Pros:

Good location, easy walking access to main attractions and excellent links to public transport (metro station right outside). It’s on a busy roundabout but it didn’t disturb our sleep / wasn’t an issue from the room. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Room was compact but the space was used well. Nice pool and rooftop space including bar. Not really for swimming but good for chilling and views from the acropolis.

Cons:

stort minus var att poolområdet inte öppnade förrän kl.11.00 men stod att det öppnade 10.00. Det borde öppna kl.9.00 så man kan sola på förmiddagen och utforska staden på eftermiddagen.

Grossly overpriced.
Pros:

It was clean, breakfasts were excellent, staff helped with car rental.

Cons:

During booking I was offered a choice between one double bed or two single beds, but that was not true. There was actually no two single bed option. When I asked the hotel to cancel the booking if they can't provide two single beds, they replied, that I will have two bedrooms. Upon arrival it turned out that "2 bedrooms" were one double bed in a tiny room (16 square meters). Which I don't even know how to process. View from tiny balcony was to the rundown roofs with pigeons and noisy AC roof units(9th floor). Beds are with memory foam, where you will sink in, with 2 huge pillows(terrible for the neck). Corridors in hotel are all black, bathroom is black, there is a TV in the ceiling of the lifts with irritating music playing in the loop. It was definitely not worth the money I've paid for it. I can't recommend this place.

Pros:

Ideal location with a hop on/hop off bus stop right outside. A short walk into lovely the central area and quirky rooms.

Cons:

The pool area was lovely and a welcome oasis from the city bustle. However it was not attended so it was left a little untidy with used food trays and towels.

Pros:

Sehr gutes Frühstück

Cons:

Wir sind als Gruppe mit Kindern angereist, und die Zimmerzuteilung war von Anfang an chaotisch.

Besonders problematisch war, als die Kinder (die 15-jährige Tochter unserer Freunde und ihr 11-jähriger Sohn) nach dem Abendessen endlich ihr Zimmer beziehen konnten und dort einem nackten fremden Mann gegenüberstanden. Das Zimmer war offenbar doppelt vergeben worden. Das Personal reagierte auf diesen Vorfall leider nicht professionell.
Das anschließend den Kindern zugewiesene Zimmer roch zudem unangenehm nach Abfluss.
Dies wurde behoben.
Darüber hinaus entsprachen eines der gebuchten Zimmer mit Balkon und versprochener Aussicht auf den Platz nicht der Beschreibung, da sie stattdessen direkt auf eine Wand blickten.

Bei Nachfragen oder Beschwerden erhielten wir leider überwiegend wenig hilfsbereite Rückmeldungen . Die Zimmer sind recht klein.

Polecam na szybki wypad do Aten
Pros:

Hotel jest bardzo dobrze skomunikowany z najważniejszymi obiektami w mieście, czysto, bardzo dobre śniadania. Ciekawy wystrój, przyjemnie. Obsługa bardzo miła i pomocna.

Cons:

Dość głośno jeżeli chodzi o hałasy dobiegające z zewnątrz- ruchliwa ulica bardzo blisko. Poza tym wszystko ok.

Wow
Pros:

Everything was wonderful, i've just think the pool was quite small but the area itself of the 10th floor was really great. Thank you for hosting us with such a great hospitality.

Sehr überteuertes Hotel mit teils abgewohnten Zimmern in guter Lage und mit gutem Frühstück.
Pros:

Frühstück (sehr große Auswahl) und Dachterrasse (fein zum Relaxen) waren die einzigen Highlights. Lage gut, da direkt an einer UBahn Station. Personal war freundlich, beschränkte sich aber auf das nötigste.

Cons:

Zimmer war sehr klein (obwohl nicht die kleinste Kategorie bei der Buchung) und hatte einen Durchgang in ein anderes Zimmer (Gast im Nebenzimmer war beim Telefonieren etc. zu hören). Badezimmer war nicht besonders sauber und es roch unangenehm aus dem Abfluss. WLAN hatte ständige Aussetzer. Der Pool am Dach war eher ein Planschbecken (70cm tief). Das beim Zimmerservice bestellte Essen war lauwarm. Für den verlangten Preis sind das alles Sachen die nicht passieren dürfen.

Soggiorno perfetto, rooftop da sogno!!
Pros:

Soggiornare in questa struttura è stato un vero piacere, sopratutto grazie alla straordinaria ospitalità dello staff, che ha saputo fin dal primo momento coccolarci con un upgrade di stanza e un dettaglio di benvenuto per festeggiare il mio compleanno. I servizi sono ottimi e curati nei minimi dettagli, la vera perla è la loro piscina sul rooftop con una vista mozzafiato sulla acropoli. La colazione è davvero il loro punto forte, completa di tutto e di ottima qualità.

A great value stay at the Skylark. We loved the roof top pool. Only a short 15 minute walk to the heart of Plaka. Staff
Pros:

The roof top pool and views.
