My wife and I requested a queen rather than a double and we were told it was subject to availability and to our surprise, we got a king bed in a suite! Our room was fantastic including a bottle of wine in our room upon arrival. The customer service was great and our breakfast was delicious two doors down! We would highly recommend as the location could not have been better near so much in such a great area of Athens!

Such a great little hotel. The staff was super friendly and charming. The rooms were pretty much perfect with really strong air-conditioning and good blackout shades. Also included coffee and plenty of towels and the things you’d expect. Rooms all seem brand new. The breakfast was nothing short of spectacular. What a bargain and a great hotel and the perfect location. Highly recommended.

This hotel is in a prime location. Other than that very poor value for what they are charging. There are much better options near the Acropolis. After a month in Greece this is the only poor hotel review.

The staff were exceptional and friendly, and very attentive to our needs. The rooms were so clean and chic, we had an amazing time with the hut tub watching the city view and Acropolis. The staff were so amazing to set up our shuttle to the airport and pack us breakfast since our flight was so early. I will be using this hotel for every stay in Athens for now on.
