Reviews

The location The triple room underground is not convenient at all, the pictures doesn’t show the reality of the room, very limited space
-
The staff was good even changed the room for us
-
It was right by the Acropolis and 2 minutes from the Acropoli Metro stop and a coffee shop and place to buy water. I loved the rooftop bar with a view of the Acropolis! It had an elevator. The air conditioner was right above the bed.

Location is great, just at the center of everything and walking distance, very close to the subway and Acropolis also. Just at the entrence street of Plaka, famous tourist area with lost of restaurants and shopping stores. This place is more like a hostel than a hotel. Room was extremely small, one bed barely fits in the room, you can hardly walk inside. Bed was not comfortable. Bathroom is so small you can't bend down and wash your face. Old hotel, needs a total renovation. No TV, no hair dryer. No remote control for air conditioner, we asked from a receptionist and it took a long time to find a working one for us. Worst "hotel" I have ever stayed my entire life. I stayed at much much better places for about 30% cheaper. I have visited Athen/Greece many times for business also and stayed at much better hotels with better prices, so just want to inform here that there are many much better hotels around. I love Greece and everything about it but I have to be honest about this experience.

Breakfast with the most beautiful view in the city, hotel is 2 minutes from Acropolis’s entry and walking distance to everything. Lots of restaurants in the area. Perfect spot for long night walks.

Location is exceptional.. 2 mins from Acropolis. Shops and restaurants right on your doorstep. Honesty is best.. so here goes! We had a 3 bed room.. very comfortable but very cramped when you’re traveling with big suitcases. Bathroom & shower is small.. not a problem..but the shower is handheld which causes water to leak out the door. A good clean under the beds would be good !

It was right in the middle of Plaka and five minutes to Acropolis. I loved the little terrace that overlooked all the people walking by. The restaurant had an amazing view. The food in the restaurant was not that good. It was over salted.

location bathroom too small
-
The view of Acropolis. shower didn't drain well.
-
The rooftop cafe is a MUST! Excellent food at great prices with unbeatably view!
-
Location is perfect. We have stayed here twice. First time room was acceptable because of the view of the Acropolis. Second time room was not clean and bathroom was terrible. Shower stall had no lip so water went all over floor. Toilet area was blocked by the sink and an average size person could barely fit. Bathroom and not clean.
-
We loved the location in Plaka. It was an easy walk to shopping, eating and sightseeing. It was really close to the Acropolis and the Parthenon.
-
Was very close to acropolis, centre of city and close to train station Small room
-
The location was absolutely perfect to be close to everything. It was old and dated but that is to be expected where it is located.
-
Location! Unbelievable unobstructed views of the Acropolis! Excellent room that was clean and comfortable with plenty of space for us to cross level our bags on our last night. Wonderful staff and a convenient restaurant upstairs with the same amazing views. Nothing

Location, location, location! There could not have been a more convenient location to see the main sites of Athens. The balcony was to die for! Sitting out on your private balcony and soaking in the Acropolis makes up for any shortcomings the room may have. The staff were exceptionally friendly and they allowed us to drop our bags early and leave them there on the last day as we awaited our late departure. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable affording us well needed rest. The deluxe double was a little tight with two checked bags. The shower had challenges draining and we had to turn off the shower to lather up and then turn it on again to rinse. Recommend upgrading to the superior double if you need extra space.

Noisy at night. You could hear every toilet flush and shower
-
Easy access great area
-
Breakfast was basic but Ok. Felt the breakfast was overpriced
-
The rooftop for breakfast and for drinks really made it special with the view
