The perfect spot!

A wonderful hotel 3 minutes from two different subway stations. They were in the middle of renovation whe we stayed (January) but the restaurant, bar, and pool were all top notch. The staff were amazing and very well informed about the sights around Athens. I feel like we got our own customised tour guide! Our rooms had a view of the Acropolis, and the rooftop patio had an even better one! Definitely a gem and a bargin!

We stayed in this hotel for four nights. It is close to two metro stations. The breakfast was excellent, very nice offer and pleasant staff. The hotel itself is pretty “outdated”, with heavy room keys and old and small elevator. Room was not so spacious for family room. Not so safe neighbourghood.
