In a prime location, the room was clean and the decor was beautiful. The staff was attentive and the breakfast and lunch were phenomenal. The only downside was the dinner at Sense was disappointing. If you are visiting Athens- this is the hotel you need to stay at!

Checking in after traveling for 14 hours, all I wanted to do was go to the rooftop Restaraunt/bar, have a drink and look at the sites. I was advised it was closed due to a bridal shower, but could order room service which I chose as I was too tired to go out. Wanting to make a reservation for the rooftop Restaraunt, I was provided a menu that had two 8-course set meals staring at $100 euros. I simply wanted a nice dinner, glass of wine and again, enjoy the views. But did not want to spend $100+ euros on a simple meal. That’s a deal-breaker for many travelers. I won’t be suggesting or staying there again.

Well my wife and I ware overjoyed when we saw the property. First it’s a boutique hotel. Room, bathroom were perfect. The Terrace was the big hit. Big and a beautiful view of the acropolis and overlooking the Main Street. Every staff that we encountered or if we needed assistance was very accommodating. Breakfast was very good. The big plus of this place was the location. Right in the center to all the main attractions and the shops and restaurants. The area is the Plaka district. Excellent. If we ever go back to Athens. We will definitely stay here again.

The location was absolutely amazing! As soon as we arrived, the front staff service was fabulous. Very welcoming, attentive, helpful and kind! Given a map of the area, luggage was kept so that we were able to tour around while our room was prepped, a lovely ice tea drink served. Just great! Room is clean and modern. Only wish there was a bathtub and that we could turn up the volume of the tv just a bit. Car transportation to the airport was arranged for us. Just a great property and again, super front staff! Thank you!!!
