The hotel rooms were great - clean, spacious, and modern. However, they make a lot of noise and lack service, except for the free Wi-Fi. The service was super nice and helpful, making arrangements for an early breakfast and giving dinner suggestions. The location is perfect, near major sightseeing spots in the center of Athens. Dining had everything needed but lacked fresh options. The facilities are a bit outdated but very clean. Price was reasonable.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable with all the amenities needed, and the breathtaking view of the Acropolis added an extra touch of magic to my experience. The hotel staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, making me feel right at home. The location was fantastic, with numerous shops, restaurants, and important landmarks within walking distance; although, the backstreets might not suit everyone's taste. The dining experience, while offering a Greek buffet style, had room for improvement. Overall, a great value for money stay in a bustling part of Athens.

The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms have no view and can get quite hot during sunny days, but the receptionist Chris was helpful. The service quality varies from rude and impolite to very friendly and accommodating. The location, although perfect for exploring Athens, is marred by graffiti and noise from surrounding establishments. The dining options are decent but with limited variety. The facilities need some extra touches to enhance the overall experience.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were basic and a bit small, but I enjoyed a lovely view onto the city and the Acropolis. The hotel felt a bit 'tired' in some areas. The service was excellent with friendly and professional staff, and they even helped with our luggage. The location was perfect, just steps away from many restaurants and minutes from the Acropolis. However, the surrounding area had some graffiti and felt a bit run-down. The dining experience was reasonable, but the noise from the kitchen was a bit off-putting. The facilities were decent, and the price was fair for what was offered.
