excellent location. close to everything. Very large suite. Very clean. A pleasant surprise of a fruit bowl and wine! Very friendly staff. Stored our luggage until our room was ready. Had a wonderful time in Athens partly due to a wonderful suite. We would definitely stay here again!

Eternity Athens
