This was a family trip with my wife and two sons. The room was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our four large suitcases, which we packed for a three-week stay in Europe. A standout feature was the presence of two full bathrooms—one of which had a double shower—making our morning routines smooth and hassle-free.
That said, there were a couple of disappointments. The biggest letdown was that the pool, which had been a deciding factor in our booking, was closed for repairs. Since we were visiting in the heat of summer, we had hoped to use it for some midday relief. When we mentioned this at the front desk, the response was, “It’s posted on our website.” Because we had booked through Expedia, they seemed detached from our concern, citing previous complaints but offering no resolution.
The second issue was breakfast. While the quality of food was excellent, the cost—48 euros per person—felt excessive unless you’re being served salmon and caviar. Staff acknowledged others had voiced similar concerns, but the response was essentially, “Sorry, that’s the price.”
The hotel itself is pleasant, quiet, and just a 10-minute cab ride from major attractions. But without access to the pool, I likely would have chosen the Athens Gate instead—comparable in comfort and location, and about 20% less per night.
