Lovely hotel with a really lovely rooftop pool however area extremely lets this hotel down. Very run down and lots of undesirable characters roaming around. Not safe to walk home at night. Felt unsafe and on edge whilst outside this hotel. Was even warned about the area by the local taxi driver.

We have stayed here multiple times.. we went from loving it to never going back. The staff was amazing and the hotel was clean but the food was unedible.. The so-called breakfast was canned food. You couldn’t even look at it let alone eat it. Our dinner experience at The rooftop cloud 9. Restaurant, they have absolutely no business calling fried frozen mozzarella balls saga Ali..

The hotel itself was very nice, clean, pool was beautiful. Food was great room a little small. The area around the hotel, a little sketch, not much to see or do. Would recommend taking the train to the Plaka, lots of shops, dining options, along with nice views of the Acropolis. Dine at Kuzino if possible. Excellent!!! Reserve the rooftop.

Beautiful hotel with amazing rooftop. The views from the rooftop were incredible. The pool is nice but it was really crowded. The restaurant was very good. The rooms were spotless and modern. The metro is right outside the hotel which is nice because there isn’t much around the hotel. The free buffet breakfast was amazing. So many choices. We would definitely go back again.

We only stayed 1 night; it was convenient and clean. We tried using the rooftop pool but the water was freezing cold (Aug'25) so we didn't stay in for long. It was also super crowded. The bar and restaurant were nice and the food was good. Overall a good hotel to stay in.

Stanley (Kubrick??) - Seen better days

This hotel sadly doesn’t match up with the pictures or the write up. It’s very tired, and the rude staff on the desk at arrival didn’t set a good tone. Breakfast was crazy on the top floor restaurant and didn’t offer much variety. Sorry to say but we won’t call again.
