TOP TIER. Absolutely beautiful hotel. Had the best cheeseburger of our trip at the pool. And the rooftop restaurant is immaculate. 10/10 customer service - and this is coming from somebody who has worked in the hotel industry. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!!

Beautiful lobbies and common elements. Easily walkable to many sites and restaurants . It’s time to upgrade the bedding and room electronics. We stayed for five nights and this was the least comfortable room out of our fifteen days in Greece. There are much more comfortable accommodations near by in the same price point. I believe this establishment is geared towards more business conference than vacationers. We stayed on the second floor in one of the panoramic view suites. I would stay again once the updates are made, but until then I do not recommend for staying several nights like we did.

Right in the heart of Athens and so convenient to everything. More of a retro style, but super clean and taken care of. The room was a little warm and the bed extremely firm.

Honestly didn’t like anything but the shower. The staff were extremely rude. There were no towels and it took over an hour to get some. We even offered to go down. The room was very hot. Ac didn’t work so we had to open the windows. The bed was comfortable though and the shower was good. Not pristine or up to date. Needs an over haul. The acropolis was in better shape.

3 nights at athen

The hotel built long ago and for 5 star it should be renovate, the furniture are very faded colour. The public area is nice, it seems weird to pay for cappuccino at breakfast. The bed was very comfort. So it is fine hotel but for 5 star someone has to invest for quiet total room renovation.
