Um mitten im Athener Leben zu sein ist dies viel besser, als ein Hotel nahe der Akropolis und Plaka.
Pros:

Es liegt scheinbar etwas abseits, dafür in einem spannenden, lebendigen Szeneviertel neben einem Park (toll für Kinder) und von der Dachterrasse, aber auch unseren Zimmern aus bietet sich ein überraschend toller Blick auf das weisse städtische Häusermeer mit Akropolis und Lykabettus-Berg, sehr angenehm vielfältiges griechisches Frühstück.

Cons:

Ich hatte mich mit dem Datum vertan, da gab es leider wenig Flexibilität zur Anpassung.

Overall, very good
Pros:

The location is convenient insofar all the landmarks are within a walking distance. Also, the neighborhood (Exarchia) is very interesting - I enjoyed browsing the narrow streets.

The hotel was a lovely rooftop terrace from where you get pretty much a 360° view of the city. You can even see a bit of the sea.

The staff are very nice - they gave me slippers.

The room was very clean and smelled nice. The interior decor is very tasteful, the colour palette was lovely. The room had everything it needed.

Cons:

The bathroom sink drain was clogged - water struggled to pass through.

There's no soundproofing, so if you come here, definitely bring a pair of ear plugs so you don't get woken up in the morning or night.

Also, even though my balcony door was closed, I could still smell cigarette smoke from the outside.

Pros:

What I liked most was having breakfast every morning with stunning views of the Acropolis. The hotel is located in a lovely bohemian neighbourhood with hundreds of places to eat nearby. The staff were very friendly and even allowed me to check in a little earlier. The hotel offers great value for money.

Cons:

Nothing to report.

Pros:

Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine à Dryades & Orion. Exarchia est un quartier très vivant et avec de super adresses pour boire et manger. Il est aussi très sûr, même si l'on peut
avoir un doute à toute première vue.
Le petit déjeuner est varié et servi avec des bons produits sur la terrasse qui offre une très belle vue sur la ville et l'acropole. La terrasse est par ailleurs accessible à tout moment et on peut y consommer ses propres victuailles. La chambre est bien et propre, et la literie est très bien également.

Pros:

Odličan doručak sa prekrasnim pogledom na Akropolu. Dan smo također znali završiti na toj terasi uz čašu pića (sami bi donijeli) i isti pogled...
