"Area is one of the best in Athens, close to all the landmarks and lots of places to eat and shopping, but it can get very busy and possibly hard to get a cab around on busy days! The roof top gardens was phenomenal, amazing view of the Acropolis! Staff was no the most helpful, specially if u arrive earlier and need to storage your luggages til your check in time! The mini fridge in the room didn't work at all and they never fixed it, but since we stayed just for one night we didn't care much!...
