8.4/10 Very good! (584 reviews)
The hotel was very simple but also very nice. The room was small but it had a very big terrace. Unfortunately it was raining so I didn't get to use that terrace much. I arrived at the hotel late, after reception had left but getting into the hotel and getting into my room what's not complicated. And yes there was a complimentary bottle of wine. I must admit the area outside the hotel seems a little sketchy but ultimately was fine and enough selection of bodegas and restaurants for me to get something to eat.

Clean and comfortable hotel. No front desk staff was a bit of an issue for us…..we aren’t use to the all digital type room and building entry. Once we got in and in our room it all worked out. We had stayed previously when it was under a different setup and enjoyed it so much that we wanted to return with our family. Location is great with close proximity to train, major sightseeing and places to shop and eat. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Athens.

The room was a good size, clean and the bed was comfortable, However, the carpet was stained and needs to be replaced, preferably a laminate or hard wood floor since it was hard to pull/push our luggage in carpet. The breakfast was a plus, delicious and the coffee machine was excellent. Best of all, the view of the Acropolis from the rooftop was AMAZING!!! The reception staff Angelo was knowledgeable; and Demetruis was helpful. I just wish the hotel was closer to Masiteraki Square, where the hop on-hop off bus and the flea market were located.
