They upgraded me to a room with a balcony. The rooms were clean and updated. The bathroom was also nice. The amenities provided in the bathroom were great as well. I took a scooter to places around the hotel. Plenty of transportation options available as well as restaurants. Can't go wrong at all.

Nice Hotel - Dodgy Area

Everything inside the hotel was excellent - clean comfortable room, good breakfast and facilities. Sadly what you don’t realise when booking is that the area around the hotel is very dodgy with plenty of suspicious characters. The local tube staff said this area the hotels are cheaper as no one wants to stay in this part of Athens. Take a taxi to the door and do not walk out at night
Rupert, 1-night trip

A great hotel with friendly staff and good sized rooms given its city centre location.

Great stay in Athens!

Front desk very friendly and kind, easy check-in procedure. Spacious room provided, clean and comfortable, with all the amenities (coffee machine, big TV). Offered an upgrade as well as extra water, a Greek bottle of wine and plate with fresh fruits!. Breakfast was delicious and tasty, with great variety of local products offered.

carlos, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall the hotel was nice, it was on the smaller side. They don't have face towels, which annoyed me, we had to use hand towels to wash our bodies. The area around the hotel is really ran down. Not aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
Shante, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel was really nice and super close to sights like the Acropolis and Museums. It is close to many food options, everything you need is in walking distance. The laundry facilities offered at the Hotel are outrageously expensive, but there is a laundry mat down the street. One thing to keep in mind, this hotel is not really in the safest area. Nights are noisy and there is crime. The hotel itself is nice and feels safe, just don't go out at night.

The rooms were comfortable but you can see dust building up in different places. Also, it is not in the safest of areas for female solo travelers. However the staff was wonderful super nice and very informative.
