Romeo, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location in Psiri was great - we walked easily e.g. to the Akropolis, market and city gardens. The nightlife was right outside in the street! Metro took us easily to Pireus port and Airport. To the beach we needed metro and tram, so the trip took an hour each way. Hotel staff was super nice, friendly and helpful - they alone make the hotel worth picking! The two-story room was spacious and pretty clean. Air conditioning worked well but the glass floor The breakfast was quite limited and basic: some yoghurt, apple, bread and cake.

The staff was amazing! Cristal was so helpful, she went above and beyond. The hotel is conveniently located, only 15 - 20 min away from all must sees.
Giuliana, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Best staff at any hotel we’ve ever stayed in. My mom broke her foot 2 days into our vacation and they helped setup medical care and were very accommodating with her crutches and scooter. We had an early morning excursion planned and they had breakfast boxes prepared for us the night before. They setup taxis to and from the airport as well. Hotel itself was very nice and modern and the beds were comfy! 10/10 would recommend and would stay again
Marisa, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Big room, Clean, quiet, great air con. Comfy bed. Great shower and bathroom. Great location. Very central. Would definitely book here again if we return to Athens. Best place we have stayed on our 2 month holiday out of about 30 hotels through Europe.

Liked that the receptionist prepared a box breakfast. Did not like the evening music coming from the outside bars, but the hotel provided ear plugs which definitely helped.
