Very two star hotel in best location.
Pros:

Great location. Rooms very clean.
Lovely rooftop terrace.
Renovated bathroom.
View from room was great too.

Cons:

Very grumpy man on check in. Other staff were nice.
Booked a room with two beds with Terrace which I have had before. On check in only double bed was available so had to take that and share-fortunately with best mate.
Very small room for two.

Don't stay here. PERIOD. Worst hotel ever !
Pros:

Location is great, just at the center of everything and walking distance, very close to the subway and Acropolis also. Just at the entrence street of Plaka, famous tourist area with lost of restaurants and shopping stores.

Cons:

This place is more like a hostel than a hotel. Room was extremely small, one bed barely fits in the room, you can hardly walk inside. Bed was not comfortable. Bathroom is so small you can't bend down and wash your face. Old hotel, needs a total renovation. No TV, no hair dryer. No remote control for air conditioner, we asked from a receptionist and it took a long time to find a working one for us. Worst "hotel" I have ever stayed my entire life. I stayed at much much better places for about 30% cheaper. I have visited Athen/Greece many times for business also and stayed at much better hotels with better prices, so just want to inform here that there are many much better hotels around. I love Greece and everything about it but I have to be honest about this experience.

Pros:

Superbe hotel. Beaux meubles en bois de qualité. Jolie chambre. Lits très confortables. Nous venons chaque année avec plaisir. La réception ouverte 24h/24 est un vrai avantage. Un vue imprenable sur la terrasse de l'hotel pour les repas.

Très bien. Je recommande.
Pros:

Très bien situé. Correspond exactement à la description. Lits confortables, chambre avec terrasse donnant sur l'Acropole. Pas bruyant, bien qu'à deux pas de rues très passantes.

Cons:

Rien, tout était très bien.

Pros:

Posizione centrale

Cons:

La camera nel seminterrato un completo disastro, odore di umido e stantio, il giardino è in comune con l'altra stanza, quindi gli occupanti dell'altra stanza volendo possono entrare in stanza, aprendo la zanzariera da fuori se si lascia la finestra aperta. Tutto abbastanza sporco. Prezzo comunque alto
