Good location marred by noise level

Pros: Excellent location close to shops and Monastiraki metro station. Cons: The balcony door and window had no sound proofing at all ( room no 12 ). Right below it there are a few restaurants and the noise continued until the wee hours of the night. We couldn't get a wink of sleep. This is something the owners need to address on an urgent basis.

The bedroom was so so small for 3 people and the shower is way too small every move your body gets stuck on the shower curtain. The aircon works well though. At night it can be noisy outside but since it’s centrally located near downtown it’s fine.

One of my better choices

A small hotel. I had a moment of hesitation when I realized that the hotel and rooms were rather dated. But then I was surrounded by such a friendly and helpful staff, that I was glad I made reservations here. And the view from my balcony was absolutely stunning. I would return here.

Great View and Location

The location is excellent for travellers, on the edge of trendy Plaka district on Mitreopolis St, which has vehicle access. We walked easily to the Acropolis, lively Monastiriki, ancient Roman and Athenian Agora, Syntagma Square. Metro stations at Monastiriki and Syntagma Square. No need to walk to Plaka to eat. The restaurants nearby including one adjoining the hotel, served delicious meals, as did Meat the Greek around the corner. The Acropolis view from our room and balcony was a delight by day and night. We loved the sunshine on our south facing windows and balcony. Our room overlooked a leafy square and the main Orthodox church of Athens. Its bell tolling the hour and half hour did not wake us but may disturb light sleepers. Our room was clean and maintained very well during our stay. It had a frig, air-conditioning and TV. The bed was comfortable but the other furnishings were sparse and a little shabby. Liquid and solid soap provided, no other toiletries. A kettle is provided on request. We borrowed cups from the breakfast buffet and used our own tea and coffee. Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace (E8pp) accessed by elevator and one flight of stairs. The bakery across Mitreolopos St serves fabulous croissants and other delights. Reception is staffed 24/7 by friendly, helpful staff. There is a small elevator. There are two steep steps without handrail to reception and a short flight of stairs to the elevator.

Well-priced, convenient, clean

The picture is what I saw from my balcony and the roottop terrace where they serve an excellent breakfast for 8 euros. Well-priced. Great location, 10 min walk straight up the street to the airport bus; more but walkable to the Acropolis and other major sites. Very clean and modernized. Easy to walk past but it's directly across from the largest basilica so easy to find again by sighting the dome. Only downsides: noisy because of the church bells and street noise (at least on a Saturday night) and difficult steps to the elevator which only has three walls--lots of trip hazards because of beautiful but creative flooring in an old building. Not up to modern American building codes, in other words.
