Not a lot of details, sorry...just a very pleasant stay. Location in the Plaka; we walked all over Athens. Room was clean and efficient. Very quiet area. View from the rooftop of the Parthenon. My favorite thing was staff was very helpful. The day before checkout they were making sure we would get breakfast before we left.

Had a nice day here for one night in town before a ferry to an island! Had a nice balcony and comfortable beds. We arrived earlier than our check-in and we were able to store our luggage there throughout the day, which was very convenient. Great little neighborhood and very walkable to restaurants and shopping. Also, very walkable to the acropolis and other attractions.

Due to flights delays, we arrived at the hotel in the middle of the night. The person at the reception was courteous, clear and helpful. The room was small and the air conditioning was too cold, but it was very clean and quiet with a nice little terrace I cannot comment about the surrounding area, the service and the breakfast as we had to rush out of bed to catch our cruise ship. If I were to return to Athens, I would definitely go to this hotel again

Great location, every easy to go around to most of the important attractions. Front desk staff was very nice and friendly. We reached there around 8.30 am and were able to keep our bags and came back around 12pm, our room was ready. Breakfast was good, enough stuffs. Hop on bus stop is 5 minutes away. If we go there again we will stay there because of the location. and also recommend this hotel.

Good location for exploring the Plaka area of Athens and visiting the Acropolis. Liked that it was just a couple streets outside of the main tourist area. Great breakfast. Only one side of the hotel has Acropolis views, but I enjoyed our view of the city and rooftop restaurants.

Excellent breakfast buffet, I wish it would have opened earlier. I would stay there again and recommend to anyone going to the area. We were pleased with the quiet area.

A very nice, clean and friendly boutique hotel in an excellent location... you'll notice you are a 4 to 6 minute walk to most points of interest, while staying in a quiet area of town. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Really convenient location near the city centre and few minutes walk from the Parthenon and Acropolis museum.
The extra bed was on the small side but other than that room was good size.

Staff was welcoming and helpful. Elevator was crazy and did not accommodate well but other than that the property was good and in a good area. Tneir sister property has an amazing rooftop bar that they told us about that made our whole trip to Athens wonderful.

The hotel staff was great, location perfect, breakfast was very good but could use a bit more variety… such as fried eggs or soft boiled instead of hard boiled and scrambled every day, etc.. but what they had was very good. Beds were comfortable and the pillows too. This was very important to me as I recently had a total hip replacement and will be having total knee replacement surgery back to back over the next few months. Hotel was very clean and the coffee and tea station in the lobby was always enjoyed and appreciated. It would be nice if they had an on-site restaurant or sandwich area that served Greek coffee or beverages. The only thing I am unsure about is our room, I had booked a superior room with hopes of having a balcony with chairs and a table to sit and have coffee at. We did have a balcony but it was not big enough or have any seating or a table so I’m not sure we were given the room we actually reserved. We were delayed by a day on arrival due to the Athens/Greece transportation strike so we arrived at 3:00-3:30 in the morning the next day. Regardless it was a good room and we will be staying there again as we go regularly and still have family and friends there. I also booked a separate room (standard) for my daughter and her boyfriend as we took them as a Christmas present to see where her grandparents (my parents) came from and to meet that side of our family. Their room was wonderful! They also loved the breakfast, coffee/tea station, staff and amenities.

The hotel was clean and the staff very well. We had been delayed due to the transportation strike so we didn’t arrive until after 3:00am I am unsure if we received the room we were supposed to have. Overall we will definitely stay here again. Breakfast was very good but could use a bit more variety. The location is excellent. Hotel is very clean.
