Excellent and good value, second time in 12 months and look forward to next time.
Pros:

Liked the peacefully calm, stylish interior, high ceilings and tastefully furnished.
Well-located in city centre, a short walk from Monastiraki Square (and not far from Syntagma.

Cons:

An extra (second) cup of coffee at breakfast had to be charged to my room, which seems petty. No big deal, but “breakfast included” could allow an extra cup. The staff in the restaurant were sometimes less attentive than one might expect. Twice I waited patiently, then needed to attract attention, and neither time was it busy. Easily fixed, so don’t let this put you off.

טוב מאוד
Pros:

את המיקום, והצוות החביב.

Cons:

החדרים קצת חשוכים בעיני והיינו בחדר צמוד למעלית אמרו לנו שלא שומעים כשביקשתי חדר אחר, אבל שמעו ממש וזה דיי הפריע לשהות שלנו. אם לא זה אני חושבת שהיינו נהנים מאוד

Never Again – Keep Away from This Hotel
Cons:

This was one of the most disappointing hotel stays I have ever had. The hotel is old and poorly maintained. Our room was missing a door handle, and the toilet seat was so worn out and cracked that using it was very uncomfortable. It wasn't dirty, but it was clearly old and should have been replaced long ago.

The main reason I chose this hotel was the swimming pool, which is advertised as one of the property's main attractions. However, only after carefully reading the description can you find the information that access to the pool is not included in the stay. Instead, you have to pay extra to book the entire spa area. This information is easy to miss, while the pool is prominently featured in the hotel's listing. In my opinion, the way this is presented is misleading.

Breakfast was another disappointment. There is no buffet; instead, you can choose from only a few fixed breakfast options. The portions are small and not filling.

I definitely do not recommend this hotel and would advise others to think twice before booking. The property is outdated and poorly maintained, the swimming pool is advertised in a misleading way, and the breakfast is far below expectations. Had I known what the experience would actually be like, I would have chosen a different hotel.

Excellent place of stay, with an amazing location to cater to both Monstriaki and Plaka
Pros:

It was a spacious loft room on the 4th floor
the highlight was the hot tub / jacuzzi on the terrace which in the cool evenings was fantastic to use end of the day
also the breakfast served at the restaurant downstairs was excellent
above all! the location, we have walked 10 mins into all the places of interest that we had listed out
best of food and drinks were around the hotel
the front office staff was amazing too

Cons:

very little not to like, just that wish we had a bit of a view from the room....

Cons:

הגענו ביום חמישי בצהריים. המזגן לא עבד המעלית לא עבדה הספא לא עבד, הסתבר בדיעבד שלמעשה ימים לא היו מזגנים עוד לפני שהגענו ואף אחד לא טרח לעדכן. בעלי נכה גפיים בקושי מתהלך עם מקל קמנו בבוקר אחרי שלא ישנו כל הלילה מהחום ואז הסתבר שגם המעלית לא עובדת, הבריכה והספא לא עבדו. בבוקר עזבנו למלון אחר לא רחוק משם גם 4כוכבים הבדל שמיים וארץ. המלון הוזמן ב 13.6 ואנחנו הגענו ב 18.6. מיותר לציין שלפני שהגענו דאגו לשלוח הצעות לגבי הזמנת עיסויים, ארוחות וכל מיני שרותים שיש במלון כדי שנזמין מראש אבל לדאוג להגיד שיש בעיה עם החשמל זה לא נאמר למרות שהיה מספיק זמן לשנות מלון. לא הוצעה חלופה אחרת.
בקיצור חוויה איומה. אגב אנחנו זוג בני 70+
תתרחקו מהמלון הזה לא הייתי נותנת אפילו ניקוד של אכסנית נוער

Este hotel nos arruino nuestras vacaciones
Pros:

Solo destacar que la ubicación del hotel es muy buena cerca de todos los sitios importantes y el edificio del hotel es bonito. El resto MUY MAL, nada recomendable

Cons:

Nuestra estancia en este hotel fue un desastre total, era el regalo de cumpleaños para mi madre y desde el día 15 hasta el 19 no tuvimos aire acondicionado (llegamos el día 11 de junio al hotel), con temperaturas por encima de 29 ºC, la única opción era abrir la venta y la puerta que daba al balcón soportando el espantoso ruido constante del exterior y la claridad intensa que ya aparece desde las 5:30 am, poniendo en riesgo la salud de mi madre, que tiene problemas cardíacos y su tensión arterial era imposible en aquellas condiciones estabilizarla. El personal del hotel nunca ofreció disculpas ni posibles soluciones, nos decían solo si quieren irse márchense y el servicio de atención a Booking tampoco ayudó, incluso exponiéndole la situación de salud de mi madre. Solo nos decían que esperaran que ellos hablan con el hotel (atención a esto, porque muy bueno todo en el momento de comprarles estancias y luego poco eficaces en buscar soluciones rápidas cuando estas en problemas).
El desayuno es a la carta (todos los días lo mismo, sin variar en nada), de poca calidad y cantidad, todo en pequeñísimas cantidades, si querías un segundo café / infusión tienes que pagarlo, el servicio ineficaz, lento y tienes que repetirle una y otra vez lo que quieres porque al parecer te entienden pero luego te traen lo que ellos quieren. Tuvimos que adelantar nuestro regreso, comprar nuevos vuelos y cancelar las excursiones que teníamos previstas, sin ninguna asistencia real ni ayuda.
El día de la salida, en la recepción NADIE nos dio una disculpa por estas noches agónicas intentando dormir / descansar a mas de 29 ºC, con ruido y luz intensa, solo se preocuparon porque el día de nuestra entrada no incluí mi dirección de correo en la ficha de huéspedes, y para finalizar nuestra estancia nos encontramos con el ascensor roto, teniendo que bajar todas nuestras maletas por una escalera peligrosa, estrecha e inclinada. No recomiendo este hotel bajo ninguna circunstancia.

Wenn sich ein Hotel Spa nennt, muss der Spa in Betrieb sein - oder es muss auf der Homepage darauf hingewiesen werde, dass es weder Pool noch Spa gibt…

Lovely well located boutique hotel, ideal for an Athens mini break
Pros:

Great central location. Room clean and had effective a/c.
Staff amazingly friendly and helpful. Our first room was close to reception and a bit noisy, but it was absolutely no problem to switch to a quieter room.
Beautiful breakfast available. And we really recommend the restaurant with its fine dining options prepared by up and coming chef, Chris Sodiropoulos, giving a welcome different option to the myriad of Taverna menus in the locality.
