Their customer service is really good, and the view from the roof near the swimming pool is amazing! We stayed in this hotel in the middle of April for a few days. It was still very cold to swim in the pool. That was really pity. Staff in the reception and dinning area are very nice. All the public facilities and spaces are very good, but all the rooms are very old and need update. The carpet in the room really need change and clean, just so dirty. I can live with an old hotel room, but I worried about the location of the hotel when I was there. It located in a poor area in Athens. When I walk back from the tour bus station to the hotel, we can smell pees and rubbish on the street. Many of the buildings around the hotel are in very horrible conditions. Some of the streets are very dirty, and some people on the street were wired, some of them were digging through the rubbish bin.I felt very sorry to them and a bit nervous. I would not recommend hotel to people come with young kids for a holidays. You can definitely find somewhere nicer,. This hotel could be a perfect and cheap option for travellers who just stop by Athens for a night or two and use taxi as a transport. It is a cheap and not bad option, if you want to save some money. Mainly because the hotel itself is good. However, if you want a perfect holiday, you need to spend some more money and find else where. In the end of the day, you get what you paid for.

The buildings around the hotel are very run down and when the taxi driver dropped us, he warned us to keep our belongings out of sight and not come back too late. There were a lot of “men” on the streets around the hotel. I was glad I was with my husband as I wouldn’t have felt safe travelling with other women there. After the initial disappointment that the pool and roof top restaurant/ bar were closed as out of season, and that our room did not have the desired view of the acropolis as advertised, we actually enjoyed our stay. The room was comfortable and clean.

On balance not bad..but not amazing.

Excellent breakfast variety. Service lacking urgency/focus to please but could be a cultural difference. No swimming pool functioning in hotel ( why we chose it) and not explained anywhere until we arrived and sked to use pool. Gym is just one machine and some weights.

I stayed at this property for 13 days. The neighborhood is safe during the day to walk, but at night is unsafe. Best to use taxi’s for getting to tourist spots in Athens. The facility, staff, food, and rooms were spectacular. I really enjoyed my vacation here. The staff at this hotel are the kindest and most service oriented professionals that I have ever experienced. If you are looking for an authentic experience of daily Athenian life this hotel is for you. If you are looking for a manicured resort experience this may not be a good option for you. But for seasoned travelers this is a wonderful place to hang your hat and rest after exploring the sites of Athens.
