This hotel is walkable to the shopping and tourist area, and into the Acropolis and other sites. It's modern and comfortable, well air conditioning, and the rooms are really super clean. Our room had a view of the acropolis that was lit up at night. The rooftop dining also with a view of the acropolis lit up, was very good food, and a very decent price. We pre-booked a taxi from the airport, and then again from the hotel to the cruise ship terminal, and paid for it before we left the states We received confirmation and there was no problem there whatsoever. We were there one night before our cruise. It was a great place to stay, the hosts were cordial and permitted us to rest in the lobby till our room was ready, as we had a very early flight and check-in wasn't until 3 o'clock, however, when the room was done at 1:30 regained admittance. The complementary breakfast had many delicious items, and the bakery items were home baked, I saw the woman making them myself. Totally adequate food, clean, and nice and plenty of diversity!

Excellent area and nice decor with great view options of the Acropolis in selected rooms. The breakfast was good with plenty of options and some daily changes. Only suggestion would be I think it would be idea if guests staying at the hotel were afforded a small discount at the rooftop bar.

The view from the hotel room of the Acropolis was amazing, but the room was extremely small and was not big enough for two people with 4 pieces of luggage. It was difficult to even move in the bathroom. Room was on the 6th floor and a private party was going on until 1 am on the rooftop terrace right above the room which was extremely loud. Also no access to the rooftop restaurant because of such party which is a highlight of booking the hotel in the first place as we were only staying one night. Additionally, at one point we had to wait in the lobby for 30 minutes before we could get into the elevator to go to our room since the people from the private party were taking turns to use the elevator to get to 7th floor due to small elevator size. Some good things are complimentary water bottles and small fridge, hotel view of the Acropolis, hotel location, and free late check out. The free late checkout was much appreciated and staff was nice about accommodating. Also, free breakfast was nice.

The property is central to great shopping, restaurants and next to the Plaka. Wonderful view of the Acropolis at sunset from the roof top restaurant- the food was delicious and priced accordingly. Would definitely stay again We had a room facing the back, rooms are small but clean. Only negative is the bathroom door is a glass shower door, kind of weird.Breakfast buffet has lots of choices, and great coffee choices 😊

Walking to distance to everything...

Great location, Terrace Restaurant has one of the best views in the city of the Acropolis. My only gripe is the smell of wet in the bathroom.
