to get started.

A conveniently located hotel to the hustle and bustle of Monastiraki Square. We had an extra bed in our room for our son, which fitted snugly into the room - albeit a bit tight between the end of the bed and the cabinet housing the fridge and TV. The bathroom was a good size - with easy access into the combined bath/shower. The buffet breakfast had a good selection and there was a lovely lounge area on the ground floor where you could sit out of the heat of the day if you didn't want to be in your room. Great view from the roof top terrace but simply too hot to be out there without shade (and ideally fans or air-conditioning).

Very nice and helpful staff, very clean room and nice common area, good breakfast with wide selection, perfect location a few steps from Monastiraki, Plaka and the Acropolis.

David, Israel

Great location. Not easy to find but once you are there it was really quiet in the middle of Athens

Suzanne, United Kingdom

Hotel is very close to Motasiraki square, which is an excellent location to reach many sites by just walking 15-30 min. The staff speaks good English and very willing to help

Eranp, Israel

The view of the Acropolis from the Rooftop Garden.

Wintress, United States of America

near the acropoli (15 min walking) bar,caffé, resturant, metro next to hotel. staff is kind and helpfull. The room was clean. safe neighborhood. Direct connection to the airport by metro. Perfect hotel for a weekend and to visit the center walking

Flaminia, Italy

View of Acropolis from rooftop. Simple hotel with no frills so was OK for an off- season cultural trip to Athens. Metro close by as were stops for hop on/ hop off buses which are a good way of getting the layout of the city. Nearby streets have some good cafes and restaurants to try while the flea market and a street of restaurants facing Acropolis/ Temple of Hephastus was lovely as they are outdoors with heaters in evenings.

Garry, United Kingdom

The view from our hotel room and terrace on 7th floor was magnificent!

Birgitta, United Arab Emirates

Great access to lots of fun places in the city as well as major tourist attractions.

“Central hotel right in the heart of Athens.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Standard Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The price per night was high for what you got - 230 euro per night. However it was the beginning of the peak season and very centrally located in the heart of Athens. Comparable hotels (room size, location, facilities) in Thessaloniki and on the islands were cheaper. There was no shade on the roof top terrace - which had an amazing view of the Acropolis. This is an easy fix and one I suggest the hotel installs so guests can enjoy the amazing view - especially as the hotel advertises the view. Directly in front of the hotel running alongside the church is a street that I wouldn't recommend people walk down at night - there were some unsavory characters lurking around when we were there. However the hotel is merely one block (to the left as you exit the hotel) to the main street that leads to Monastiraki Square or . . . if you turn right as you exit the hotel then one block to the right there is a lovely strip of tavernas and cafes that come alive at night in summer.

눇We had missed our flight from Athens to Santorini, so we had to book a last minute hotel for the night. This hotel was fine for one night. The room was tiny but we had a nice view of the Acropolis. The staff was very helpful telling us dinner suggestions and ordering us a cab. We were steps away from a little town that had a ton of restaurants.

눉We thought it was a little strange that a couple on their honeymoon (that's us!) were given a room with two twin beds, both with different levels so they couldn't even be pushed together. This is despite specifically booking a double room. Bathroom had paint falling off in parts, and the shower constantly sprayed water on the floor.
눇The staff were helpful enough, and let us check in early .

“Great hidden gem”

- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉While not the hotel's fault, the neighborhood was noisy until 2am with the music next door and also from conflicting music blasting from a mysterious storefront cafe on a tiny street by the hotel. Crowds of young people gathered on the street outside of that bar until 2:00 am. We never figured out the attraction. There was no indoor seating and everyone just sat on the filthy curbs. Hmm.
눇The included breakfast was great. Lots of choices: Greek salad ingredients--olives, feta, peppers cucumbers, dill beans, tomatoes; deli selections; yoghurt with choice of fruit, seeds, honey; pasties. The location was great. It's in an old neighborhood very close to sites. There's a lovely restaurant/bar next door where saw musicians perform for locals and travelers (not a tourist place at all). The neighborhood seemed a bit scruffy, but I felt safe all the time, even late night. People were out late walking around or spilling out of bars and restaurants. There is graffiti everywhere, but it is more like art or political statements than gang territory markers. We had a sweet view of the Acropolis from our room. There is a roof top terrace to enjoy. The rooms were nice with A/C as needed. Everything was up to date. TV had local channels and BBC news, DW(German/American, and Euro 5 (French). The hotel has a beautiful reception room that is furnished in new mid-century modern style.

눉Was a normal nice quality hotel just lacking character like all normal modern hotels. Some people might not find the area so pleasant, street is a little run down. But seemed perfectly safe to me.
눇Location on a quiet street just out of very busy and popular hipster bar and restaurant area. 5 mins walk to taxi rank and metro stop. 10/15 mins walk to centre of Plaka and Acropolis entrance. Top floors have acropolis views and over look old church but no balcony. Clean comfortable and modern. Helpful and pleasant staff and decent breakfast.

눉Stayed at this hotel 2 years ago and was happy. This time was given a very small room below the roof garden and when this was watered, soil and water from above were deposited on our balcony. As we left our balcony door ajar several mosquitos found there way into the room and we spent an uncomfortable night. Should have complained at the time but as was only one night stay did not bother. Furnishings beginning to look a little tired. Felt was not good value for price paid.
눇Good location near Monastiraki metro. Balcony with views of Acropolis. Near to bars and restaurants in Psirri. Clean bathroom and reasonably comfortable beds. Very good breakfast selection.
