Location is what defines best this hotel: within a short walking distance from the Agora of Athens and the restaurants district, the hotel also has its own terrace, when one can sip a coffee while watching the promenade. Very good breakfast, simple, yet filling. The room itself wasn't bad at all, decent size, pretty clean, good AC, good bathroom, etc. On the higher levels (I've got a sort of first floor, which was more of a mezzanine), there are rooms with a view from the Acropolis.

Cristina United States of America

I love the location!! I love Stella, Effie and the cleaning lady and the guy with glasses at the cafe

Fannie United States of America

The location was perfect to visit Athens The balcony offered an amazing View on the Acropolis Despite the restaurants all along the street and the people walking down the street, the room was very quiet (and we are very vigilant on this point) Efi, the Lady at the Front desk was very helpful and efficient to answer to all our question and helped us about the Ferry to take for the Island.

Alain United States of America

Location is beautiful and convenient! Staff was very very friendly and helpful.

Cassandra United States of America

Great location. Excellent staff. The room we had booked had a water/electrical problem the first night that they weren’t able to fix by the evening so they arranged a nearby hotel for us and covered the taxi fare both ways and gave us a free breakfast.

Joseph United States of America

wonderful small hotel in fantastic location with extremely helpful staff While all of the facilities were modern and functioned perfectly it has preserved the feel of a bygone time with the ‘60’s decor and finishes Stella at the front desk helped us find wonderful live Greek music nearby (Kafeneio 111) and book taxis to and from hotel

Debbie United States of America

We absolutely LOVED the experience in this hotel. It was amazing and quiet location and we fell in love with the receptionists and the whole staff. All of them were super nice and assisted us with everything we needed to the best of their abilities. The facility was clean, room service was really good, not to mention coffee - it was amazing. I really recommend this hotel for couples, we loved sitting on the balcony every night and look at the Acropolis. We hope to come back soon! Thank you for everything!
