City break in Athens

Nice hotel, right next door to Metaxourghio metro so very useful for getting around. The rooftop bar (lovely attentive staff) and pool is amazing what a joy in a city centre. Breakfast is on the top floor so you have a lovely cityscape to enjoy, the staff are very pleasant and helpful. Our only complaint was that at this time of year the a/c is not on so the room was stifling so much that we did not sleep for the two nights. In addition, our room was also facing directly on Karasikaki Sq which, which is very busy and noisy all day and night with vehicles, so if you need ventilation you just can’t due to the noise. If the door is closed you can’t hear a thing. This isn’t necessarily a complaint and we didn’t take it up with the hotel just a real problem for us. Would we stay again, probably, but we would ask to be facing toward the square.

A must-stay with incredible food and service

TLDR - a must stay for anyone visiting Athens with some of the best service we’ve ever experienced, as a couple who travel weekly with work in the UK. Stunning acropolis views from the rooftop bar/pool/restaurant too! Incredible service - some of the most polite, friendly and personal service I’ve ever experienced in a hotel. The staff went above and beyond to share their vast expertise with us and make our trip feel incredibly special. hotel was incredibly clean, modern and smart - gorgeous roof top restaurant/bar and lovely pool and sunbathing area. The room was very smart and clean too. The restaurant was excellent - so good that we ate there 2/3 nights. The prices were very reasonable (vs London!) and the food incredibly flavoursome and varied. Would particularly recommend the sushi combo plate for 2! Staff were again very knowledgeable and recommended lovely bottles of local wine, whilst maintaining attentive and friendly service. Breakfast had a wide selection of cooked and cold options, couldn’t fault it. Only slight complaint was that the room was too hot - we couldn’t work out how to cool it down. I suspect it was due to the transition between winter and summer for the central heating system - one to speak to reception about if visiting in the summer. 25/23 couple from London who travel weekly for work, looking for a mix of sightseeing and a nice hotel to relax in.

Very well run hotel with super helpful staff. The rooms are a little uneven: our vip room is adequate in size, but another room we stayed later is small, especially the shower size might be too small for half of typical American tourists. So we recommend pay a bit more to stay in a bigger room.

If we ever go back to Athens we will definitely stay here again. It was an excellent location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We arrived from Istanbul around 12pm and check in was a 3pm but they gave us the room early that was a plus!! They have the best roof restaurant/bar in town looking towards the Acropolis, amazing view. All staff are very friendly and we felt very welcoming. Great walking distance to many restaurants and coffee shops as well as supermarkets.

Dream birthday trip to Greece

This hotel was lovely, from check-in to check-out! Our room was very comfortable and had an awesome view of the Acropolis from our balcony. The breakfast buffet was very tasty and constantly replenished and had a wide variety of items (could use an extra coffee machine, as there was always a line). The front desk staff was amazingly helpful, always! They even arranged a birthday cake for my birthday! The location was good in central Athens and steps away from a Metro station. I was a bit disappointed that the weather was a little cool for me to try out the beautiful rooftop pool. My only criticism would be the overhead noise from the restaurant above (we were on 8th floor, restaurant on 9th floor).....there was pretty frequent noise from chairs being moved from about 6am to midnight. Otherwise it was perfect and we would absolutely stay there again.

Stayed here 5 nights end March. Lovely hotel, friendly staff and located right next to a metro stop. Shops and restaurants nearby but we tended to go into the centre as it was so convenient. Used the hotel bar most evenings when we got back….great rooftop views. Breakfast was very nice with a decent selection. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Athens.
