The hotel had some great aspects, like a fantastic view of the Acropolis and a friendly staff that remembered us from last year. However, the rooms were a bit cramped and not well-suited for three people. I also found the breakfast options lacking, particularly with the cereal offerings. Overall, it was pleasant, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

I stayed at a hotel that has a wonderful location, perfect for exploring Athens with stunning views of the Acropolis. The rooms were clean but a bit small and noisy due to the lack of soundproofing.

The hotel has a great location, just a couple of blocks from the local square, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. The rooms, however, were quite dated and didn't match the pictures, which was a letdown. The service was mostly helpful, especially with local dining recommendations, but they weren’t accommodating when it came to canceling a reservation. Overall, it’s not a bad stay, but some improvements could be made for better value.
