Welcoming & Accommodating Hotel

Beautiful facility a bit off the busier streets. The staff was welcoming and accommodating from the moment we arrived (early) until we left the next morning (also very early). The view and service in the restaurant were top notch! Would definitely recommend.

Our favourite night spot in Athens

Whist the lobby is extremely busy especially in the morning and noon time, it is nice and spacious a a comfortable place to lounge around. They have added an extension since our previous visit 10 years ago, and this includes a ~120 seater restaurant with collapsible full height glass walls, inside and outside seating, offering a fabulous view of the Acropolis. A great place to be whether it is for breakfast, dinner or just evening drinks!

The service from all hotel staff was excellent! The concierge during all shifts were efficient, courteous and professional. We were a three generation family of 6 and the hotel arranged 3 different tours for us on the spot. The guides and drivers for all tours were excellent. When we arrived our youngest member, 10 years old, was sick and needed medical attention. The hotel arranged for a doctor to come to the room. We were able to get the needed medications and he bounced back a day later. Thank you!

The staff was very accommodating and couldn’t be more friendly. The breakfast was outstanding in every way. Fresh pastries, fresh bread, eggs cooked to order, fruit, juices, coffee, everything imaginable they had and more. The pool is on the small side but it was very refreshing. It was hot so lots of patrons using the pool. Pool staff friendly and efficient. Lots of restaurants and cafes and bakeries nearby within walking distance.

Our room was nice and the bed very comfortable. The restaurant has a stunning view of the Acropolis. We found the music a little intrusive. We booked our table for 9:30 and were delighted to get a table as had been recommended to eat there. Unforunately we did not get our meal until 10:45. They were apologetic and gave us a free dessert. The lamb was a little fatty. I feel for the standard of the hotel the food was disappointing. Breakfast was good, with an excellent selection. The pool is great, again with a stunning view, but it was crowded and there is little shade.
