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.
