Excellent and good value, second time in 12 months and look forward to next time.
Pros:

Liked the peacefully calm, stylish interior, high ceilings and tastefully furnished.
Well-located in city centre, a short walk from Monastiraki Square (and not far from Syntagma.

Cons:

An extra (second) cup of coffee at breakfast had to be charged to my room, which seems petty. No big deal, but “breakfast included” could allow an extra cup. The staff in the restaurant were sometimes less attentive than one might expect. Twice I waited patiently, then needed to attract attention, and neither time was it busy. Easily fixed, so don’t let this put you off.

טוב מאוד
Pros:

את המיקום, והצוות החביב.

Cons:

החדרים קצת חשוכים בעיני והיינו בחדר צמוד למעלית אמרו לנו שלא שומעים כשביקשתי חדר אחר, אבל שמעו ממש וזה דיי הפריע לשהות שלנו. אם לא זה אני חושבת שהיינו נהנים מאוד

Never Again – Keep Away from This Hotel
Cons:

This was one of the most disappointing hotel stays I have ever had. The hotel is old and poorly maintained. Our room was missing a door handle, and the toilet seat was so worn out and cracked that using it was very uncomfortable. It wasn't dirty, but it was clearly old and should have been replaced long ago.

The main reason I chose this hotel was the swimming pool, which is advertised as one of the property's main attractions. However, only after carefully reading the description can you find the information that access to the pool is not included in the stay. Instead, you have to pay extra to book the entire spa area. This information is easy to miss, while the pool is prominently featured in the hotel's listing. In my opinion, the way this is presented is misleading.

Breakfast was another disappointment. There is no buffet; instead, you can choose from only a few fixed breakfast options. The portions are small and not filling.

I definitely do not recommend this hotel and would advise others to think twice before booking. The property is outdated and poorly maintained, the swimming pool is advertised in a misleading way, and the breakfast is far below expectations. Had I known what the experience would actually be like, I would have chosen a different hotel.
