Slidt, gammelt og grimt
Cons:

Hotellet er i virkelig dårlig stand. Det er gammelt og nedslidt. Værelserne er slidte og har absolut ingen moderne faciliteter.
Hotellet er chokerende dårligt og virkelig ikke value for money

Excellent central hotel with old-school good service.
Pros:

Smart hotel with very stylish roof-top bar overlooking the Parthenon. Good swimming pool in the central courtyard. Great breakfast. Excellent service. Central location, walking distance from the Acropolis and the Plaka. Space to leave luggage on the final day.

Cons:

The cheaper rooms don't have windows but we found it simple to upgrade. There's a small gym, but it is down the street, not in the hotel.
