What a fantastic place to stay at in Athens! Only 5 minutes walk from Syntagma station, and at a walking distance from everything you want to see. The staff is fantastic, they go above and beyond and always smiling! We got upgraded and had a partial but perfect view of the Acropolis. We had to leave before breakfast on our last day and they prepared us a breakfast box for us, without us even asking - that’s service! Can’t wait for our next visit to Athens, we know where to stay!
