This little boutique hotel has been renovated. The rooms are spacious, modernized and super clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The reception area is quite small, but you are not in Athens to hang out at a hotel reception area anyway. The view right outside the hotel is Acropolis. Amazing. This boutique hotel could not be better located. You are at Plaka and the biggest Orthodox Church in Athens. I loved it.
