Hotel room small & basic, but central, & ok for 1 night. Breakfast was very good, though the bacon was raw, barely cooked. Sadly the biggest flaw was that the aircon was tirally inadequate, barely cool at its lowest setting & with the highest fan on. In Athens temperatures of 34-36°, I expected far more effectiveness. It was uncomfortably warm overnight, so no good for getting any restful sleep.

Nice boutique, family owned hotel. In a quiet area with short walk to the beach and restaurants. Hostess was very friendly and helpful with arranging transportations. Good place to stay if you want a low key hotel without pool or other amenities.
