Great breakfast. Awesome high end restaurant on top floor plus a good one on the main floor. Reasonably close to bus tour pickup point. Close to tram that takes you to central city. Bit of a walk to the metro but one can take the tram to the metro. Surrounding area is run down but felt safe walking through it.

Great hotel, great location within easy reach of the main attractions and with view of the Acropolis. Very friendly and welcoming staff. It's being refurbed and we were in a refurbed room which was nicely done and very comfortable. Had an club room so access to the executive longe which is well worth it with breakfast, afternoon tea and 3 hours of canapés and drinks in an evening. Friendly team in the executive lounge who look after you. Top notch !
