Good location in Athens
Pros:

Very good location
Very friendly and kind staff

Cons:

Our first room was smelling cigarettes and our second one (on the way back from Greek island) was smelling like sewage. It was also a bit noisy but quite usual in this area nothing to do with the hotel infrastructure.

היה מעולה! סוויטה משפחתית מהממת! ארוחת בוקר בבית קפה זה להיט
Pros:

המיקום, החדר שהיה מרווח ויותר מהכל - המרפסות עם הנוף המהמם - שהקיפו את החדר . ממליצה מאד על סוויטה משפחתית בקומה ה 7, שמאפשרת להנות ולהתרווח עם נוף מטורף.
צוות מקסים בקבלה
מסעדות טובות בסביבה

המלון מעניק שובר לארוחת בוקר מפנקת ומצויינת בלב פסיקי, בבית קפה מעולה עם צוות ככ חמוד!
ממליץ ונחזור

Cons:

אהבנו את הסביבה, שהיא גם קשוחה וגם כיפית באותה מידה. לאוהבי סביבה עם גרפיטי על הקירות ושוק שיש למטה. מי שאוהב סביבה מצוחצחת, זה לא המקום בשבילו. האזור רועש ומגניב

Pros:

The hotel rooms are very nice, and the reception has a cool, stylish design. The location is good close to Monastiraki and the lovely Psiri area. I was upgraded to a better room, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating

Cons:

It’s very close to the center about 300 meters from a very nice and lively area, though the immediate surroundings feel very shady. It's just one street what makes you feel like you entered different area. The first room was quite noisy and bathroom canal smell however, the staff were very accommodating and didn’t hesitate to move me to another room.

Good central location, but disappointing views and a very small, impractical bathroom. I’d recommend checking room detai
Pros:

What I loved most was the location — it was very central and made everything easy to reach. And staff were kind and helpful.

Cons:

What I liked less was the view. I chose this hotel because it mentioned views of the Acropolis, but the room actually faced the street with no Acropolis view at all, so I’d recommend double-checking if you’re booking it for that reason. I also didn’t like the bathroom, as there was hardly any space to put anything

Pros:

אהבנו את גודל החדר
את הניקיון את המיקום
ואת חדר הכושר החמוד.
הצוות מאד נחמד כולם
ונכונים מאד לעזור

Cons:

את העובדה שארוחת הבוקר במסעדה שנמצאת 3 דקות הליכה.
הנוף מהחדר לא וואו
אבל זה לא הפריע לנו.

Un hôtel d'exception proche du centre d'Athènes
Pros:

J'ai beaucoup aimé le fait d'être réapprovisionné en eau et en café tous les jours, c'était vraiment superbe !
La salle de sport est intéressante et propose beaucoup de services. Le personnel est super accueillant et souriant et malgré mon anglais misérable, ils ont tout fait pour m'aider à comprendre.
Je recommande très fortement ! En plus, il est à proximité de Monastiraki

Pros:

The location is within easy walking distance of lots of restaurants and shops. Although it does not have facilities within the hotel for breakfast, they have an arrangement with an excellent restaurant nearby for this.
The staff were also very pleasant and helpful.
The overall experience was good enough for us to not hesitate to book this hotel on our return visit, and the same would hold true for any future visits to Athens.

Cons:

The hotel is accessed by some quite narrow streets, and the first we stayed there, the taxi driver told us that he couldn't drive there and abandoned us about a kilometre away and this was at 2 o'clock in the morning. We have not had any issues with taxis again and just put the experience down to a very poor driver who couldn't find it (which is quite easy really).

Sehr gut, aber nicht so aussergewöhnlich wie beschrieben
Pros:

Die Lage, Getränke kostenfrei verfügbar

Cons:

Die Bar und der Pool auf der Dachterrasse waren geschlossen. Das war sehr Schade, da ich mich wegen der 2 Sachen für das Hotel entschieden hatte!
