Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
staff at hotel was super helpful with everything and super nice! They’ve helped us with arranging the ferry to island which was our next destination. And things got complicated due to strikes in Greece. And the location, a few minutes walk to Acropolis Museum and Acropolis is totally worth staying in.
PolandThe location of this hotel is wonderful. It's really great to be in a quieter part of Athens and so close to the real reason you are there. The walk to the Acropolis is only 5 minutes. Wonderful experience.
United KingdomThe hotel is perfectly located down the street from the acropolis and museum . The hotel staff is friendly and very much helpful ! I would highly recommend to book a table at the rooftop restaurant.
SwitzerlandThe location, the staff, the breakfast, the rooftop bar restaurant
United KingdomSuper close to all the main attractions - really nice boutique hotel with lovely rooftop restaurant and bar that has amazing views of the Acropolis Entrance to the Acropolis is a couple of minute walk down a pedestrianised street so super convenient
United KingdomYou feel home, very much welcome, extremely polite staff, excellent quality of the breakfast! The location was close to everything! Thank you for the experience !
BulgariaGreat location and very friendly and helpful staff. Super for a short weekend trip 👍
GermanyThis is a real boutique hotel with a truly personal approach and service. Great location, walking distance to Plaka and other key locations, still easily accessible by car and there are always taxis available nearby. Spacious room (we had residence suite, and were upgraded to the Acropolis view for free) with large bathroom, huge veranda, comfortable bed and very quite environment - the sleep experience was perfect as well. Delicious a la carte breakfast is not of a great variety, but still a lot of to choose from and again everything of highest quality and perfect service. We received a complimentary late check-out - not that much tourists these days of course, but again it shows the overall attitude of the management. Bravo.
