Pros:

Great service, beautiful area and clean and tidy room.

Cons:

Maybe a bit difficult to access for older guests due to the hilly area and distance from public transport. The neighbourhood is really vibrant so it was no issue for us as young people.

nous reviendrons!
Pros:

La terrasse au dernier étage où l'on prend le petit déjeuner est fabuleuse avec une vue sur l'acropole et le lycabet.
le petit déjeuner est très bien, d'un excellent rapport qualité / prix
L'hotel est très bien situé .
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le fait que le dernier jour après avoir rendu la chambre nous avons pu profiter d'une salle d'eau avec toilettes et douche!

SECOND TIME THERE - WOULD GO BACK WITHOUT ANY HESITATION
Pros:

THIS IS IN A FASCINATING PART OF ATHENS - WHERE YOU WILL SEE LOCAL PEOPLE ENJOYING THERE DAY AND NIGHT ACTIVITIES , AND PLEASE JOIN IN WITH THEM - LOTS OF BARS AND SOME RESTAUARNTS WITHIN A SHORT WALK, ITS AWAY FROM THE TOURISTY BIT ( WHICH OF COUSE IF AMAZING)
IF YOU LIKE A GOOD WALK INTO THE CITY FIRST AND A STROLL BACK THIS IS THE PLACE, WE DID , BUT TAXIS ARE VERY ECOMOMICAL IF YOU PREFER THAT , SOME GREAT VIEWS OF ACROPOLIS FROM ONE OF THE ROOMS - WORTH A BOOK

Cons:

NOTHING
