Hotel room small & basic, but central, & ok for 1 night. Breakfast was very good, though the bacon was raw, barely cooked. Sadly the biggest flaw was that the aircon was tirally inadequate, barely cool at its lowest setting & with the highest fan on. In Athens temperatures of 34-36°, I expected far more effectiveness. It was uncomfortably warm overnight, so no good for getting any restful sleep.

The location is great! Near all main attractions, 5 min walk from the Syntagma metro, very convenient. The breakfast has good variety of food. Amazing view of the Parthenon from the hotel’s roof top. Would stay again at the hotel when in Athens next time.

Nice boutique, family owned hotel. In a quiet area with short walk to the beach and restaurants. Hostess was very friendly and helpful with arranging transportations. Good place to stay if you want a low key hotel without pool or other amenities.
