    Remarkably quiet and not a long walk to the busy fun tourist areas. Desk was very quick to offer help in calling a taxi for the airport as well as other destinations. Very clean lobby, rooms and cafe. Beds were very comfortable. Welcoming staff with fresh water when checking in served in a glass , staff was helpful in getting settled and also getting around as well as restaurant suggestions and help with reservations. We had breakfast included and it was delicious with lots of variety and all the coffee we needed as well as an early coffee before yoga on the rooftop. Yoga in the morning breeze, with the Acropolis in clear view was delightful

    There are not enough stars for this hotel! Beautiful hotel on a quiet neighborhood street. We were greeted warmly and told we had been given an upgraded room with a wrap around balcony, hot tub and outdoor shower. The room was stocked with delicious and healthy snacks and drinks which were complimentary. The breakfast was fantastic. The room was comfortable and very clean and a view of the Acropolis. Honestly one of the best value stays I’ve ever had. Absolutely nothing

    Location is super convenient, excellent coffee, great idea with wine tasting, nice bathroom including shower. Nothing to complain about :-)

    It was clean, safe and in great location. Nothing

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Loved the location, near a park and metro. Safe neighbourhood. We stayed two times, a week apart. The room on the second visit was way too small, the shower was almost bigger than the room. I had thought of storing my suitcase in there as it would not have gotten wet. When we complained the person on the desk said it’s how we booked it on booking.com. When I checked my booking they were the exact same booking, and same price. The room on the first visit was very nice, view of the park. Second time was a brick wall. The morning of checkout we expressed our dismay with the new person on the desk and she made up a bag of merchandise for us, T- shirt etc. We really enjoyed breakfast and the rooftop bar.

    Very convenient location in Konaki and close to the subway so easy to get from the airport very friendly staff, beautiful rooms near garden museum, and close to shopping and restaurants. I had a really beautiful day.

    Great location, room and breakfast. Excellent value. The staff was amazing

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Great staff. Fun design-oriented property. Excellent fresh breakfast buffet + hot items. Comfortable bed + nice shower. AC is central & it was too warm for us. Opening balcony was too loud due to road noise.

    Great location and service. Breakfast was excellent

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Great staff, amazing breakfast and very nice rooms. Rooftop is also great! A bit further from the center (10$ taxi) but worth the less noisy atmosphere. Mattresses are too soft;)

    This was an ideal base for an exploration of Athens. I didn't think I've ever been in a hotel with a better staff. We didn't have a place to eat on one of the nights we were in town and they recommended a place that was actually perfect. In addition, a wine tasting every night and the very best hotel breakfast ever (you can order things off the menu but I don't know why you'd need to with an extensive and delicious buffet as well) help to enhance the stay. The view from the roof bar at night is also gorgeous. I can't say enough about this place.

    The staff was amazing. Very friendly and so helpful. They are a great team. Great breakfast. What makes this hotel great is certainly the people that work there. We loved everything.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    We are returning guests so we love everything about the hotel. Location, design , cleanliness, being super pet friendly, but above all the staff! We had a surprise prepared by the reception team which really made our day!

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Great food - breakfast and room service - whilst the wine hour was particularly appreciated after returning from work!

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Simple and nice

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Fantastic location—just a 5-minute walk from the neighborhood center and subway, yet tucked away on a quiet street. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was excellent, and the room was comfortable. The gym is quite small, but considering that most hotels in the area don’t have one at all, it’s understandable.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    The property was central to where we wanted to walk. The staff was attentive very nice to help us and always cheerful.

    Wonderful hotel with an unbeatable location. It made exploring Athens so easy—everything we wanted was nearby. Clean, comfortable, and well run, with friendly staff. We’d absolutely stay here again.

    Beautiful hotel in a great location, central yet quite.
