Warm welcoming,excellent breakfast.metro station close by,walking distance from city center ,nice rooftop
4.1
The room is very small. There is an italian shower with no door and no proper slope so water runs out of the shower and bathroom. It said view to Omonia square but I had a view to a wall of the building in fornt of me. Everything is black in this hotel, not comfortable for the eye. Make everything looks even smaller. The roof is nice and breakfast was good.

4.1
The Hotel has a nice pool and sunbeds on the top of the building but our room was very small with the most terrible view ever. We looked straight into a dark deserted building with broken windoms

Athens is really hot in the Summer Time, so avoid July to September. Hop on and Hop off buses are all not the same so watch them before you Hop On. Cabs can get expensive so learn to use the Subway. Its less and 100 feet from the Skylarks front door. Hotel rooms are quirkey but the staff being helpful overcame the problems.

Beautiful hotel with a fun rooftop. We spent quite a bit of them on the rooftop pool and bar with Acropolis views. The rooms are beautifully decorated but also unfortunately rather crammed. We booked a junior suite but oddly they gave us two adjoining regular rooms instead. Pros & cons to this arrangement: awesome to have two bathrooms but the king beds are too big for the room size we had to be creative with opening luggage. There are no real closets just some hangers above the fridge. So for a couple with a real suitcase in a regular room it just won’t work. If we want to hang out together in a room we have to lie on the bed. Breakfast buffet has plenty of varieties and are delicious.

We loved the hotel. Its dark inside but that goes with the contemporary style of it and we loved its relaxed but cool vibes. We both had the greek god massage and it was amazing. A bit of an unusual set up for massages (in a room off the gym) but headphones were given so youd never know where your were. Fantastic stay. Every single member of staff we spoke to was lovely and helpful and friendly. We did notice behind the hotel are some streets you wouldnt want to walk down but once you stay in front of the hotel entrance it all felt safe.

The staff are the winning element of this hotel, their service was brilliant. We enjoyed the rooftop bar and thought the sunbeds were really comfortable.
However, the bedrooms were too small and dark. We had an atrium room with a balcony, which I think I paid for, but the view was to the back of the hotel which has awful abandoned buildings. So the balcony could not be used and it felt cramped inside.
The pillows and mattresses were very very hard and the fridge buzzed very loudly at night time. We didn't pay for breakfast included because we like the freedom to go elsewhere, we did go once and it was extortionate! We didn't go back again....
Food in the restaurant at the top was lovely and the barstaff were attentive and super gorgeous with my little girl.
The taxi driver told us the area to the left of the hotel was very unsafe and not to go down that way, so that was a bit uncomfortable with a little one on my own but apart from homelessness and migrants asking for money and food, I didn't feel uneasy at all.
Thank you to the staff, they were fab.

Loved the modern and moody vide. Room was bigger and better than expected. Had two bathrooms which was ideal as 3 of us in the room. Excellent balcony and views. Rooftop pool and bar was beautiful and Had amazing view of acropolis. Breakfast was delicious, and staff were very helpful. Would definitely stay there again.
4.1
All the buildings surrounding were abandoned at best it's a 3 stat hotel. Rooms very small patio faced abandoned building horrible view
4.1
The room was ok but there was no real space to keep clothes - no wardrobe or drawers - just a rail with a few hangers. The room was cleaned every day but to varying standards. The staff were not overly helpful around the pool area especially as they refused to provide umbrellas or help in moving them. The pool area is lovely but very small

Great location and roof top pool area

It was lovely and the staff were very friendly. The breakfast buffet was impressive!!

The first thing I would say is be sure to do your research of the area before booking which is the mistake I made, when I got into my cab and the cab drover told me it was an unsafe area I was a little shocked. Obviously that is not the hotels fault, not many great places to eat around, however it is opposite the train station which ks then 3 stops to the acropolis or 30 min walk depending on your fitness, its also a short walk to the museum. The hotel itself is clean, the beds and pillows are very comfortable, although it was two single beds joined together, for the price I would have expected a proper double or queen, the bathroom floods the shower does not have proper draining, and I tried to get room services all night however no one answered the either of the phone lines. The lift is a bit of a hassle when you are leaving and on one of the lower floors as it was always packed, I had to wait 20 mins and ended up giving up and carrying my suitcase down the stairs. The staff however are very friendly, walked me out to my taxi and carried my suitcase for me. Roughly 45-50 euro to get to airport. I booked this hotel as I saw the photos of the pool, however I wish I did a bit more researxh about the area first.

Very small rooms.
4.1
Very small but beautfiul decorated room. Good shower. Nice details in the bathroom for personal care.
Very good breakfast buffet.
Nice rooftop area but with not so nice view.
Friendly staff, except most security guards.
Surroundings of the hotel very dirty, graffiti, junkies, etc. The very nice area of Kolonaki is a 5 min drive away. Some nice beach clubs are a 10-15 minute drive away.

Staff were really helpful and very respectful

Unfortunately, we found bed bugs on our second night. The staff didn’t seem surprised and weren’t overly apologetic. They gave us alternative room (smaller & a worse view), we complained and they moved us to a similar room to our original given room. They gave us a bottle of wine & macaroons as an apology, however we have now realised that the bed bugs travelled back to the UK with us. If I could, I never would have booked this hotel and I strongly advise against staying here. The bed bug situation is making me regret the entire trip to Athens.

Very nice hotel. Communication could have been better. Rooms very small. Lighting not good. Our room was across hall from staff room. Door opening and closing. Moo bucket left in hall by door.

Gothic design gets a little getting used to. Theres a plaster bird mounted on a wall which is off putting!
Rooms very small with poor views, but clean
Breakfast excellent and included in price.
Rooftop bar excellent with views of the acropolis
Location excellent for getting around central Athens and theres a department store for general shopping next door.
The hotel provides water and a small bottle of prosecco on arrival.
All things considered, excellent value for money.

We loved the Grand Suite!
4.1
Worst hotel. Besides the first day with the amazing gentleman, the service was bad. Rooms where super claustrophobic and small. Did laundry with them and they ruined all our clothes. Including asking for extra money because the laundry mat was closed. They sent my laundry to a different laundry mat without my consent, which cost more. They never communicated this with us. They said they called our room but we notified them we weren't there, they had our details yet never called, including email and mobile number. How can a laundry mat be closed when they where meant to be doing it through the hotel? Never staying here again.
Definitely don't recommend this place for anyone to stay. All you see is beggars and a mess outside.
Upstairs rooftop was so crap. I'm so glad I left for a whole day to Zakynthos, staying there for three days would of given me anxiety.

The Staff and Service was very attentive! My Suite was nice!

The staff were amazing and breakfast was awesome. The only issue was, I found the first room a bit tight, but then I was put in a more comfortable room.

One of the best hotels, we stayed in in the last time. New, clean rooms. Amazing variety of food during breakfast. Helpful staff. Great facilities
4.1
The positives - Friendly and helpful staff and a good buffet breakfast.
The negatives - We booked a "superior room" as the standard rooms looked to be a little small. It appears that to provide the additional space of a superior room they just give you 2 interconnecting rooms and remove the bed from one of them. Hence we had 2 bathrooms, 2 fridges, 2 safes etc but no more room between the sides of the bed and the wall. (Friends booked a standard room and commented that it was almost impossible to store their luggage). The decor used in the rooms (black doors, black woodwork, black bathroom furniture and dark colours for other surfaces) makes the room very gloomy. Room service was a little lacking with repeated requests to provide more tea bags and wash used cups going ignored. The in room fridges rattle so much that I started to unplug them before going to bed.
The hotel lifts are probably not fit for purpose. You will wait ages for a lift only to find it full when it arrives, you wait for the next one and then have the over weight alarm go off when other frustrated guests try to force their way in.
The location is "interesting". It's reasonably good for seeing the city. However, one wrong turn and you are quickly in homeless junkieville. In fact, do not be surprised to find homeless people sleeping on the pavement just outside of the hotel regardless of the time of day or night.
I would not stay here again and I would not recommend.
