I couldn’t have asked for a better location. The hotel is within walking distance of all the must-see attractions, including the Acropolis, Plaka, and Monastiraki. I didn’t have to rely on taxis or public transport at all – everything was just a short stroll away!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The hotel was fine, but is typical of many Athens hotels that have been converted cheaply and quickly. The lift was an old fashioned cage lift, while certain fittings in the room were cheap or poorly done (e.g. the bedroom door scraped against the floor and didn’t open fully). The bed was comfy enough, the shower had good water pressure and immediately got to a high temperature, and the staff were always really helpful. Ultimately, it worked for us for a single night, but it didn’t have a holiday feel, and depends on if you pay over €100.

The property is modern and the beds are comfortable, but it’s extremely noisy if your room faces the busy main road bring earplugs. The area feels a bit sketchy and dirty, especially when walking to Plaka or major sites, though it is well lit at night. A major issue: I saw the front desk turn off the lights on guests still eating breakfast at 10:25 AM, telling them it ends at 10:30. Instead of just stopping food service, he argued with them and only turned the lights back on after complaints. Very poor treatment. Overall, I recommend staying closer to the Acropolis for similar prices, you’ll find cleaner, safer areas and a better experience.
