Liked the grounds of hotel & that’s about it. Not a pleasant experience. Room was very mediocre. Very noisy HCAC unit that kept waking us up for three nights. Poor breakfast. Overpriced for what we got. Should have booked somewhere else.

Overall, this is a great historic property, but it is in definite need of upgrades. It says it is a 4-star hotel; I would say 3 stars at best. Def should not be a VIP propery. The room window units did not keep the room cool enough. It was a very wet cool too. The room smelled of mildew when we came in. Not a pleasant greeting! The sheets felt like mainly polyester, which kind of made the moist air that much more unpleasant. Pillows were very thick. There was no air on in our second room, so it was miserably hot on arrival. Bathrooms need a deep clean/updating. The staff was nice. The $12 parking fee with no notice is ridiculous for guests to pay.

Fantastic spot, will absolutely be booking again next time I'm staying in Athens. Our only complaint was that the mirrors were up too high for my short friend!
