Comfortable central hotel
Pros:

WE have stayed here many times - mainly because of the friendly welcome and the excellent location. Its always a pleasure to have breakfast whilst gazing on the Acropolis. Also the beds are very comfortable and the room is very well equipped.

Cons:

for the first time, we ate in the restaurant and were very disappointed . When we booked we werent told it was a tasting menu which we hate - they agreed we could eat a la carte but, in our opinion the food was really very nasty. Thats a strong statement but i cant think what else to say. The bill was huge as well. I will stay in hotel again but never eat in the restaurant.

Wir haben den Aufenthalt genoßen
Pros:

Das Frühstück wurde à la carte serviert und ließ keine Wünsche offen – alles war frisch zubereitet und von hoher Qualität. Die Lage des Hotels ist perfekt und ideal, um Athen zu erkunden.

Die Zimmer sind modern eingerichtet und verfügen über große Fernseher. Zwar gibt es keine deutschen Sender, aber wer reist schon nach Athen, um fernzusehen?

Besonders hervorzuheben ist das Personal: äußerst freundlich, aufmerksam und jederzeit hilfsbereit.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel sehr genossen und können es weiterempfehlen.

Cons:

Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt auf hohem Niveau war die Dusche: Im Bereich der Glasführung war sie nicht ganz sauber. Das hat den insgesamt sehr positiven Eindruck jedoch nur minimal beeinträchtigt.

Hotel walkable to most tourist attractions but most of all with exceptional staff
Pros:

We loved the hotel mainly because the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The following members of the team went above and beyond in helping our stay comfortable - Marisanti, Valantis, Themistoklis, Nikos and John. The restaurant staff at breakfast was very helpful too - Irini and Katerina, We only had breakfast in the restaurant.
Thank you everyone for helping our stay exceptional. We will come again with our daughter when we can to visit Athens again and will definitely stay there.

Cons:

Nothing

i left patting myself on the back for selecting such a wonderful hotel.
Pros:

location= perfect. if u are there for the Parthenon as i was, athenswas cannot be beat, the site is 2 minute walk away down a pedestrian only lane.

atmosphere- sleek, minimal, understated, sharp.

rooms- comfortable- if a tad small, showers def a lil too small.

value- expensive but worth it especially if u sign up for the breakfast- its a la carte, high quality and served in a wonderful top floor location, where the parthenon and athens skyline takes your breath away.

cleanliness- excellent

noise level- zero. slept very very well.

service- impeccable. they are helpful in a serious way. in every way.

amenities- again, get the breakfast. fantastic

Pros:

the location is perfect. just next to the acropolis. the hotel itself is very nice. the rooms are clean but there are no hardwood or marble on the floor. just a carpet.

Cons:

the breakfast was repetitive. the food was fresh and tasty but since it is a boutique hotel i have expected to have some day to day variation.

No geral uma boa experiência
Pros:

Localização espetacular, bom café da manhã e dos funcionários. Os funcionários são muito gentis e cordiais

Cons:

Não gostei do restaurante SENSE. Achei extremamente caro para o que nos ofereceu. Não caiam nessa cilada! Demais disso, eu fiz a reserva do restaurante SENSE com bastante antecedência para a noite de ano novo e no dia de celebrar a virada me colocaram em uma mesa com a vista prejudicada da Acrópole

Tolle Lage
Pros:

Lage ist toll! Man ist fußläufig sofort überall. Personal freundlich, aber beim Frühstück gab es Kommunikationsschwierigkeiten.

Cons:

Das Frühstück ist A la Carte und man bekommt nie das was man möchte, sondern immer noch zusätzlich etwas und wurde von uns nicht gegessen weil es zu viel war. Beispiel: Man bestellt eine Scheibe Brot, bekommt 2 und muss dann im Müll landen. Sehr schade!
Die Duschen, Fugen und Ränder sind schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen und sind schwarz. Nicht 5 Sterne würdig.
