A quiet boutique hotel with charm and friendly service.
Pros:

The breakfast terrace with a view of the Acropolis is a great way to start one's day in Athens. The location is quiet, at the base of a hilltop park on a dead end street. A little refuge in a bustling city. We have stayed there all of our 7 trips to Greece. We are greeted by the same friendly faces. It is a charming hotel run by people, not a conglomerate. Many rooms have great balconies with Acropolis rooms.

Cons:

There is an incline to reach the hotel.

Upea, kotoisa ja lähellä kaikkea.
Pros:

Hyvä sijainti, mahtava näkymä kattoterassilta akropolikselle. Upea aamupala. Ystävällinen ja auttavainen henkilökunta. Nopea pääsy keskustaan/downtownille ja muille paikallisille kulkuvälineille. Todella hyvä ilmastointi.

Cons:

Lähialue vaikutti paikoittain turistivastaiselta - tämä ei liity hotelliin/ei ole hotellin syy.

Court et parfait.
Pros:

Je ne suis pas resté longtemps, mais déjà l'accueil a été vraiment très cordial, j'ai aussi beaucoup aimé la situation de l'hotel. La vue depuis le rooftop sur la ville est magnifique. Le lendemain le service avec le taxi a été parfait. Je reviendrai.

Pros:

L emplacement est idéal. La terrasse offre une hue sur le Parthenon, c'est sueprbe.
L hotel est proche des bus et metro. On peut même visiter à pied! Cest le centre ville donc fréquentation aux alentours qui peut faire peur mais n ayez crainte. Ils ne vous calculent même pas!
Le personnel est disponible et adorable et present en 24/7. Cuisine partagée super pratique dans l hotel adjacent

Cons:

La cjambre est sommaire. Lit 1 place qd solo. La salle de bain est minuscule. Impossible de se laver le visage sans en mettre partout. (À cause de la tablette)
La télé n'a que des chaines nationales
