アクロポリスを感じる素敵な滞在でした。
Pros:

アクロポリスの夜景が美しくずっと眺められました。朝も美味しい朝食を絶景を見ながら頂けました。

Cons:

施設は特に問題ありません。が、ジュニアスイートを利用してバスタブがなかったのが確認不足でした。スパのプールも予約制なので時間が作れず身体がほぐれなかった。

Pros:

First time in Athens and stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. The location of the hotel exceeded my expectations. The rooms (we had 3) had recently been renovated and were very comfortable. Location was perfect and my family and I had a wonderful time. Staff were extremely helpful. Our first night we booked the rooftop restaurant and had a beautiful meal with views of the Acropolis. Highly recommend this hotel.
