Top hotel in Athens
Pros:

One of the top hotels in Athens with no doubt. Very well located near the Acropolis.
The rooftop where you take your breakfast with a view on the acropolis is absolutely outstanding.
We tried one of their restaurant on the same rooftop and I also highly recommended.
The staff is very helpful

Pros:

מלון במיקום מצויין נוח וארוחת בוקר טובה אבל הוא כבר מיושן.. שומעים כל דיבור במסדרון וארוחת הבוקר נחמדה אבל בהשוואה לאלקטרה מטרופוליס הסמוך הוא פחות טוב...
