Çok iyi konum
Pros:

Tesisin konumu çok güzel, sokağa adım atar atmaz Plaka bölgesinde buluyorsunuz kendinizi ve her yere yakın. Çalışanlar da güleryüzlü ve yardımcı oldular, tekrar tercih edeceğim.

Genial localización
Pros:

Me ha parecido un sitio correcto, la habitación era espaciosa y luminosa. El hotel está muy bien ubicado por lo que es muy fácil llegar a los sitios más céntricos de la ciudad. Además, la terraza superior con vistas a la Acrópolis es un lujo!

Cons:

Las instalaciones del baño podrían ser mejorables, especialmente la ducha, aunque cumplió su función

Man kann sagen: Lage Top, der Rest nicht so.
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist Klasse. Es liegt super zentral, man braucht nur 10 Minuten zur Acropolis und 3 Minuten nach Plaka. Restaurants, Cafes und Bäckereien sind nur einen Katzensprung entfernt.

Cons:

Durch die schön zentrale Lage, ist es leider sehr laut. Man hört bis spät Abends die Stadt und Musik. Auch innerhalb des Hotels ist es recht hellhörig.
Am schlimmsten ist jedoch die Kirche, welche genau gegenüber vom Hotel ist. Montags hat sie um 6.30 Uhr angefangen ein Glockenkonzert zu geben, nachdem sie Nachts um 1 Uhr das letzte mal geläutet hatte.
Zum Personal können wir nichts sagen, da die Rezeption nicht wirklich besetzt war, während wir dort waren.
Das Zimmer ist auf jeden Fall renovierungsbedürftig. Wasserschadenflecken an der Decke, kaputte Wände, sehr altes und kleines Badezimmer (in der Dusche kann man sich nicht umdrehen) und das Bett hat geknarrt, jedes mal, wenn man sich bewegt hat. Die Matratzen sind der Horror gewesen. Durchgelegen bis zum Lattenrost und viel zu weich.

Not everything is worthy for a great location
Pros:

The place has a great location in the city.

Cons:

Ants everywhere in the toilet, which had a shower with the doors broken (they didn’t close properly) and the floor wasn’t even flat.
The bed and pillow had plenty of room to improve.
We missed more plugs as ir you wanted to charge the phone you had to disconnect the lamp.

Great and would book it again.
Pros:

Location was terrific!
George is awesome and made everything great.
Their 3rd floor terrace overlooks Acropolis and the church tower.
The prices are great for this central location

Cons:

The room is small, and had to keep the window closed at night b/c of acoustics: any noises from other quests really carry…
