Great hotel, super good location and good price.
Pros:

The staff was wonderful - very pleasant, friendly and accommodating staff. The hotel bistro had great breakfast. My room was a Deluxe one, with a lot of space. Great location, super central.

Cons:

The refrigerator in my room was rather loud and make a some weird sounds. I should have told the staff about it, I am sure they would have done something.

Trotz der oben genannten sehr nettes Personal und gute Lage. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
Pros:

Nahe am Zentrum.

Cons:

Waschbecken im Raum (kein extra Bad). Dusche und WC nur durch Milchglastür vom Raum getrennt (im Raum). Safe war nirgends befestigt („zum Mitnehmen“). Nur eine Schublade und eine kleine Kleiderstange - für den Kofferinhalt von 2 Personen etwas wenig. Frühstück nicht als Büffet sondern zum Bestellen, Kaffee gewöhnungsbedürftigt. Baustelle vor der Tür.

Excellent position
Pros:

Excellent position. staff super available and helpful. Room clean.

Cons:

The room had the window on a common staircase that meant that I was never able to open wither the curtains or the window.
Considering the price i would except better rooms, and more guests amenities.

Příjemný hotel v blízkosti hlavních památek
Pros:

Příjemný personál na recepci i ve snídárně. Paní pokojská velmi ochotná a naučila nás správné manipulaci s trezorem. Pokoj dostatečně prostorný, 2 druhy polštářů, koupelna a toaleta zvlášť. Klimatizace, Nespresso kávovar, kapsle byly doplňovány, k dispozici i čaj, ale neměli jsme rychlovarnou konvici. Čisto bylo v pokoji i v koupelně. Velmi příjemná kosmetika značky Apivita. Denně čisté ručníky i když jsme nežádali o jejich výměnu. Výhled na ulici, která ústí k menšímu náměstíčku, kde je několik dobrých restaurací. Snídaně v hotelu pouze a la carte, ale s dostatečným výběrem a možností různých kombinací. Z hotelu jste pěšky u metra i hlavních památek do 10 minut pěšky volnou chůzí.

Cons:

Voda ze sprchy podtékala pode dveřmi ze sprchového koutu ven, spíš jde o technický problém a netěsní skleněné dveře. Teplé nápoje ke snídani není možné kombinovat, buď dostanete kávu nebo čaj. Během víkendu je v okolí v noci velmi rušno.

Quaint and charming! Perfect short getaway for what you want in a Athens Greek experience, area was extremely walkable i
Pros:

Very charming and fun! Very unique set up, but everything was maintained extremely well

Cons:

Only thing that was a bit strange was the way our shower would leak into the toilet area other than that everything was great

Pros:

Great staff, very spacious room!
We chose this hotel for the location and we were very happy with our choice. Walking distance to so many bars and restaurants. Lively neighborhood, but on a calm street.

Cons:

Not the cleanest room we had during our stay in Greece. Bathroom, shower could be in better condition.
