The location is great - 15 minute walk to Acropolis main enter ace, near shopping and dining in an area filled with pedestrian streets. Nice room (about 280 square feet) with a view of the Acropolis. Room was located toward the back and was very quiet. Breakfast was amazing! Very good food and wide variety. Hotel staff were welcoming, helpful, and efficient. Highly recommend
