Categories

Cleanliness
1
Mixed reports: daily cleaning and fresh towels/linen praised, but serious negatives (mould in shower, stained blanket, outdated bathroom) lower overall cleanliness sentiment.
Service
1
Generally very positive: staff described as warm, competent, energetic and helpful; housekeeping repeatedly noted as good. One guest found staff overly attentive at times.
Location
1
Consistently praised: close to metro/tram and centre, easy walking distance, rooftop with good city views — strong location sentiment.
Room Quality
1
Negative: rooms reported as small, bathrooms outdated and not functional in places, missing TV/kettle, stained blanket and renovation debris — room quality is a clear downside.
Amenities
1
Mixed: free water/coffee/tea/beer and rooftop/jacuzzi when available are positives, but missing items (kettle, TV), occasional unavailability of advertised amenities and renovation works reduce the score.
Value for Money
1
Perceived as slightly negative: limited/poor breakfast via external voucher, misleading room photos and small rooms reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
1
Negative: breakfast repeatedly described as limited, not suitable for vegetarians/vegans or varied diets, dry bread and voucher-based cafe breakfast criticized despite free coffees/drinks available.
Overall Experience
1
Overall mixed-to-slightly-positive: many guests enjoyed the terrace, view, location and helpful staff leading to pleasant stays, but persistent issues (room size, bathroom condition, breakfast/amenity problems) temper enthusiasm.

Pros:

The location was great it’s right in the city center, close to plenty of pubs and about a 30-minute walk from the Acropolis. The room was a bit small, which didn’t really bother us, but considering the price, we expected something a little more spacious. Right at the entrance to the hotel there was an amazing coffee spot with a very boho and hippie vibe, and you could help yourself to coffee whenever you wanted. A huge plus was the rooftop terrace with the jacuzzi, it was the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine at sunset.

Cons:

Other than the room being a bit small, we had no complaints at all.

Pros:

The stay was a great experience. I loved the room, the staff (they literally were angels) and the free water in the fridge in the lobby - it helped a lot during the hottest days.

Cons:

I was a bit sad that the jacuzzi was out of service for our whole stay - was really looking forward to it.

Frühstück
Pros:

Die kostenlosen Getränke und die Dachterrasse. Freibier 😍

Cons:

Die Frühstücksboxen, zu wenig Auswahl. Es hat nicht ganz unseren Geschmack getroffen...ein Buffet wäre besser gewesen.

Pros:

The staff were the best part. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. And the rooftop was a major bonus. Beautiful watching the city.

Cons:

The bathrooms were so tiny but there's not much they can do about that. They were clean!

Pros:

Jedno z nejhezších ubytování, kde jsme byli. Skvělá čtvrť, kde to žilo! Ano, je tam trochu rušno, ale já spím se špunty do uší všude, takže mně to nevadilo. Snídaně na pokoj a možnost si ji sníst na terase. Neomezený přísun vody a kávy. Personál úplně nejmilejší a room service každý den.

Pros:

Nel complesso la struttura è carina, il personale è super disponibile e gentile, è possibile godere di una bellissima terrazza panoramica sul tetto, inoltre acqua, birra, vino e caffe sono disponibili gratuitamente durante tutto il soggiorno. La.colazione viene portata direttamente in camera al mattino. La posizione è ottima per visitare la città.

Cons:

La camera era molto rumorosa, affacciata su una strada trafficata siamo stati costretti a dormire con la finestra chiusa e l aria condizionata . Non essendoci le serrande ma solo delle tende ,all alba entrava la luce e non c era modo dormire.
Il bagno decisamente da sistemare, rispetto alla camera è molto vecchio con tubazioni a vista.

Pros:

Ümbruskond ei olnud kõige ilusam, aga samas vist suht turvaline, hommikusöök keskmine. Asukoht isegi suht ok, sai igale poole jala minna

Cons:

Vannituba väga väike, piltide peal ilusam kui tegelikult oli
