“This hotel offers a budget-conscious base in a prime location, steps away from affordable cafes and restaurants; I appreciate its proximity to the Metaxourghio metro stop, making city exploration straightforward. While some may find aspects dated, its neoclassical bones and family-friendly setup appealed to me. It's a practical choice, especially for travelers prioritizing location and value.”
