The breakfast was very good and the view was unbeatable. This hotel is in a convenient location. The property is dated and the dinner options were very pricey but the taste didn’t match the price.

Not 5* as advertised - my room was pretty dated, hole in the ceiling, big brown stain on the floor, reception staff also a little rude when checking in to be completely honest. Didn’t tell me about the facilities just my room number and so I had to ask and they got a little impatient with me and I actually didn’t visit the gym because I didn’t know where it was and didn’t want to ask again! However the bar, the view from the bar, food and foyer were all lovely, which was kind of the reason we booked it. Breakfast also really nice.

Old hotel, not matching for younger generations, reasons why ; too dark inside room, no enough power outlets (can not charge mobile beside beds, just available under desk far from beds), elevators are so slow, that's why breakfast restaurants are mess.

We loved having the pool to retreat to after being out in the heat and the crowds of Athens. My room was gorgeous directly below the restaurant and with a view of the Acropolis. Loved everything about staying here.

The best thing about the hotel was the location. We paid extra for a room that overlooked the Temple of Zeus (you could just see the acropolis if you moved the curtain). It was very convenient as the Hop On, Hop Off buses stopped 50 m away and the busses/trams from Sp stopped right outside.

Out of all our stays in Greece, this was the most disappointing one. Aside from the views from the rooftop, everything else was subpar - the service, food, room, and amenities.

Wow, this hotel is incredible! It’s absolutely beautiful, and I truly wish I could have stayed longer. The pool is stunning, the amenities are top-notch, and the room was incredibly spacious. Best of all, we had an unforgettable view of the Parthenon and the Temple of Zeus right from our balcony. The front desk attendant who checked us in seemed to be having a rough day, and the rooftop restaurant felt a bit overpriced and pretentious — especially when we were told we couldn’t get a coffee to go and had to sit down to drink it. But aside from that, everything else was wonderful. The hotel is centrally located, easily walkable to all the main sights, and overall, a fantastic place to stay.

Super convenient location! Close to the best areas in Athens. The view from the breakfast is beautiful and the breakfast was excellent, a full buffet. Front desk staff very nice and helpful. The wait staff at the breakfast were already starting to close up the buffet and tables at 930am (the buffet closes at 10am) making the experience feel rushed and just overall not the nicest staff up there. The pool is great but should be opened early, 11am is way too late and 730pm is way too early to close. Felt safe walking back to hotel at night. Overall, a great hotel for only have 2 nights in athens after our trip to the islands.
