Rooftop pool and bar was comfortable and gave great views of the Acropolis, especially at night when it was lit up. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. We arrived before check in time and provided luggage storage to allow us to explore the area around the hotel. Great buffet breakfast provided each morning.

The experience at the end was fine, but it didn't start very well. On our first night we were were put on the 6th floor, supposedly an upgrade, with a view of the Acropolis, but the room was terrible. The decor dated, and the worst part was the bathroom, not even worthy of a 1 star hotel. On top of it all, the soundproofing of the room was terrible and we could hear every passing scooter's exhaust noise. On complaining, we were shifted to what was available for the next night, which was an accessibility room, but still much much better than what we endured on our first night. The following night we were eventually moved to a modern and spacious room on the fourth floor where we stayed comfortably for the next 3 nights. Apparently, 4th and 5th floors were refurbished in the previous years, and you could tell. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast was decent. The hotel's location close to the metro station is ideal for exploring the city and airport transfer. I would have given 5 stars if we had stayed from the start in the room we eventually spent 3 out of our 5 nights booked.

Our recently renovated room was excellent. Housekeeping was great. Loved the rooftop dipping pool, bar and lounge. 360 degree views of Athen including the acropolis! Cute little balcony. Great breakfast…and all very affordable and good value for the money. The location was somewhat sketchy…graffiti everywhere, garbage in the streets, but we stuck to the main streets and didn’t go out after dark.
