I was prepared for the tiny room but they could have made it so much better with simple things like hooks for toilet bags and hand towels. They could have provided drawer space in some of their furniture, like bedside tables. Space was not used efficiently but we loved the people at the hotel.

Overall location of the hotel was excellent to the Acropolis and Hadrian's Gate. Staff at the receptionist and in the rooftop restaurant were friendly. The included breakfast was great and lots of variety provided, however dining options for dinner were pricey and left us unfulfilled.
The room was clean and spacious and staff were accommodating.
Overall, great hotel and would stay here again.

Great location, super comfy, staff amazing
We had a 5 day trip to Athens. The hotel was in a great location, walkable to most sights and areas we wanted to see.
The hotel was spotless, the staff were amazing and best of all the bed, pillows and bedding was the extremely comfortable. The breakfast was also good with many options and great coffee. We would definitely stay again.
