Location was great, roughly a 15 minute walk to the Acropolis. The hotel was also very clean and the staff was very welcoming and kind. However I’d caution the hotel is on a busy intersection so there’s a bit of noise. On top of that, we booked 3 Executive Rooms, all of which happened to be next to the kitchen/restaurant, which only added to the noise. I’d consider staying again, but not in the Executive Rooms again by the kitchen.

Loved this property, great food and service. Recently renovated, EXCEPT it’s at the corner of 2 VERY busy streets and cars, horns, sirens, etc can be heard well into 1AM in the morning. I guess it’s the price you pay for convenient access to the Acropolis (5 mins walk) and the Plaka (central square with shopping and lots of great food options). Bring ear plugs and a mask (lights are very bright outside the hotel at night).

Hotel was very nice. It is right on the border of the sights in Athens, so you do have to do a little walking to get to the most "touristy" areas, but considering the price difference I think this was a great deal. Breakfast was included and wonderful. The small plunge pool on the roof was a nice addition and great way to cool down after a long hot day or touring around Athens.

The hotel was in a great location, walking distance to most areas of interest. The rooftop restaurant had a very good buffet breakfast. The junior suite was spacious and had a lot of light from big windows. The only negative comment I have is the pool on the rooftop is very small and there is no deck with long chairs.
