Shift leader who checked us in (around 1:15am) was rude and unaccommodating. Fortunately the bellman was kind and helped us with our room. The same shift leader checked us out 3 days later and treated us the same way. The hotel is located at an incredibly busy intersection and there is traffic, noise and sirens at all hours of the day and night. Hotel is 20-25 minutes away from the top sites in Athens and is not in a "fun" part of town. We had to Uber everywhere. Do not recommend and will definitely never stay here again.

We only stayed 1 night, but it was fabulous! The rooms were quiet and clean. The breakfast buffet on the rooftop was awesome and the views were spectacular. I wish we could have lounged by the pool but our timing was short. The only challenge was the shower area as there is no door where the shower and tub were…so hopefully you know your travel mate well or take turns getting ready and leaving the room for privacy.

Very nice hotel especially the rooftop dining & bar. Rooms are average size and the staff are very helpful & friendly. The location is in downtown Athens but in a bit of a rough area. Most of Athens is a bit rough but a few blocks away is filled with homless people. Easy access to most tourist spots including the metro.

Good stuff: * Main draw is the roof top pool but beware that the hotel rents space out, we had a 12 or 13 year old girl's party there so lots of squealing teens for a whole afternoon! It has a stunning view of the Pantheon, and is an oasis in a busy city. * Metro station and tourist bus 2 mins walk away * Fantastic breakfast, loads of choice, nice seating area including outside deck * Room very clean Bad stuff: * Staff poorly informed - government free entry day, they told us we needed tickets for the Panetheon and only the museum was free, we decided to see when we got there and it was all free * Staff didn't know the mall shops were shut on Sundays so sent us off to find only the food court was open * Staff at the pool are there watching what you are doing so you feel like you're at school. They don't offer a poolside service, just stand and watch you - you order drinks via and app * Restaurant bar and evening meals very limited (one main dish) for veggies * No effective soundproofing - area very noisy both from the street and can hear every word of other guests in corridors from rooms. Hotel used by large coach parties that left early so we were woken at anything from 6.30am * Not much in the area, need to get metro or taxis to town Overall: * Good value compared to other hotels in Athens, just be aware of the need to travel for evening meals and to get to town, and that it's pretty noisy. But offset that against the pool and the cleanliness and nice size of rooms.

Only 1 of hotel elevators was working, with hundreds of guests needing to use the elevators. We were almost late to our cruise ship because it took us 45 min to get downstairs from the 3rd floor with 6 bags. Hotel should have planned to help guests checking out due to this issue. Also the area is not that great, not much to do here, about an 30 min walk and walking to main areas.
