Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is situated near the center of Athens, offering a convenient location for exploring the city. While the rooms were clean and fairly spacious, they felt more suited for individuals than families. The service was attentive, although some staff members lacked friendliness. The dining experience provided a daily spread with a fantastic view but lacked variety and quality. The facilities were standard without standout features. Overall, a decent option for those prioritizing location over luxury.
The hotel had very narrow and noisy rooms due to traffic noise but was well-equipped with handy amenities. The staff were helpful, but some were rude. The location was convenient but could be better. The dining experience was mixed, and the facilities were decent.
The hotel is conveniently located near two underground stations, making it easy to access the city. Although the neighborhood raised safety concerns, we did not encounter any issues during our stay. The hotel offers reasonable rates, considering the location in a dangerous district, but this may be a determining factor for solo travelers.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were generally quiet and well-equipped with a balcony and TV, there were minor issues like a leaking water problem that was promptly addressed. However, the bath tube shown in the pictures was smaller than expected. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster; although the staff were helpful and the breakfast spread was good, some aspects like sending postcards for a fee without a receipt felt off. The location, close to the city center and with easy access to taxis, had its ups and downs with safety concerns at night. The dining experience offered a decent variety of food, especially with fantastic rooftop views. Facilities were adequate but not exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, though smaller than expected, was clean and spacious, offering everything I needed. The service was friendly and helpful, especially by the chef. However, the location felt unsafe and noisy, impacting my overall experience. The dining experience was simple yet tasty, with a good selection available. Despite the drawbacks, the hotel offered value for money.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were reasonably basic, comfortable, and clean but unfortunately, the A/C didn't work properly. On the bright side, the staff were so welcoming and friendly, making my stay more pleasant.
