The hotel is located right next to the Acropolis - about a five minute walk. The hotel is near to some of the best restaurants in Athens. Staff were very kind and helpful. Located in the beautiful and historic Plaka. Price was great. Will stay again!

Amandamiranda343, Tanzania

Unbeatable location, right in the middle of Plaka. Walking distance to most attractions. Walking to the closest metro station (Acropoli) takes about 10 minutes. Clean and spacious bedroom and bathroom. The view on the Acropolis from the balcony was priceless. Rooftop with 360-degree view. Simple, but tasty and copious breakfast. Very friendly staff.

Isabelle, United States of America

Great location Nice balcony in front of Acropolis Nice people

Mohamed, Morocco

The location is very good, close to everything, museums, metro station, shopping. The view on Acropolis from the roof is amazing!

Anna, United States of America

I had just one day in Athens and wanted to see the Parthenon. I couldn't have picked a more perfect place. Staying here, with restaurants nearby and the meeting place for my guided tour of the Parthenon just a few hundred feet away, was ideal. The place is very basic; however, I understood that before booking. The desk clerk was helpful, giving me a 4 a.m. wake up knock at my door and having a taxi immediately ready to take me to the airport.

Dolores, United States of America

The location so close to the Acropolis was amazing. The price is also very good and you get what you pay for.

Joerg, Malta

The price and the location (but those didn't make up for the shortcomings).

Bill, United States of America

This is an example of how you get what you pay for. But somehow we expected more, maybe from the write-up on the site. It does have a view of the Acropolis - over a junk heap. The older man at the desk was friendly and helpful.

William, United States of America

Location, proximity to the Acropolis and the Plaka were outstanding. The staff were very helpful with restaurant suggestions and directions.

The bathroom was outside our room and kind of incovenient to use, especially during the evenings. The room was a bit small, but clean anyways.
The location was great, you can literally see Acropolis from the room and bacolny. Also walking distance to Syntagma square.

The knobs on the bed ends- we kept on bumping into them! Not being able to have a kettle to make my own coffee when I felt like it- minor things really!
