There is no option for inclusion of breakfast if one has to leave early in the morning. We requested if we can get packed breakfast (maybe a small packet as per our experience in similar sort of hotels in other region) as we had to depart at 6:30 am & were missing out on our breakfast inclusion but the only option was to have a cup of tea!
We found the staff to be extremely helpful & courteous. We also liked the view of the Acropolis from the 8th floor which was the hotel's breakfast serving floor. All the main attractions are within walking distance including museums, Acropolis and Plaka area where there is lot of food choices.

- • Leisure trip

Beds definitely lacking. Need top quality mattresses and exchange current twin beds put together for real king and queen beds. Especially at €400+/night! Same for small couch in den. Not comfortable and dated. Spend the money for larger and more comfortable couch, plus more sturdy coffee table and chair. Not to be elegant like the hotel lobby, but make it as it should be. Proper shower curtains to avoid flooding the bathroom while taking a wonderful and warm shower Elevators are tiny (5 ft X 3 ft). They work fine but not at all what this hotel needs Breakfast buffet: would not offer the sausages as not tasty, have water as standard with coffee service, offer artificial sweeteners with usual sugars for coffee and tea Hotel entrance is on a narrow one-way street (just so you know) Two schools next door so daytime sports noise outside (I liked it as a family neighborhood, but noisy)
