Ottimo soggiorno nel cuore di Atene, con personale cordiale, servizi curati e una posizione perfetta
Pros:

La colazione era molto buona, con un'ottima varietà di prodotti dolci e salati al buffet. Ho particolarmente apprezzato la possibilità di scegliere tra diversi piatti caldi, preparati al momento.

L'hotel si presenta esteticamente semplice, ma è funzionale, confortevole e dotato di tutto il necessario per un piacevole soggiorno.

Ho apprezzato soprattutto l'attenzione ai piccoli dettagli, come la disponibilità di spazzolino da denti, shampoo, bagnoschiuma e kit per la rasatura, oltre alla possibilità di rifornirsi gratuitamente di acqua. Anche i prezzi degli altri prodotti del minibar erano ragionevoli.

Il personale si è dimostrato sempre cortese, disponibile e attento alle esigenze degli ospiti.

Un altro grande punto di forza è la posizione centrale, che permette di raggiungere comodamente a piedi le principali attrazioni di Atene, sia durante il giorno che la sera, senza dover necessariamente ricorrere ai mezzi pubblici.

Cons:

L'unico aspetto negativo è stato il rumore della ventola di aspirazione del bagno, che risultava fastidioso durante l'utilizzo.
Per il resto, nessuna particolare criticità da segnalare.

Pros:

Great location, wonderful staff! They got us checked into our room early as we’d planned to leave just our luggage in the morning. Breakfast is personally made for you!
There are stairs up to the desk, but a lift for luggage.

Nu recomand
Pros:

Micul dejun, curățenia, personalul prietenos

Cons:

Am fost cazați la etajul 4, camera avea hol comun cu bucataria open-space...parcă am dormit în bucătărie tot sejurul, dimineața la 7 incepeau doamnele de la bucatarie zgomotul, apoi intra fumul de mancare in camera...geamurile din camera nu erau prevazute cu plase iar daca deschideai geamul intrau tantari(octombrie-noiembrie sezon ploios), daca porneai clima te sufla direct in cap...salteaua foarte moale si perini subțiri...nu merită banii, camerele de la etajul 4 sunt niste improvizatii care nu ar trebui să existe!!! Nu poți sa faci bucataria deschisa in holul care comunica cu camerele de dormit...te afumi stând în cameră...pe bani buni!

Superbe mais plutôt pour des voyageurs déjà un peu aguerris.
Pros:

Les personnels sont accueillants, aimables, souriants et disponibles pour donner des conseils. Les chambres sont confortables. Le petit déjeuné est très bien, copieux, varié, avec des produits de bonne qualité. L'emplacement permet aussi bien d'accéder à pieds aux principaux lieux de tourisme culturel (musées, Acropole, etc.), au métro, aux halles d'Athènes, aux marchés aux puces (le "vrai" et le flea market pour les touristes à Monatiraki) et bien sûr aux nombreux bars et restaurants du quartier.

Cons:

Nous (j'ai 67 ans et j'étais avec mon petit fils de 9 ans) cela ne nous a pas gêné, mais des touristes plus regardant peuvent trouver le quartier peu "glamour", c'est le centre ville d'Athènes, très encombré et embouteillé, cosmopolite, exubérant.

Bien pour accéder à Athènes, peut être pltôt pour des voyageurs déjà un peu aguerris.
Pros:

Nous avons fait 2 séjours dans cet hôtel entrecoupés par un passage à Delphes. Voir mon précédent commentaire.

Wenn man das richtige Zimmer (z.B. 207) erhält, dann ist es auch ausreichend ruhig.

Die Straße, an der das Hotel lieft, ist ziemlich runtergekommen.
