“This hotel's greatest strength is its location, nearly within touching distance of the Acropolis Museum and close to all the shops and restaurants, according to many opinions. The complimentary breakfast, certified by the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels, is a genuine highlight. I think that the friendly staff and rooftop patio with Acropolis views will leave a good memory.”
