Chris he manager and Chris at the Front desk were exceptionally helfpul and provided incredible assistance and went our of their way to make me feel welcome. The food was as good or even better than their reputation. I plan to come back and I was hoping they had a similar hotel in Rome.

Attalos Hotel
Located very centrally, very close to monastariki metro station. Staff were great, let us check in a good few hours early one time and then let us store luggage free the day after. Great rooftop bar with amazing views and reasonable prices. Stayed there twice now and would probably stay here ...
