The location is excellent. I was close to souvenir shopping in the Plaka District. I also found the 24-hour concierge staff to be useful. Taxis could easily be accessed a block away on the major street.

The location was acceptable, really. It's close to a major street. i could easily hail a cab.

the room, oh, it was small. with more than one suitcase, i struggled for space. there was a balcony though, overlooking a church, so no direct sun in the afternoons. how sad.

small roomunhelpful staff

The room i got was smaller than i expected from the photos, frustrating. It felt cramped. the shower was really tiny too. A larger person would have had trouble moving around in it. the staff wasn't particularly helpful when i asked about nearby attractions. I had to figure most things out on my own.

very nice locationromantic balconyfriendly staffsafe front

The location was very nice, just a short walk to the acropolis (perfect for evening strolls). our room had a balcony where i could see the acropolis. It reminded me of a dream. the staff was very friendly and helpful with directions and suggestions. i especially appreciated the 24-hour front desk. It.

the shower was a little small, but it didn't detract from the overall experience.

The location was unbeatable. it made exploring the major landmarks straightforward, we appreciated its central position. Our room was kept spotlessly clean, an aspect we found commendable.

The shower was unusually small. it was difficult to move comfortably. the room lacked soundproofing. Noises from the corridor were easily audible.
