Overall great and would return in warmer weather when more facilities are open.
Pros:

Loved the location and the breakfast! Loved the view of the Acropolis, especially in the evening. The spa was nice. The front desk helped arrange tours and drivers which was super handy!

Cons:

Wished the pool was open for kids after 2pm. Wished there were better dining options that were more family friendly on-site. The room was quite noisy at night - better soundproofing would be great. Cold air also came into our room through the porch.

Luxurious hotel in heart of Athens with incredible rooftop view and friendly staff.
Pros:

Beautiful hotel with incredible roof top view from dining room. Quiet rooms with plush beds and lovely artwork. Friendly helpful staff. Great location for exploring Plaka and central sites of Athens on foot.

Cons:

access to indoor pool must be scheduled. Airport transportation is not free as suggested by Booking.com listing though they were very helpful arranging early morning ride and breakfast to go.

Pros:

Lobby bar staff

Cons:

Very noisy. You can hear every sound. It's impossible to sleep. Old hotel, the walls are torn. I didn't like the breakfast. But the most unpleasant thing is that when we asked about a taxi (today's strike), the staff was ready to provide a transfer to the airport, but when they found out that we were moving to another hotel, they refused to help

Pros:

Hotel was in a great location. So central to every area and the main tourist spots. Didn't need to get one taxi and everywhere we needed to go was within 20 minute walk.
Staff are honestly some of the most helpful and friendliest staff I've ever experienced. Couldn't do enough for you.
Rooms are slightly dated but you see that in the photos so no suprises. Still very comfortable and bathrooms are lovely and modern. The rest of the hotel is also amazing.
The roof top is just beautiful. Breakfast is lovely, staff make it even more enjoyable as they are so friendly and helpful.
Really loved our stay.

Cons:

No complaints. To be VERY picky...Maybe the breakfast could be a little less buttery/oily but cooking for the masses is hard and aware its easier this way.
