Hotel was great location with well designed rooms! We enjoyed our stay. There was construction going on during our stay so rooftop was closed which was a disappointment- however everything else was terrific. We will stay again!

Very good location and close to airport metro. Service was good and employees are very helpful. There was a communication conflict about our extras but they managed it. Next time might be more open explanation will be better for us. Still, no bad experience in total.

I would say, our room had a perfect view of acropolis. We didn’t have to go anywhere to see New Year fireworks. I know nothing is perfect but if the elevator is a bigger, that will be close to perfect!

Location of this hotel is amazing. We were given a front suite that had an amazing view of the Acropolis. However, with this hotel comes a lot of noise, as it is in a very crowded area with many locals and tourists enjoying themselves at all hours. The roof top bar and restaurant are very nice and have amazing views for the sunset and any time viewing!

Loved everything about the Hotel, clean, modern renovated rooms. Very friendly staff and very helpful. Breakfast excellent and amazing view of the Acropolis from the rooftop bar with complimentary drink. Area around was a bit noisy and so much graffiti, but that's Athens. Thank you for a lovely stay.
