Fabulous little hotel
Pros:

Fabulous location.

Cons:

Not much that i didn't like, perhaps we could have been informed at check in that we need to make a booking if we want to use the roof to bar. This was the main reason we chose this hotel to stay at and we never even used it as it was booked out.

Ubicación inmejorable, buen desayuno... excelente opción
Pros:

La ubicación es inmejorable, todo se puede hacer caminando. El desayuno es muy bueno, surtido y con muchas opciones.

Cons:

Algo de ruido a la calle (no es algo exagerado, pero está) y los huespedes de la habitación de arriba exageradamente bullosos.

It was a very clean and nice hotel with helpful staff and the ability to store our luggage y til our rooms were ready.
Pros:

The location was amazing. Right in the heart of the city with so many shops and eateries to visit. Not a far walk at all to the acropolis.

Cons:

The bed was not very comfortable and I actually woke up with a back ache. The staff were polite and helpful when we had questions but never got back to me about cruise ship transfers.

I love the hotel and its location but you should opt out of breakfast options and eat locally.
Pros:

Location is close to all action including public transportation and the Acropolis.

Cons:

Breakfast. They served the same thing everyday without any considerations for foreign travelers
