“This hotel stands out for its prime location, placing guests within easy walking distance of Athens's historical heart, especially Monastiraki. I appreciate the hotel's rooftop bar; the Acropolis view is undeniably a highlight, even if the drink prices nudge you toward just one.

super central stay!
perfect location helpful assistance diverse breakfast greek pastries
The hotel's location was perfect for exploring. ermou street and monastiraki square were steps away. I easily returned to the hotel for rests between tours. the staff offered helpful assistance with all my questions and requests. breakfast included honey, yogurt, bread, fruits, eggs, cheese, granola, and greek pastries.
the bathroom was quite small. drying off inside the bathroom was not possible due to the limited space.

Breakfast featured a great selection with many choices. I saw greek specialties to add to familiar favorites. staff was attentive during breakfast, everything was satisfactory. a rooftop restaurant offers a view. but the food was amazing!
