I was really surprised by the hotel's proximity to major attractions. It's just a short walk to the acropolis. the staff was very friendly and helpful. i found the room to be very clean and the air conditioning worked well which was a plus.
The noise from the street was pretty loud. The windows didn't block it well. it was difficult to sleep some nights.
