Eine Suite für diesen Preis findet man auch woanders.
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, sehr schöne Zimmer, sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffet. Das Personal an der Rezeption und am Pool war wirklich professionell.

Cons:

Kein Wasserkocher oder Kaffeemaschine auf dem Zimmer. Wir hatten eine 80qm Suite. Der Balkon war eine Katastrophe, da Blick zur Hauptstraße und wirklich extrem laut. Der Balkon war total dreckig am Fußboden, wirklich dreckig. Für diese Tagespreis über Booking.com erwartet man mehr.

Great location, shame about the room which was expensive for the dim , viewless room
Pros:

The location is great. An easy walk to the Acropolis, Zeus’ temple and metro. Lots of restaurant choices all within a 5-8 minute walk.

The pool is a lovely area too, save for when some guests play their personal music through phone speakers or a portable speaker - if it’s not to your taste!

Cons:

The breakfast food selection was ok - cereal, breads, a cake of the day, yoghurt, jams and honey, fruit. However, the hot food was not even like warm enough which was disappointing.

Also, the room key needed re-setting daily which was a chore. Particularly because the reception staff were not particularly friendly.

The worst thing was the view as there wasn’t one. We saw wall/roof and barely any natural light came into the room. Very different to the room with a view shown on the booking website. Avoid room 110 at all costs!

The main reception area looked modern on arrival but the room itself was outdated and is in need of refurbishment. The single bed area had a blind but no ability to see through the window (just dark on the other side) so was a room without any natural light. Not sure why there was a window or blind at all - may as well just have been a solid wall!

Pros:

Old school luxury with very nice staff and amenities

Because of the carpet in the room unfortunately the room is difficult to deep clean and has stains... Nothing too bad eh just a suggestion 😊 I will come back with or without the carpet
