My stay at the hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The room was a bit smaller than expected but still cozy, and the service was generally good despite a hiccup with the daily room cleaning. The location was convenient for exploring the city, although the noise level from traffic was a drawback. The dining options were not impressive, but the hotel facilities were well-maintained.

The hotel's location is ideal for exploring Athens with its central position and proximity to the Metro station. The rooms, while a bit small and sparse, provide a comfortable stay at a reasonable price. Service varies, from going above and beyond to ignoring issues. The dining options are basic but convenient for quick bites.

My stay at the hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the breakfast was great, and the rooftop lounge offered a fantastic view. However, there was a lingering smell of smoke in the non-smoking room, and the room felt a bit cramped for three people.

The hotel room, although small for the price of 120 euros per night for two persons, was quiet and cozy despite the lackluster view. The staff provided excellent service, speaking both English and Greek fluently, and were genuinely friendly and helpful. In terms of location, the hotel was near the metro and within a short drive to the city center, offering a good base for exploring the city. The dining experience, while with limited variety, was acceptable. Overall, considering the price, the hotel offered decent value for money.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms had a mildew odor that was somewhat alleviated by the air-conditioning but were quite small and smelled bad. On the bright side, the air-conditioning worked well, and the small balcony provided a view of the Acropolis. The service was a bit of a letdown with unfriendly staff reported, but they did offer various services with a very polite demeanor, including a good breakfast and clean, well-maintained rooms. The location, while not the safest, had easy access to the metro and a stylish rooftop bar. Dining had its ups and downs with nice options but possibly trying to do too much. Overall, the facilities were decent, with some improvements needed.

The location was convenient for exploring the city, although the noise from the busy traffic was a bit overwhelming at times.

The hotel is conveniently located near bus and metro stations, making it a great 'home base' for exploring Athens and the surrounding areas. The rooms, although smaller than expected, are clean and comfortable. The service, especially from the exceptional Kostas, goes above and beyond, ensuring a pleasant stay. The dining options are somewhat limited but satisfactory, with a 24/7 bakery nearby for convenience. Overall, a decent value for the price paid.
