This hotels has a plumbing problem. Hard to fix being above the train and a massive fountain. Our room smelled like a toilet bowl. After complaining, and requesting a refund to leave, we were told there were no more rooms, but then miraculously were switched to a different room. This room smelled like bleach and the drain was clogged. Backed up water began to rise in the bathroom. We complained again and were refused a refund and were offered to move rooms YET again. We were offended, were not met with respect and hospitality and how uncomfortable we were. We will never stay here again and will never recommend this hotel. Also, we were warned by multiple taxi drivers that the area is known for many people being on hard drugs. Not good for walking. We also were followed to the hotel and only crossed the street from the bar across the street. Security was great at diverting the man, but overall a terrible, costly, and uncomfortable experience.

Lovely hotel, rooms spacious and clean, pool and bar areas very nice, area is not so nice but an uber from outside hotel is only around 3€, hop on hop of buses just around the corner, and cafe/sandwich bar attached to hotel is really reasonably priced.

Would recommend taking the train to the Plaka, lots of shops, dining options, along with nice views of the Acropolis. Dine at Kuzino if possible. Excellent!!! Reserve the rooftop.

Beautiful hotel with amazing rooftop. The views from the rooftop were incredible. The pool is nice but it was really crowded. The restaurant was very good. The rooms were spotless and modern. The metro is right outside the hotel which is nice because there isn’t much around the hotel. The free buffet breakfast was amazing. So many choices. We would definitely go back again.
