Standaard hotel voor een citytrip. Eerder middelmatig, maar wel met een goede ligging voor de metro
Pros:

Het metrostation was letterlijk om de hoek. En van daaruit was je meestal binnen de 10 minuten in het centrum, bij de Acropolis of waar je ook wou zijn. Er waren ook hele goede restaurantjes in de buurt.
De toiletartikelen ( douchegel, shampoo en bodylotion ) waren van heel goede kwaliteit en roken ook goed.
Het personeel aan de receptie was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
Het uitzicht vanop de roof top bar is heel mooi , maar de kaart is erg beperkt.

Cons:

Het ontbijt sloeg tegen. De roereieren waren krokant, de dooiers van de spiegeleieren waren volledig hard zoals een hardgekookt ei. Het assortiment was niet echt groot en de smaken vielen ook tegen. De koffie was de slechtste koffie die ik ooit al op hotel gedronken heb.
De douche was eerder klein en heel laag. Ik ben zelf kleiner dan 1.70 meter en ik denk dat iedereen die groter is dan 1.80 met zijn hoofd tegen het plafond zou staan. Tijdens het douchen is het ook onmogelijk om de badkamer droog te houden.

Idéal pour quelques jour à Athènes avec un excellent rapport qualité/prix . Roof top avec super vue
Pros:

Chambre bien équipé et très propre. Le petit déjeuner et bien doté que ce ce soit en spécialités grecques ou en standard internationnal. Il y a un roof top avec une magnifique vue sur la capitole . A ne pas manquer le soir avec un coktail et la vue sur le capitole éclairé. L'hotel est à 100m du métro sur la ligne principale.

Pros:

Locația este curată

Cons:

Deși am rezervat 2 camere descrise a avea 20 mp, cu spatiu generos, am primit o camera de maxim 15 mp, cu pat de 1,40m. Camerele 201 si 601 sunt diferite si deloc apropiate de ce e fotografiat.
Explicatiile hotelului au fost slabe si neconvingatoare

Pros:

Et overraskende bra og velplassert hotell. Rooftop [snack] BAR en innertier selvfølgelig! 🌞 Athen er en underfundig by å finne fram i, men her fungerer det meste av kommunikasjonsmidler - når det ikke er kø og trafikk-kaos da. 😉

Cons:

Fant ingenting å sette fingeren på ved en kort og enkelt overnatting.

Pros:

Comfy beds, good AC, clean bed sheets, fridge in the room. Breakfast was fine (we had it only once).

Nice restaurant on the top roof with the view on Acropolis. Service was excellent, food was ok, portions were generous.

Cons:

No water provided in the room, however it’s been said that the water from the tap is drinkable.
