Hotel is clean and the room was perfect. The location is not beautiful but it is safe. There is a lot of abandoned buildings and this make the neighborhood feel unsafe. However, the location is perfect close to Plaka and all main historical places. The 8th floor has a perfect view of the Acropolis.
4.6
The hotel is in a good location although surroundings are quite run down. The interior ist not very nice, but rooms are ok, beds comfortable. Reception very friendly, a highlight is the rooftop bar with splendid view of the Akropolis, although service here is very basic 19 out of 20 wines were not available..
Breakfast is in a cafe 5 minutes apart at a lively crossing with a good choice of set menus, oddly they let you ask every morning for the vouchers instead of giving them to you at check-in.
Price rather high for what you get.

A good hotel but not in a great location. The hotel is in a sketchy location - it’s nice overall but would stay somewhere more central.

4.6
I stayed for one night, it was fine but very sketchy area, also the staff sent me FOUR times message tell me the check out was at 11am very annoying
4.6
We had a really nice stay here with a fabulous balcony where we could see Acropolis and had a beautiful sunset.
We had to walk a short way to get to the main areas for tourism or restaurants. There was one street that was unlit at night but we did not feel unsafe.
4.6
The rooftop bar cross the street and having super loud noise till 1:00AM, ruins whole experience
4.6
The staff are nice. There are many restaurants around. You can walk to many tour sites. From the top of the building, you can see beautiful Athens. The main issue is a nearby building is quite noisy - there are parties on the top every evening. A minor issue the hotel doesn't provide small face towels.

Very good hotel

Horrible area. Dangerous specially at night. On one side of the avenue is the fish market , my view was an old wrecked , abandoned buildings and graffiti all around.
A nightmare! At night around 3 am we had people yelling and screaming . The staff didn’t do anything to stop it.
4.6
Older part of town. A lot of graffiti. NO EASY TRANSPORTATION FOR 5 people. Taxis only transport 4 people

When checking out the manager didn’t realize that I understood Greek and made a nasty comment. Not appreciated.
4.6
Our stay was fantastic. The team upgraded our room upon check in from a Junior Suite to a Suite Terrace Acropolis View which really just made our stay all the more special. The staff were lovely and housekeeping were very efficient. The rooftop bar was a really lovely addition, and the staff were on hand to give recommendations of drinks. The hotel is in a great location, close to both metro stations and a fab selection of amenities. The acropolis was only a 30-40 min walk away.
Other reviews have mentioned the noise levels from the roof top bar/club which is opposite the hotel. Whilst there was some noise, it wasn’t anything that negatively impacted our experience - the noise stopped at about 11pm (we stayed Fri-Sun nights). A lot of Athens can be loud around the same times due to the vibrant night life so don’t let it put you off!
Would absolutely love to come back and stay again, and will be recommending to others!

Really enjoyed our stay
4.6
Clean and modern rooms, great view from the rooftop bar
4.6
I would stay at this hotel again. The building and rooms are clean. The staff are accommodating. The location is excellent for walking to the historic sites a visitor would want to see. Due to ancient buildings decaying across the street, at first sight, the neighborhood looks off-putting, but it is actually a great location to visit Athens
4.6
Super cute rooms, beautiful rooftop view, walkable to Acropolis, dining and shopping. Super nice and attentive staff. Will be my recommendation for others traveling to Athens!
4.6
The hotel is very nice, clean, with a very friendly staff. The breakfast at a nearby restaurant was good and copious. The rooms are spacios and the view from the 7th floor is magnificent.
The main negative is the couple blocks around the hotel that look like a dystopian, dirty and decrepit. Once you walk more than 2 blocks, it gets better.
Another negative is the loud music that comes from the rooftop clubs in the surrounding buildings and is hard to avoid.
Overall, this is a very good choice for Athens, might not be best if you travel with children.

It has potential.

Great hotel- seems quite newly renovated & everything was comfortable & clean. The rooftop is unreal with a perfect view of the Acropolis & Parthenon. We had a room with terrace & acropolis view- worth it! We had so much space we didn’t know what to do (not your typical European hotel room). When we first arrived it was a little challenging to find the door because there’s a couple restaurants on either side & tables on the sidewalk that we had to negotiate thru, but the sign for the hire was pretty visible. If you turn left out of the hotel & go down a few blocks the neighborhood looks quite rough but we did not have any issues (we also did not go where it looked a little less welcoming). There is a rooftop bar close by that plays loud house music (we enjoyed listening from our terrace & even ventured over for a taste of the Greek party scene), but they closed by about 1am so it wasn’t something that kept us from getting some sleep. (Maybe bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper, my husband had no problem falling & staying asleep). Staff was helpful & kind. Great spot overall & easy to walk to neighboring sites & restaurants.
4.6
Great hotel, in a cool area. Friendly staff, spacious modern rooms. Location very walkable to main tourist sights too. Would stay again.
4.6
All I’m going to say is that I wish I had read the negative reviews prior to booking here.
While a modern hotel, surrounding area isn’t the best. Staff not the most helpful or accommodating
4.6
This hotel is beautiful and the staff are amazing, HOWEVER it is impossible to sleep here due to the nightly music and noise from the rooftop patio next door that goes all the way into the morning. Either they need soundproof doors or the rooftop patio needs to turn it down a notch because we could literally feel the bass while on the balcony from our room.
This place is surrounded by abandoned buildings, however we felt safe walking through in the evening. Super convenient to the central market.
4.6
Excellent!
4.6
When we arrived internet was not available so we were not informed the hotel had parking and we parked at the pay parking
Also nobody told us that for breakfast we need vouchers but next day we got internet so we got all information
Otherwise we were very pleased with hotel
I would recommend that hotel
The staff at the hotel was very friendly and helpful
The staff at the cafe for breakfast was not very friendly but the food was good
Thanks !
4.6
Super friendly hotel staff! Close in proximity to all the great restaurants, shopping and acropolis.
4.6
The hotel itself is newly refurbished and lovely, very clean and the staff were very responsive and friendly. I have nothing but great things to say about the hotel itself. The room was very large. We had a sitting room, living room and bedroom with double balcony. The view from the living room window was the Acropolis. (Not the view from the balcony.) But it was great.
Sadly all the things that we didnt like about the stay were nothing to do with the actual hotel. Its located just outside the cute market area, where all the rest of buildings have yet to be fixed. Its quite a rough block or two. There is also a roof top patio across the street that played music until 1am both evenings (wed & thur eve) by the 2nd night I knew I could never stay a 3rd. It was just so loud.
We tried to get our complimentary breakfast which was provided by a restaurant about 3 min walk but after waiting 50 min we had to leave for our Acropolis tour. I ended up buying 2 bananas from a vendor in the market on our way. The 2nd morning we didnt dare try our luck again but went to a restaurant just past them and had a great breakfast. Half the time and the 24€ it was worth not stressing if we would miss our flight or not by having to wait.
Again, the hotel itself was great, unfortunately its surrounding areas and collaboration with the restaurant, that let it down.
4.6
Great, helpful staff

Good hotel in a central location - can recommend!
4.6
Great hotel! Amazing views. Spacious rooms and extra spacious balconies! Couldn’t be happier with this choice. The shower had a door leading to the patio which made romantic showers and views extra special. The neighbouring hotel had music blaring until around midnight which we thoroughly enjoyed. We ended up having a little party on our balcony instead of going out. Loved it. Huge mini fridge, comfy bed, amazing robes and slippers! The only downside was the area seemed a little sketch when we first got there but ended up being great. Walkable to everything and free parking on the street. The restaurant below the hotel was always packed so you def felt safe! Can’t wait to visit again!
4.6
Hotel Staff is very nice and they have a very good way to communicate via WhatsApp and email. The property is not in the best neighbourhood, but it is quite at night and safe. Don’t be scared when you arrive, it is a safe area.
