the staff was attentive and very professional. Beautiful view of Acropolis from the dining room. Close proximity to Plaka and all the main points of interest.

Acropolis view at the rooftop restaurant is stunning both morning and night times. Location is great right in the middle of the city center, walkable to almost everything you need to see.

Robert United States of America

excellent location and very attentive staff. the rooftop bar and restaurant are a huge bonus. Also spotless rooms and fantastic breakfast. I’m extremely picky and definitely recommend.

Lindsay United States of America

Well located in the center of Athens. Within short walking distance is Syntagma square, Ermou street (market), Plaka, Monastiraki, Psiri, Acropolis and the archaeological area around. Friendly, polite and smiling personnel. Reach breakfast which is served at the roof top restaurant with amazing view of Acropolis. Highly recommend to have a dinner at that restaurant with the night view of Acropolis. Excellent food from a short menu that can cover almost all appetites (meat, fish, vegan) and interesting wine and drinks list. Before our stay a mistake happened from the hotel side, which corrected immediately upon reported with good (and professional) way and to my understanding with such cases you can really evaluate the service offered. Excellent
