solid stay with acropolis views
comfortable loungersdiverse breakfastexcellent foodrundown area
i appreciated the rooftop pool a lot it had comfortable loungers and a fine view of the acropolis. the breakfast buffet was diverse with many options for different diets and preferences. the metro station was conveniently close making it easy to explore different areas. the rooftop restaurant provided excellent food and drinks at sunset.
the area surrounding the building looked a bit rundown and didn't feel entirely safe especially during the evening hours. this made me rely more on taxis or the metro even for short distances. i would have preferred a more appealing environment right outside the hotel.
