Good place and location
Pros:

The breakfast was exceptional. The room was basic but adequate, the bar staff were very friendly, the location near the port and beach was very pretty. Lots of great restaurants nearby.

Cons:

The transfer to the airport is only once per hour and takes 30 minutes (not 20 as advertised) so you need to factor that in if you need to catch a plane. It was fine for us as we had a midday flight.

Geçerli tek gecelik konaklama için ama uzak.
Pros:

Kahvaltı

Cons:

Ulaşımda zorluk .Asansörler yeterli değil. Otelin dolu olduğu düşünülürse ve genelde tek gecelik konaklama yapıldığını herkes aynı anda inmek istediğinde 2 dar asansör hiç yeterli değil. Biz geliş ve gidişlerde ulaşımı kaçırdık cepten taxi tuttuk.

All ok.
Pros:

It's quite dated in style but comfortable enough. We were there for only one night and the location was good for that.

Cons:

No real complaints, though it was a bit expensive for what it is.

Very convenient
Pros:

The property is super conveniently located near the Rafina port. We were able to walk easily to the hotel from the port, stayed the night, then enjoyed the free shuttle service to the airport the next day.

Cons:

While smoking is not allowed in the rooms, you can tell that it was once allowed as the room has a residual smoke smell.
