Good place to stay for Athens tourists sites!
Pros:

Great location with almost everything accessible by walking! Fair enough rooms, but they were clean and comfortable. Nice breakfast included. Friendly staff with good English.

Cons:

No hot water kettle in room to make coffee or tea. Street traffic is noisy but does quite down later at night.

Un hôtel que je ne fréquenterai plus !
Pros:

Uniquement l'emplacement central dans Athènes et le coût presque raisonnable pour une nuitée!

Cons:

Il m'a semble que l'établissement présente des problémes de sécurité: ascenseur ancien ( cage métallique ) sans double porte, jour entre son seuil d'entrée et le plancher de sa cabine ( un enfant pourrait y laisser un pied ),.de mémoire pas de système d'appel d'urgence mais, peut-être est-il conforme aux normes grecques mais certainement pas françaises. Pas de double issue de secours ( quid si incendie intra muros? ) Pas de d'affichage de consigne d'évacuatiin! Extincteurs à même le sol sans affichage de consigne d'utilisation ni. de leurs contrôles.

L’emplacement est parfait pour découvrir la ville. Proche du métro et de la place où on trouve le bus express 95 qui fait la liaison avec l’aéroport. Quartier vivant. Réception 24/24 et personnel sympathique

Cons:

Un peu vieillot avec des salles de bains minuscules.

Pros:

Sasvim solidan hotel za par dana boravka u Atini.

Cons:

Ponuda za doručak je ista kako prvog tako i svih narednih dana, bez ikakve promene, dodatka, ideje.
