This was the only reasonably priced option I could find in Athens this weekend. It was extremely average on all dimensions. I was traveling alone, so it was fine for me as a solo man. But my wife would not have liked the property and I’m glad she wasn’t with me. It just needs a total makeover from the rooms, to the parking, to the lobby, and some amenities.
