10/10 Excellent
"Great location, comfort and an amazing view. I highly recommend it."
"Stayed for one night with my dad & brother. Great location, communication, airport transfers, & free breakfast! Would recommend staying here for a night or two in Athens! "
"I had to switch rooms after my first night because the shower in the first room needs to be repaired. And it could use some maintenance to look a little less rundown in the room. I was first in, but they did switch my room and it ended up being in a much better condition."
"Excellent 5 star hotel right near all the main attractions. Restaurant on the roof close to Michelin star level and unbelievable location. Pool gorgeous. Only complaints …. Price of the bar (don’t use it) and breakfast just a bit short of 5 star. Loved it. "
"They are so friendly here! They accommodated us for a last minute breakfast box request out of hours. The location is perfect and located next to several tour bus sites and the Acropolis Plaka. Its 5 minutes from Monastiraki square and tons of restaurants. Not to mention strong AC, which was so nice in the 100F+ heat of July! Highly recommend!"
