The location was super handy! it was so easy to get to from the airport using the syntagma connection. plus, i had amazing views from the roof, a total bonus! my single room was clean and modern. It had a water in the fridge too!
the staff at breakfast was a disaster. they were talking loudly amongst themselves while breakfast was not served. there was no chill music in the breakfast spot and it was cold. i was under the impression that the staff couldn't care less about their customers and wanted them out as fast as possible.

i found the location convenient. it was a short walk to syntagma square and the parliament building. many restaurants and shops were nearby. i particularly appreciated the proximity to the express bus stop, simplifying my airport transfers.
The noise insulation in my room on the second floor wasn't ideal. I could sometimes hear ventilation pipes.
