Rooms were clean, comfortable: bathrooms were well appointed.
The breakfast was ok, the food wasn’t made to order so did not taste fresh, but the coffee and pastries were delicious and the staff very very friendly and helpful.

Great location for exploring Athens with friendly staff. Lovely room with Acropolis view. I personally did not like the bathroom arrangement but that is my preference rather that any problems. Great breakfast.
