The hotel's location proved very convenient. I found that it was an easy walk to the Acropolis. The staff members were helpful with directions. I also enjoyed the lounge on the top floor, it featured a view of the Acropolis.

The bathroom felt small and outdated. I noticed the coffee and tea supplies were missing from my room. The air conditioning in my room lacked a thermostat.
