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!

The location is great. I could easily walk to many attractions. the rooftop bar had amazing views of the acropolis, amazing. the breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options, and it was really filling.
The room felt quite small. There wasn't much space to move around. the soundproofing wasn't great. I could hear noise from the hallway. the bathroom was tiny. Showering was a bit cramped.
