Un 5* stelle decadente che non vale il prezzo pagato
Pros:

Ubicazione, vicino alla Plaka e alla Acropoli

Cons:

Personale colazione non molto servizievole. Vino bianco che non era freddo, il cameriere diceva che era a 4º. Poi è arrivata una cameriera gentile, bionda, che ha risolto tutto.
Alle 5 pm non ci sono più asciugamani per la piscina

Pros:

A la réception admirable et le personnel en général

Cons:

Les chambres ne sont pas du 5 étoiles
C'est vieux rien pour poser ses affaires pas de tablette, une robinetterie vieille une baignoire avec rideau !!!! pour du 5e étoiles ça craint quand même.
Les chambres des hôtels Ibis budget sont mieux équipées

We made the best of our trip and definitely recommend the Rooftop Restaurant and Bar, the Museum and Architectural place
Pros:

Prime location, 7th floor restaurant and Bar very nice, Views were amazing, staff was helpful…some not so pleasant. Beds were great! Museum and great restaurants within 2-3 blocks…bazaar type streets for Sovereigns.

Cons:

Outdated Hotel needs to be renovated to bring up-to-date. The view of The Temple of Zeus and The National Garden was under reconstruction across from the Hotel which obstructed the view….no mention of this on their website for a price reduction while under construction. The flat screen TV was too small and no Movie Options, very limited channels. HVAC needs to be updated to refrigerated air…no wash cloths, had to request.
Blow dryer was next to toilet and did not stretch to the mirror to blow dryer hair. Have to request iron and ironing board.
