    Perfect location

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The facilities start showing their age - water in the shower did not drain as fast as the showerhead supplied it. The lights on the balcony did not work - or we could not figure out how to turn them on. The "a la carte breakfast" is mediocre.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It was a beautiful clean property with a wonderful staff. Located in a wonderful area close to everything and the views were magnificent from the restaurant including the breakfast. I highly recommend this hotel. Nothing not to like

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very modern and the room was well appointed. Nespresso coffee in room. Larger safe than most hotels. 24 hour staff that went out of their way to make sure your stay was enjoyable. Included breakfast was excellent. Their evening tasting menu was a great dining experience. I will definitely stay at this property again! Small item that they could use is a do not disturb for the door when you want privacy during cleaning times.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Really well located- it was a great choice for our first day in Athens. Close to everything! Comfy and clean. They tried their best to get us our rooms before check in time since our flight landed early. -

  • Engine customer May 2026

    I loved everything about this hotel. The location was exceptional but also the customer service. We loved the breakfast and the view. Our experience was very pleasant!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Absolutely amazing location. On a pedestrian promenade, south entrance to the Acropolis across the street, the Acropolis Museum practically next door. My room (Hellenic Suite with Acropolis View) was very spacious and very well appointed, with an incredible terrace overlooking the Acropolis. Great breakfast every day. Absolutely nothing to dislike.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Great location near the Acropolis. Wonderful staff and fantastic rooftop restaurant for breakfast or dinner. Lunch in lobby was good as well.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    the breakfast was repetitive. the food was fresh and tasty but since it is a boutique hotel i have expected to have some day to day variation.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Everything was great. The location is great, the view from the hotel is wonderful, the staff is very polite and attentive.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Location couldn’t be better than this. Less than a minute walk to metro station, less than a minute walk to acropolis entrance, less than a minute walk to best part of Plaka, less than a minute walk to Zeus temple. The location will blow your mind!!! I can’t complain for anything

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Lighting in the room was very dark.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Excellent hotel in a great location. The staff is friendly and helpful, the beds are very comfortable, and the hotel is modern and well equipped. Highly recommended. There was noise from external units in the first room, but the staff quickly moved us to another one.

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    I travel a lot. This hotel was amazing. Very quiet for its location, the location is perfect. The service was exceptional. The restaurants food and view were phenomenal. This was my second stay and will always be my go to place in Athens.

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    The hotel was perfectly located, close to museums, the acropolis and restaurants. A perfect home base for your stay in Athens. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Beds were comfortable, but it was two twin beds pushed together, one was higher than the other, so you could not lay across the bed, you had to be on one side or the other.
