Great spot

Fantastic spot, will absolutely be booking again next time I'm staying in Athens. Our only complaint was that the mirrors were up too high for my short friend!

They are the nicest people; but the property Is so old the rooms reek of mildew making it difficult to sleep in the room; it’s quaint but the smell is overbearing

This is a very economical alternative to nearby properties. Even though it's older, it has been renovated and is comfortable and clean. It's not as nice as newer hotels, and the rooms can be dark inside even in daylight due to there being only one small window in most rooms.

“Just okay”

Overall, the room was fine. There were a few main concerns that we experienced. The pumps that were on the shampoo and conditioner provided in the shower were broken, so there was no way to use the shampoo or conditioner. The only other option was plugging my hair tools into the lamp by the bed and doing my hair on my bed- far from a mirror. There are no other outlets easily found on the walls in the room. The only outlet in the restroom did not work, so I had to do my hair on the bed. The room remained very hot unless we turned the fan on the AC on. That fan turned off every hour or so. This kept my husband from sleeping well because he had to continually get up to push the fan button after the room quickly reached a high temperature after the fan turned off. I am thankful that check out was simple and did not require going to the desk, because we waited in a 20ish minute line at the start of our stay to check in.
