Loved watching the nightly setting of the sun from the hotel rooftop bar
Pros:

Location. Proximity to Acropolis & Plaka

Cons:

The lighting in the room needed to be better. A light fitting in the middle of the ceiling would have been perfect.

Gutes Mittelklassehotel an bester Lage mit toller Dachterrasse.
Pros:

Die Aussicht von der Dachterrasse, wo es ein Bar hat und das Frühstück eingenommen wird, war fantastisch. Auch die Nähe zur Altstadt, Acropolis und zu Metro war optimal.

Cons:

Das Frühstückbuffet war alle fünf Tage haargenau das selbe. Keinerlei Abwechslung, auch bei den Früchten nicht.
Der Pool ist für schlechte Schwimmer nicht geeignet, da das ganze Becken mindestens 2 Meter tief ist.
