Breakfast was delicious and staff was very welcoming and helpful. Bar had a large variety of drinks. Location can’t be beat, it’s close to restaurants, shopping, and historical sites. Room was beautiful and spacious.
Breakfasy was great!
The cleanliness of the rooms and entire property is what needs special commendation. The room and hotel was spotless. And I am pretty picky. The staff spoke good English and was very friendly.

Clean room, good staff, excellent location, large property, reasonable price. Bed and room temperature were very comfortable.
Breakfast selection was bland and substandard compared to comparable hotels. Decor is dated. Wifi and signal reception was poor and problematic. Need a big upgrade from the 80s decor at some point and stronger signal.
So breakfast was great. Jim is not usable and very minimal. It will help to have a nice gym in a smaller one on the property. Also, there was no coffee option in the room. We want to make tea in the middle of the night. A coffee maker is a must.

Good hotel for big groups
Good location
But very old hotel very dark rooms no lights on the ceiling in bedrooms only side lamps.
Needs a total revamp.
The location near tourist sites can’t be better. Hotel is upscale though rooms sizes and conditions vary between visits depending on booking rates. The room pictures may not be what you’ll get. Rooftop restaurant and breakfast are nice.
Beautiful hotel. Great staff. Large selection for breakfast.

Older hotel but cannot beat the location opposite Zeus temple and 3min from Plaka, Hadrians gate, close to all tour bus departures and acropolis metro/ Acropolis & museum
Spar/ AB express shop close by
Rooms comfortable however some rooms not yet renovated so aircon not effective
Breakfast tasty but limited variation
We loved having the pool to retreat to after being out in the heat and the crowds of Athens. My room was gorgeous directly below the restaurant and with a view of the Acropolis. Loved everything about staying here.
This classy hotel is gorgeous - and just steps away from the main tourist spots in the city center of Athens. It’s also an ideal choice if you’re running the Athens Marathon, just about a half-mile walk from the Olympic stadium at the finish line.
