Visita Atenas
Pros:

El alojamiento está muy bien ubicado cerca a todas las atracciones y restaurantes
El checking es fácil si llegas tarde
El personal es muy atento

Cons:

Solo indicar que no hay ascensor por lo que si te toca un piso alto debes tenerlo en cuenta
En nuestro caso fue el primer piso y no tuve problemas

Affordable Price, Great Location!
Pros:

The hotel's location is fantastic. The hotel manager, George, was very helpful and provided all the information in detail. The hotel has a terrace, and there was also a small indoor balcony in the room. It offered ideal value for money. It's within walking distance of everything and close to metro stations. The room was very clean.

Great location
Pros:

This was out third trip to Athens and this was in the best location so far. The streets around the hotel were very safe at night and you are in walking distance to all the local attractions.

Cons:

Just be mindful that if you book the terrace studio as we did you will have people coming up to look at the view all hours of the night. But the view was worth it.

Зручне розташування
Pros:

Готель нормальний, зручне розташування, до метро в аеропорт ~5 хв, до входу в Акрополь 10 хв. Посередині туристичний центр міста. Я свідомо вибрала дешевий найменший номер для 1 особи, бо була проїздом. Так що всі недоліки щодо моєї кімнати опишу, в інших можливо все добре. Плюсом в шафі є фумігатор і пластинки до нього, бо комарі!

Cons:

Те що кімната мінімалістична зрозуміло з ціни. Але 1 розетка і та розташована в незручному місці це занадто. Туди треба вмикати по черзі зарядку для телефона, чайник, а і ще фен бо у ванній кімнаті немає жодної розетки! Душова кабіна дуже маленька, мені норм, але крупним особам там не поміститися. І щодо освітлення - теж мінімальне, світло тільки у ванній.

Pros:

מיקום מדהים דקה הליכה מהארמו (הרחוב הראשי)
מלא בתי קפה מסעדות חנויות וכו' מסביב. המארח ג'ורג' פשוט בן אדם מקסים, נוח, סבלני וחם. הוא ממש שמח לעזור בכל דבר. הוא דובר אנגלית מצוין. בחדר יש 2 כיווני אוויר, 2 יציאות לטרסות מהממות. לא קטן מדיי, זרם מים טוב במקלחת ומים חמים תמיד. מי ברז ניתנים לשתיה. מזגן מצוין!

Cons:

המקלחת קצת צפופה, אין מעלית אז קשה לעלות את המדרגות אחרי יום חם ומפרך. קשה לעלות ולהוריד מזוודות. ה-wifi טיפה איטי ומתנתק פה ושם אבל זה היה לעיתים יחסית רחוקות.

Good room and location, but not for people who have mobility issues as there were many stairs.
Pros:

The room was small, but it had very high ceilings. The bed was very comfortable. My room had a beautiful view of an old church and a garden terrace. The shower was tiny, but the showerhead itself had great pressure and the water was very hot. This room would be unsuitable for a significantly overweight person.

Cons:

I was surprised that the hotel manager was only there until 6 PM; there should be someone staffed at the front desk 24/7. The next day, there was a different person at the front desk. My room faced the back of the building, which unfortunately faced also a noisy restaurant with outdoor seating. I also did not know that the church behind the building would ring the bells on every hour; however, this was a minor issue since the bells were not that loud. I wish there was a luggage rack for my suitcase. The AC had a somewhat mildewy odor. It was inconvenient that the lights in the hallways had to be turned on every time I wanted to walk down the hall.
