Perfect location, excellent value for money especially for 2-3 nights.
Pros:

The hotel is located in the city centre, very close (on foot 15 minutes) from the main tourist attractions ( Acropolis, Syntagma..), and in the middle of the Plaka district. The staff is very nice. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was not buffet, but still consists all necessary food and beverages and the quantity was also sufficient.

Cons:

The hotel is a little bit old-fashioned, needs to be renovated. The shower tray in the bathroom is rather small.

Good stay!
Pros:

Nice little hotel, welcoming atmosphere, close to all attractions on foot, very clean. Breakfast was included and enough to fill you up and more!

Cons:

Smallish room, especially bathroom, they used an old system of keys not cards, small lift, windows not double glazing so we could hear party goers late at night. We had construction just opposite of our room aswell

Pros:

Excellent petit hôtel familial à Athènes. Situé à Plaka dans une petite rue calme, l'hôtel est proche de tous les centres d'intérêt. La chambre est agréable et le lit confortable. Le petit déjeuner est simple mais varié. On ne manque de rien. Le personnel est extrêmement gentil et disponible pour vous aider. Je reviendrai sans hésiter.

Cons:

Rien

Overall, not too bad in terms of value for the money!
Pros:

Location-but finding the hotel from Syntagma Square wasn't easy. Better directions are needed. Acropolis is close and there are many restaurants nearby. Shower/hot water-good. Price is good. One of the reception staff was nice!

Cons:

Bathroom-shower curtain too short so water was all over the floor. This has been noted before in other reviews but no changes seems to have been made. Breakfast-too basic, same everyday-improvements are necessary. Elevator-there is one, but better watch out! Internet had sporadic issues. The view from the room of a broken building wasn't good, the smell from the dumpsters about 50 feet from the hotel was bad, if you opened the small window and when you passed by.

Localização perfeita!
Pros:

A localização é perfeita. Fizemos tudo a pé, realmente muito perto de tudo que precisamos. Um mercadinho ao lado e várias lojinhas por perto. Acrópolis a menos de 20 minutos caminhando. Àgora, etc....Muito bom mesmo.
O café da manhã é servido na mesa, com bastante variedade. Ovo, pêssegos em calda, iogurte grego, café, leite, chá, pães, manteiga, queijo e presunto, etc....bem satisfatório e bem servido.

Cons:

O quarto é um pouco antigo, apesar do banheiro ter sido reformado. Com isso, o quarto tinha um cheiro um pouco esquisito na hora que a gente entrava. Mas logo depois, passava.

Hotel w sam raz, gdy chcemy na własną rękę zwiedzać Ateny.
Pros:

Świetna lokalizacja - blisko metra oraz samego Akropolu. Mimo że hotel jest w samym sercu Plaki, okolica jest spokojna i cicha. Tuż obok jest też sklep spożywczy. W pokojach nie ma czajników, ale poprosiłam i otrzymałam czajnik do pokoju. Miła i pomocna obsługa. Same pokoje przestronne i czyste. Polecam!

Prima la ubicación.
Pros:

Sin duda, la ubicación, al pie del Partenón, en pleno barrio Plaka.

Cons:

Sobre todo el baño, bastante envejecido.
