My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean, faced the backyard and were small and uncomfortable. On the bright side, they were very clean. The service varied from rude and abrupt to extremely helpful when I had an issue. The location, despite not being in the best area, was convenient for accessing Athens' main sites. The dining options were basic but surprisingly ample. The facilities were decent, but there were some drawbacks to consider.

The hotel is a great place to lay your head and have a base to explore Athens, a fantastic city. However, with only 18 front windows out of 41 rooms, the views are limited, and the basic breakfast of cheese, ham, bread, and cold coffee and tea could use improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were nicely decorated, comfortable, and very clean upon initial inspection, but I was disappointed to find stains and rips on the sheets and dust under the bed. The breakfast provided was basic, and the new addition of 40 rooms sympathetically connected to the hotel was appreciated.

The hotel is a great place to lay your head and have a base to explore Athens, which is a fantastic city. The staff are friendly and happy to help, but the breakfast is really basic, consisting of cheese, ham, bread, and cold coffee and tea, which let it down. The rooms have limited front windows, some overlooking the building on either side or open to the hotel's interior. Overall, it's a mix of positives and negatives to consider.

The hotel's location was very convenient, close to the metro and within walking distance to key sites like the Acropolis. The rooms, though modern and clean, were positioned at an unusual angle due to limited space. The service was friendly and accommodating, even in a noisy neighborhood.

My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms were nicely decorated, comfortable, and very clean, but some faced the backyard or had no windows with ventilation issues. The service was a mixed bag - they looked for us every evening, but were reluctant to resolve room issues quickly. The location had its positives with proximity to various attractions, but safety concerns at night were worrying. Dining options were a hit or miss, with basic offerings and cold coffee. The facilities were satisfactory, but nothing exceptional.

This hotel in the center of Athens is a great place to lay your head and have a base from which to explore the fantastic city.
