Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location -- within walking distance of most major sites in Athens. Numerous good restaurants nearby. Comfortable bed, sofa and desk w/chair. Wi-fi worked well, and there was also a desktop computer with printer in the lobby for guests' use. Breakfast was fantastic -- among the two or three best I've seen anywhere in any of my travels.
