Good hotel with inconsistent room service
Pros:

Efficient check in and check out. The staff at the reception were cordial and helpful.
Good size room.
The toilet had a bidet.
The breakfast and the dinner at the Roof Garden had very good food.
The view from the Roof Garden was excellent.

Cons:

The rooms supposed to have an Acropolis view got a "bend your neck to see it" Acropolis view, but somehow some rooms that were supposed to get the garden view also got an Acropolis view.
The room service was inconsistent. The food was great for dinner. But the same items ordered for lunch the next day looked and tasted worse. Also, the staff was never correct at stating how long the delivery will take. Once they said 10 minutes, but delivered after 50 minutes. This happened multiple times.
