The service at this Hotel was above and beyond from first contact until we left. They arranged our pick up from the airport to the Hotel but what made it top level service was while we were in the car they called the driver to make sure we had been picked up. Every interaction was above normal level of service and made us feel like the only guest at the hotel/VIP's. When I go back to Athens this hotel will be my first choice.

Location of hotel was excellent to all the main attractions however I felt the hotel was over priced. The rooms were tired looking and as for the restaurant “senses” i ordered room service as I had been up since 6am fo fly from Crete to Athens. The mushroom risotto was disappointing too salty and not worth the money. Anna was really helpful and stood out but the rest of the staff looked unhappy and miserable. Over priced hotel for what I got so won’t be back in November.

Amazing boutique hotel in fabulous location

Fabulous location - short walk to all the sites and in centre of the old town restaurants and shops. The view of the Acropolis from the restaurant for breakfast or dinner was stunning and all the staff were excellent. Had the tasting menu one evening - amazing presentation and flavours. Breakfast was ordered from a wide selection of dishes all freshly prepared and served to the table rather than buffet style. Delicious.
