Close to Attractions. Could have been cleaner.
Pros:

The hotel is in a central location and within easy walking distance of sites like Lycabettus Hill (30 mins) and the Acropolis etc. Also 15 minutes from the main shopping area.

Cons:

Both my client and my taxi driver did advise me though that this was an 'eyes open / be aware' part of Athens at night. I was travelling alone so took taxis back to the hotel after work meetings. The hotel has a lovely roof terrace for breakfast but on my second morning there it was not as clean as it should have been (crumbs on tables etc) and the breakfast had not been fully set up at 7.20 when I arrived. Breakfast is listed as from 7am to 10am. The coffee machine was not working and there was no bread available. The chef was frantically trying to stock everything. Perhaps there were staff shortages. I also thought the hotel room could have been cleaner (floors especially and the wall around the bathroom mirror).

מלכודת תיירים זה כאן
Cons:

מלון גרוע!! מלכודת תיירים! המלון מושכר לצוותי אוויר מתחלפים, לא ישנו כל הלילה , מ5 בבוקר טריקת דלתות בלי סוף , פנינו ללובי אין עם מי לדבר .
ארוחת בוקר מזעזעת , ירקות לא טריים, אין מבחר של כלום .....לא עלינו לאכול אירי היום הראשון , שילמנו ועברנו מלון לnyx!
ריצפה בחדר לא נקייה , בקיצור זוועה!
ממקום על הכביש רעש....פיח , מעפן ביותר

It was short but made extremely sweet by the reception team
Pros:

The room size small and cute
There’s a weird smell in the bathroom and they need to sort that out
The reception staff very helpful and informative however the staff in the breakfast area need to be more friendly and helpful. Whilst this situation didn’t happen to me finding hair in your breakfast could put people off. The staff need to engage a bit more than just asking for room numbers

Cons:

I only have good things to say about Reception staff the day and night crew very very helpful to me
