L'emplacement, idéal au pied de l'Acropole. Le roof top, magique!
Pas BC de place pour poser ses affaires dans la salle de bain, pas de sèche cheveux

The location is excellent.
The washroom is tiny. The shower drain is not strategically placed, therefore the water drains into the washroom floor.

Great location: the hotel is in the heart of the Plaka area, close to the Acropolis, the Metro and restaurants. This was our second stay at the hotel for our return trip home after island hopping. During this stay we had breakfast in the rooftop dining area which is a great deal for € 10.00 per person. Breakfast is buffet style with scrambled eggs, sausage, bread (toast), ham, cheese, cereal, yogurt, juice, coffee and cakes.
Our room was very small with a full-size bed with a mattress that was too soft and saggy. During our first stay had two twin beds and which was larger. I recommend getting a room with two twin beds if possible. There are some nice larger rooms with a private terrace on the front (street side) of the hotel for larger groups of people.

The hotel is in a great location, in Plaka wedged in between all the Greek ruins sites and near the new museum. Restaurants and shopping are just outside the building. The room itself is pretty spacious, and the hotel staff were very accommodating with our request for a room with three beds. The hotel seems unusually affordable for this combination of location and service.
The bathroom is a bit small, and the shower in particular might be too small for larger guests. One member of the cleaning staff was a bit rude for unknown reasons. The wi-fi service was also not great.

Location, location, location. The location of the hotel is perfect. Within walking distance of some of the main sights and many of the restaurants situated on the picturesque side streets of the Plaka district. The Metro station and the entrance gate to the Acropolis are approx 100m away. The rooftop bar is overlooked by the Acropolis which provides a great backdrop especially as the daylight begins to fade and it is lit up. Being located on a popular street to access the craft and souvenir shops it is a lively area throughout the day.
Nothing.

The staff and the location are amazing.
Mold on the walls and ceiling of the room. The shower cabin is leaking water, so every time you shower, the whole bathroom is full of water. When you leave your hotel room, you have to leave the key with the staff at the front desk, which can be annoying to ask for your key every time you come back inside. The walls could be painted again. There are a lot of patches on the walls that make it look unattractive. The next-door neighbors were smoking in their room, so the whole common space reeked.

brilliant location, so easy to get to. perfectly acceptable as a base for a short stay in Athens. comfortable beds, warm and quiet. The staff were helpful and very welcoming.
it took an inordinate amount of time to get any warm water through but when it did it was really hot. And the shower head had no bracket to hold it (I only used it once as I was staying 2 nights so it wasn’t a big deal.

Expecting me on time
Bed bugs on the bed. I was told that the bites could be allergy but after showing them the photos I was told they never had that before and I brought them with me. Something that obviously I couldn’t argue. I left the place a week before I should. Not asking for repayment. Hopefully I didn’t get any with me. From now on, don’t accept they don’t know.

location, good breakfast
3.0
the location only. The front desk staff person (owners son) was rude and ignored you
The check in process was horrible.. the owners son checked us in and basically threw the paperwork at us, grunted and handed us the key with the breakfast hours. Later we discovered that you had to get the AC remote and hair dryer from the reception desk - something the “son” didn’t mention. the room was nothing like it looked online. the bathroom was horrible - no attachment for the shower handle, the toilet was dirty and it was super cramped. No safe deposit box in the room but the son told us we could lock our stuff in his fathers drawer??? 🤷🏻♀️. The breakfast was horrible… little selection and looked as though it had been sitting out for days - we made our booking with the breakfast included and they tried to charge us for it at the end of the stay. They did come and clean the room, but failed to leave toilet paper - thank heavens we always bring some “emergency rolls”! Tje “Acropolis view was there, but barely - with a “shanty town” right below. Overall would not recommend this hotel - it is severely over priced for what they offer!!!!

Whenever we come to Athens we stay here. Easy access to metro from airport. Nice breakfast and view of Acropolis. Plaka and monastriaki shirt walk.
All good here

Location was perfect for what I was after
Shower was terrible, hand held shower use only could not be set up to stand under it.
Also the drain was not appropriate for the shower I had to unblock it myself even after that, the hole was so small it caused the shower to flood the bathroom each time.
Also was told about breakfast and believed it was included only to find out at check out I had to pay for it.

Location fantastic, breakfast basic but good
Can you put a hook so the shower can be hung up so you can wash your body properly?
