking rooftop garden with a close-up view of the Acropolis.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean but smaller than expected for a Superior/Deluxe category. The noise from above was a bit disruptive late at night. On the bright side, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Katrina. The location was unbeatable, close to major tourist attractions like the Acropolis, and the dining options were good, though not outstanding.

The hotel offers a unique experience with rooms featuring large balconies offering captivating views of an old European church. However, the layout with the toilet close to the sleeping area may not suit business travelers seeking privacy. The location stands out as a prime advantage, being within walking distance of major attractions and amenities in the city center.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were on the smaller side but featured very large beds, and my room was very clean with a comfortable bed and good air conditioning, plus a lovely view of the Acropolis. However, the room size was a bit cramped for my liking. The service was a mixed bag with friendly staff but some issues with the facilities. The location was excellent, near everything and just a metro stop away from the Acropolis, though the room felt a little tight for a view of the Acropolis. The dining options were fair, with a good choice of food but ending a bit early. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room had a view to the Acropolis which made it really nice at night and in the morning, with a balcony and a good view to the Parthenon. The location is perfect for walking to all the sites and enabled us to walk to the majority of major city attractions. The dining experience was excellent with a great variety of different types of hot and cold foods. The staff, while speaking English well, were very pleasant to interact with. However, there were some issues with the service in the rooftop bar as some staff members were standing around behind the bar talking instead of serving. Overall, it's a great place to stay with a few minor drawbacks.

However, the sound system in the hallway was a bit of a bother at times. The service was top-notch with the staff being incredibly helpful and welcoming.
