Staff were super helpful and made us feel welcome. One thing that was not so good was that the breakfast started at 0830 and finished at 11. We were out early every day and so only option was to take a packed lunch that they provided. It worked but we generally eat out when possible.

We loved the area. There were tons of places to eat, shop and close to the Acropolis. Staff was wonderful. We were in town way before check-in time and they got our room ready for us early. The only minor issue was there is no staff available between the hours of midnight and 8 a.m. You receive a code to get in and out of the building, but they made sure we had a taxi called for us for our early morning flight. It wasn't a big deal for us. We enjoyed our time there and would stay there again. Front desk staff was extremely helpful and friendly.

This hotel was a perfect choice for Athens. Great location, close to the metro and easy to walk around. The front desk was very accommodating with check in/out times, gave us a ton of recommendations, and even surprised us with champagne and fruit in our room for our honeymoon. We’d absolutely stay there again!
