Reviews and Ratings
The hotel staff were so nice and helpful, even when I couldn't find my reservation due to a booking system issue. The rooms were quite new and okay, and fresh towels were provided daily. However, there were some delays in service, like waiting too long just to get menus. The location wasn't great, surrounded by seedy bars, but the dining options were quite good. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, and I loved having the option to enjoy the Acropolis view from the rooftop or the garden area by the pool. The friendly staff at the reception even upgraded our room for free!
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and always served with a smile by the staff. However, the lack of a proper desk chair made working somewhat uncomfortable, especially for those with back issues. On the bright side, the room had a large mirror above the table, unlike the Grand Suite.
The hotel was a mixed experience: the rooms were great with a variety of views, though the pool was not ready; the location had its drawbacks in a non-appealing neighborhood despite being close to sites.
The hotel boasts a great rooftop bar and exit doors, although the room sizes were not as advertised. The staff during my second stay was efficient but had difficulty with the doors and a leak from the air conditioning. It's decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. Despite some issues with room maintenance and noise, the balcony view was amazing. The room was a bit crowded at times. The service, while generally excellent, led to long queues at various points due to high demand. The location offered both negatives and positives, with some clear drawbacks but the proximity to the Acropolis was a highlight. The dining experience overall was great, with a fantastic selection of foods. The facilities were up to standard, contributing to a comfortable stay overall.
The hotel offers rooms with a partial Acropolis view and a large balcony, although the view is limited. The service is a mix of unprofessional behavior from some staff members and genuine professionalism. The location is in a neglected part of the city but provides proximity to downtown areas. The dining experience is exceptional with various options. The constant drilling noise from a neighboring building site affects the overall stay.
The hotel offers rooms that are not as big as advertised but are very comfortable for a short layover in Athens. The spacious layout and super comfy beds enhance the overall experience. The service, despite some forgetfulness and slow responses, is highlighted by outstanding people skills and approachability. The location is not ideal for walking around, situated on a main strip opposite sex shops and strip clubs, but it is not too far from the city center. The dining experience varies from excellent with a wide variety to disappointing with poor food options. The facilities are decent overall.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was spacious and modern with a beautiful view. The friendly staff at the reception even upgraded us for free. The service was extremely accommodating, helpful, and polite, and the facilities like the sauna, Jacuzzi, and hydro-massage added to the experience. Though the location was not in the center, it was close to major attractions like the Acropolis. The dining experience had its ups and downs, but overall, it was good.
The hotel had comfortable rooms and the service was decent, but the location was a bit inconvenient. The dining experience was enjoyable, and the facilities were well-maintained.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was a bit too hot initially, but I appreciated being moved to a balcony room where I could leave the door open for some fresh air. The view facing a rundown area and a massive illuminated sign wasn't ideal, but the spacious and well-appointed room made up for it.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean, spacious rooms, a fantastic breakfast selection, and welcoming staff. However, the lack of a proper desk chair for working could be improved.
The hotel offers clean and fresh rooms with a large bathroom designed for accessibility. The service is responsive but lacks attentiveness in certain areas. The location is convenient with a free shuttle service, although not centrally located. The dining options are varied but somewhat complicated. Overall, a decent choice for a stay with some room for improvement.
I stayed in the hotel's annex which wasn't as nice as the main building. The staff during my second stay was incredibly nice and helpful, especially when they efficiently resolved an issue with my reservation due to a booking system glitch. However, there was noise from construction work in adjoining rooms early in the morning before 9 am. Overall, the rooms were very comfortable and pleasant.
