The hotel's rooms, though visually appealing, were a bit tight on space and showed signs of age; however, they were exceptionally clean. The service provided was exceedingly friendly, helpful, and efficient. The location, near major metro lines and attractions like the Plaka district, restaurants, museums, and the Acropolis, was truly excellent. The dining experience offered tasty options but could get crowded at peak times. Overall, a great value for the money with a few minor drawbacks.

I couldn't get enough of the amazing Acropolis view from my room. The rooms were breathtaking with the view of Acropolis, but it would have been even better if there were tea/coffee making facilities available or a hot drinks machine in the foyer. The service was just perfect with extremely friendly and helpful staff, especially when we had a travel snafu before check-in. The location was awesome, nestled between the Monastiraki and Syntagma metro stops, making it easy to visit all the main attractions. The dining experience was good with lots of variety, starting as early as 5 a.m. The hotel provided a great start to my day.
