NLH MONASTIRAKI - Neighborhood Lifestyle Hotels
The only problem I had was the A/C was shutdown on day 2 in the rooms were hot which made it hard to sleep and sweated all night. Small refrigerator does not get cold enough. Only issues I had. Staff was great, especially Andreas or Andreols, very friendly and goes above and beyond.
