    The hotel was fairly clean with stunning and peaceful location close to good restaurants and elegant rooms. The staff were efficient and knowledgeable as I expected. Fruit, eggs, bacon and meats provided in the morning. I loved the stay.

    Marvellous breakfast to star a day with fantastic view, fresh cooked food, Greek treats. Great position right in the center in Plaka, in the good area. Besides, easy access to Anafiotika. Speedy check in and in general PERFECT service.

    location and class and glamour of a hotel from before, with everything solid and that air of five-star hotels with the appropriate service and very detailed with the client. friendly staff.

    I didn't like the breakfast. critics said it was absolutely memorable with regional products and it was a real disappointment. Even the coffee was bad; croissants placed inside a closed bowl (like the one with the eggs) were terribly moist and looked like gum. bread was varied, without any extras. sausage, mediocre and without variety. Little fruit and bad. Not even the posters, detailing what it was, were in place. Maybe the only thing that was saved were the olives. a poor breakfast, not very varied and with much less (even in the presentation) and nothing of any product of the Greek gastronomy (neither elaborated nor not elaborated), except a pasta with spinach that shared the source with the croissants and humid pasta was inedible.

    The hotel was brilliant and fairly clean, it had good wi-fi, its location was unbeatable in the Plaka. The food in the rooftop restaurant was excellent and fantastic.

    Lived from March 7 to 10. Cozy small hotel in the historical center of Athens. Beautiful view of the Acropolis from the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel. In 5-7 minutes walking streets with a variety of souvenir and clothing shops, next to which a lot of cafes and restaurants. Room is small, not new, very cozy and corresponds to the photo. I liked the patio of the hotel - quiet, green, cozy - we had coffee after breakfast. Breakfast is absolutely normal, for 2-3 days of stay (longer tiresome). With sliced meat and fried sausages problems - very unpalatable, all the rest - cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, omelette, fried eggs and mushrooms, beans in the tomato, pastries, etc. as in any hotel in the middle hand. staff is sympathetic and pleasant. We got to the hotel at about 2 a. m. in a matter of minutes everything was arranged and placed. We left the hotel at 4 a. m. we organized a duty table (for all those leaving before 7 a. m. with tea, coffee, cupcakes and fruit. Price/quality ratio is quite decent. hotel is not shiny, impression was warm and pleasant. Perhaps even because the maid we had - the sweetest and kindest creature - very carefully cleaned, took care of our child, as his own grandson - a candy will put, then chocolate. She came to Athens from Chisinau a long time ago, so we also had no language barrier.

    We lived in a triple room, because of the design features of the room - there was practically no view from the window. Poor ventilation in the room and especially in the bathroom, so we had to ventilate the room with an open window for a long time - the benefit overboard was + 17 - 20! hall and corridors are stuffy, so the sharp smell of aromatizer immediately meets you as soon as you enter the hotel from the street - it somehow has a bad effect on the perception of the interior, made with taste in the classic style. Construction works were carried out in the swimming pool area from 8-9 am, full program - with the vibrations of the walls from the perforator and "Bulgarian" - it was done without looking back at the guests and without apologies! I hope you will not find this outrage again. We were saved by excursions

    Consider requesting a room away from common areas to avoid noise disruptions. Couple rooms near stairwells can be particularly loud at times.

    noise issues

    Fine rooftop views, indoor pool experience, engaging cultural recommendations

    The lack of power outlets near the bed is puzzling!!! Maintaining room size and modernizing facilities could elevate the experience significantly. Don't even get me started on the noise coming through the walls!!!

    staff did everything to make the hotel great. Attention to the slightest desires, cleanliness, cleanliness, you will always find someone who will help by just looking around. hotel is quiet, cozy, breakfast corresponds to 5 stars, restaurant on the 5th floor must be visited more than once - the view is much better than from GB or King George (they stayed there last time) menu is not huge, quality of dishes is excellent. hotel is a 5-minute walk from the main attractions. with many excellent restaurants and wine bars within a minute. Plaka is Plaka. For vegetarian lovers I recommend the Avocado. It is 100 meters away. Swimming pool on the 4th floor is only open in the summer and you will have to try the Acropolis next time you admire it. Next time, it's only here in Athens.
