Pros:

La ubicación es excelente. El personal amable, aunque sería bueno que alguno hable español

Cons:

En los 5 días que estuve nunca limpiaron la habitación. El wifi no funciona y cuando pregunté me dijeron que ya saben y que no lo pueden arreglar.

Pros:

Location was great, especially being able to see the Acropolis from the rooftop. Very clean and the bed and shower were great. Room might be a bit on the small side if more than 1 person. Has a fridge and a kettle which I like. Breakfast was good as well. Would stay again.

Great value for money and excellent location
Pros:

The hotel is in an excellent location right in the middle of town, very close to Plaka and the Acropolis, with everything within walking distance.
The bedroom was clean and had a great air conditioning system, which was very important during the hot weather. While it is not a luxury hotel, it provides good, clean rooms at an affordable price in the center of Athens. Additionally, there was a good choice of options for breakfast, which was served in a large, bright room. The photo below is the view from the breakfast bar.

Cons:

The bathroom is very small but just about manageble. A sliding door into the bathroom would be so much better.
