Not great, but good location
Pros:

The location was great, very close to all our favourite areas to visit in Athens. We could easily walk around all the city centre. The people working there were all very friendly. There was nice view of the Acropolis from our balcony and also from the terrace where they serve the breakfast.

Cons:

There was a lot of noise during the night and also the bell of the church was ringing non-stop every half an hour! The room could be cleaner. They could also add a shower cubicle in the bathroom as it only has a curtain and the water spreads everywhere. They could have better decoration of the room as it is very old-fashioned. The windows need to have moschito nets as they are really important for summer nights. They could have a better and safer place to store our luggage as they only kept them by the door next to the reception desk. The lift to the rooms is also very small - if you have more than one bag, you need to take the lift twice. Breakfast is very basic.

On a pas dormi de la nuit …
Pros:

L’emplacement , c’est pas loin du métro et le quartier est chouette.

Cons:

Il y avait une brique de lait encore dans le frigo. Les murs sont en papier , on mal dormi car on entendait tout ce qui se passait dehors et dans les couloirs. L’ascenseur est tout petit et très angoissant.

Pros:

We stayed in the family room with the balcony overlooking the Acropolis and the views were incredible. The staff was awesome and able to hold our bags since we got there before check in. The room was a little small, but it's Europe and I have stayed in smaller. The hotel and room were more than adequate and was in a great location! I would recommend this hotel if you are stating in Athens just for a night or two and plan to spend most of your time out exploring the city.

Our home in Athens
Pros:

We love this hotel and always return. It is so central, and the view of the Acropolis from some rooms and the rooftop is a joy. We love squashing into the lift with our bags. It is all part of the experience. The staff are very helpful.

Cons:

No complaints

Pros:

Posizione centralissima e super comoda per girare il centro a piedi. Personale disponibile e accogliente. Ottima la possibilità del deposito bagagli.
Molto suggestiva la vista dell’Acropoli dal terrazzo.

Cons:

Stanze piccole ma, data la posizione, si può accettare questo compromesso

Pros:

Loved the location, easy to get to from the metro.
It's not quite as close as the pic makes it seem, but it's an easy walk to the Parthenon & museum.
Beds are comphy & the front desk especially helpful.

Breakfast 8 euro, simple but includes a nice omlette

Cons:

The room was a little small but that's also normal.

Lit confortable et hôtel très bien situé.

Cons:

À déconseiller aux personnes claustrophobes : les espaces sont assez exigus, de l’ascenseur jusqu’au logement lui-même.

Would stay again, good value for money.
Pros:

The staff were amazingly helpful, providing directions and places to eat. The bed was clean, comfortable and a good size.

Cons:

The size of the room was a bit tight as was the bathroom and elevator. The included brekky was basic, yet satisfying. The balcony was tiny yet provided a view of The Acropolis.
