Rooftop terrace with Acropolis view

Cons:
Small rooms and tiny bathrooms

Categories

Cleanliness
8.5
Generally reported as clean with specific praise ('cleanliness is exceptional') but a few comments note cleaning could improve and one review raised concerns about bed bugs; overall slightly above average.
Service
9.5
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and professional with 24-hour reception; occasional minor service friction reported (waiting for keys, large key/noise) but overall strongly positive.
Location
10
Overwhelmingly praised as ideal — walking distance to the Acropolis, Syntagma, Plaka and main sights; rooftop terrace with Acropolis view cited; location is the hotel's standout feature.
Room Quality
6
Multiple reports of small rooms and tiny bathrooms, old property feel, hard beds, thin walls/noise and some maintenance issues (loose tile); room quality is a notable weakness.
Amenities
7.5
Some positive amenities (rooftop terrace, free luggage storage, 24h front desk) but several negatives noted (poor Wi‑Fi, safety deposit box not working, no free parking, limited breakfast facilities).
Value for Money
6.5
Several guests felt the hotel was a bit expensive for what it offers and expected better for the price; value perception is below target.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Mixed feedback: some guests reported a good breakfast, others said breakfast service was limited or encouraged to eat outside; local bakeries/cafes nearby offset in-house limitations.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall positive stay driven largely by location, friendly staff and cleanliness for many guests, despite drawbacks in room size, some amenities and perceived value.

Great location. Sleep deprived due to the room location
Pros:

The location was fantastic. Practically next door to the Bakehouse which has amazing croissants.

Cons:

Being a single traveller you always get placed in the noisy room. First floor. Right next to the lift and on top of reception. The walls are thin. You can hear every door slam, people talking in reception. I got hardly any sleep. When I arrived they said that they could upgrade me for a fee. When I asked to change rooms they said it was impossible unless I paid. This is really poor considering there is no soundproofing in the first floor.
The wifi also does not seem to work at 2am-5am for some reason.

Convenient location and comfortable room.
Pros:

The hotel is well located for tourist destinations such as the Acropolis, Syntagma Square, tour walks and day trips.

Cons:

The huge room key and the noise required to open the room door - I was disturbed by others getting into their room late at night / early in the morning. Having to wait to get the room key on return from an outing if there was no one actually at the desk.

Soggiorno in pieno centro storico
Pros:

La posizione. Puoi fare tutto a piedi, anche il Partenone. Personale gentile e disponibile 24h.

Cons:

Dalle foto sembra più nuova e moderna, invece è un po’ datata. Pulito ma potrebbe migliorare. Guardando la piccola sala per la colazione non mi è venuta voglia di farla in struttura.
