  Amazing experience with brilliant staff

  11 May 2026

  This is a really beautiful hotel and it’s in a great location close to everything you need and want to see. I was really impressed with how clean the hotel is kept, I didn’t notice a thing out of place, it was lovely. The breakfast and food served at the hotel bar were amazing. The staff were the highlight of the stay here. They were all so helpful and friendly and went above and beyond to make your stay perfect. One staff member noticed we had been waiting outside for a while waiting on our transfer to leave and he came out and asked if we needed help and he called the transfer company himself to get an update. They all deserve so much praise for how brilliant they are. Would highly recommend this hotel, I loved my stay!

  Clean hotel, marginal location.

  29 Apr 2026

  The hotel and room are very clean and modern. The roof top restaurant has a superb view of the Acropolis. The neighborhood of the hotel is gritty and about.5 mile somewhat uncomfortable walk from any tourist area. The Psirri neighborhood is far more tourist interesting. There are likely a variety of rooms but ours is about as small as humanly possible. Barely enough room for luggage. No bathroom counter space. Our room is right next to bright all-night lights which keep the room light despite thick curtains. Housekeeping has not refilled the hand soap. Breakfast is good.

  A perfect stay

  13 Apr 2026

  From the moment I checked in until I booked a taxi to the airport on my last morning, everything about my stay was delightful. The boys on reception were so friendly, welcoming and charming, recommending restaurants, booking taxis and going above and beyond to help. I had my first Greek salad with a glass of white wine and the most amazing view of the Acropolis while I waited on my room to be ready.My room waa great, lovely comfortable bed and a great shower.Breakfast was splendid with an amazing array of fresh fruit, yoghurts, nuts, seeds, honeys, bread and pastries and a super selection of eggs; scrambled, fried, boiled, omelettes, bacin, sausage and cold meats and cheeses.Breakfast room and staff all great too.I could not fault this hotel and loved to watch the sunset every evening with a Paloma or a Negroni served by the lovely Katerina.Efgharisto poli

  Lovely stay

  16 Mar 2026

  Just arrived home after a 4 night stay. We had room 401 which was a corner room with 2 windows to the side & also a balcony looking out to the Acropolis. The staff go above & beyond to make your stay amazing. The room was cleaned daily. There was a bath witha shower aswell as a separate walk in shower. The hotel has some lovely peices of origional art jotted about the hotel & corridors. The breakfast buffet catered for all tastes & on request gluten free bread. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

  Nice place for a short holiday

  22 Feb 2026

  Outstanding staff, so friendly, smiling, and helpful. Outstanding breakfast, never seen anything like it when it comes to the variety. I only missed a little ketchup for the sausages. I was traveling with my teen daughter, and I had totally forgotten to ask for separate beds. The room had one queen size bed with a double duvet, but we had it changed instantly upon request to a twin room, single duvets. Outstanding service.We stayed in a standard room, no Acropolis view (one big window/door facing the backyard), which I found quite fortunate as the rooms facing Acropolis are also facing the street with quite heavy traffic day and night. I can not tell if traffic noise will be disturbing if you stay in a south facing room, but it surely might.Sites like hotels.com and booking.com sell the hotel by a nice and romantic photo of a beautiful girl in a swimming pool. But the pool is not included, you have to pay for a 1,5 hour stay (including sauna etc.). The description of the hotel says nothing about extra charge (the hotel's own website does). The price is EUR 25!The hotel is situated just 350 meters north of the vibrant Psirri district. After strolling around most of the city centre, I am so glad I chose this area for our stay. Some reviews criticise the neighbourhood for being insecure with homeless people sleeping in the streets. Yes - it is true, there were a few within 50 meters. But hey - is this not a very common sight in any capital nowadays... We felt 100% secure, although the neighbourhood is somewhat abandoned and unmaintained with lots of graffiti and ready for demolition. Areas like Plaka and Monastiraki are more beautiful, but also much more expensive. I would recommend this hotel any time, as you will be within walking distance for anythingNOTE: Closest arrival by public transport is Kerameikos Metro St. Google Maps will suggest Monastiraki (perhaps Thessio). But the walk along the pavements from these places are very "trolley unfriendly"! In addition Kerameikos is the closest one - but be aware that Google Maps misplaces the pin for the exact address and sends you on a detour. Look for  Πλατεία Κεραμεικού facing the Metro entrance. The walk to the hotel sends you through 150-200 meters of unexpected industrial environment, also bad pavement, but a much shorter distance than the others.
