Fabulous stay in a gorgeous hotel that was clean, bright and had plenty of mirrors everywhere. Central to everything wit
Pros:

Beautiful clean hotel with fabulous staff and food. Excellent buffet breakfast every morning and staff were always so helpful. Uber to Acropolis and surrounding squares generally €9 so great location and amazing view of Mount Lycabettus from the roof top pool - felt as if you were literally beside it!

Cons:

Water/tea and coffee were not replenished by room service which was most unusual for a 4 star hotel.

I would not stay again. Take my advice and look elsewhere, even if you must pay slightly more .
Pros:

The staff were very helpful and courteous at the property. Unfortunately with many issues with the place itself, they just nodded their heads and said “yes we know”.

Cons:

The gym/fitness suite is non existent. Just a room that’s not out of bounds and has ‘work in progress’ written upon the door. Was a reason I booked the place. On looking inside the room it’s just a cross trainer and a few bits of broken equipment.
It’s reasonably clean around the place but it’s very dated. All the carpets have stains on them and the place overall really isn’t close to the star rating it’s given on this app. The pool doesn’t open until 11am which is frustrating as it was another reason I’d booked this hotel. So you couldn’t sunbathe or really enjoy the sun until after 11am. The pool itself is a little grimey. Very much older and dated. Not like the pictures.
The buffet did not include any fresh fruit cut up. Mostly tinned fruit was on offer and the selection really wasn’t that great. Coffee too was not very good. The juices also were dreadful. I only went once as I just decided not to eat there after trying the breakfast.

Each morning I was awoken by voices I believed were workers. Very loud and walls are very thin. The curtains do not black out the light into the bedrooms.

On arrival to my room I did not have any coffee, water, tea and this arrived later on.

My complaints were always met with “we know” from staff . The area local to the hotel was a little rough.
