It was an old property but they did the best with it. The bed could use an update and the shower curtains could be longer so as to actually reach the shower floor. Even though the room did not have a mini-ref, they put one on each floor for the guest to share. No one touched my water. Breakfast was very basic. Ok for short stays as long as you are not very picky.

A roof patio with table & chairs would have been nice as there was a great view of the Acropolis at night.

We stayed in Cecil Hotel for two nights and it was a pleasant stay. Its a vintage hotel that offers a true Greece vibe! Small marbled frontage you will miss if you walk too fast, and marbled floor that's correct for the period. The antique elevator is fascinating, it still worked flawlessly! Clean room and definitely no bugs! Free internet and free continental breakfast on the first floor. Thumbs up!

Very near the market and Monastraki Square. Neat rooftop. Despite the hotel being older, there is some nice charm with the elevator and furnishings. Breakfast was ok, and it was available early at 7am.

The shower curtain in the bathroom needs to be longer as the shower now in use is short, leading to water splattering on the bathroom floor. This leads to a watery mess after the shower not to forget more work for the poor maids.

Hotel is basic. Breakfast just bread, sliced ham, sliced cheese, boiled eggs, cereal. No toaster. Rooms basic, tiny shower, noisy at night due to people shouting all night and traffic noise. Surrounds not nice after dark. Roof terrace with acropolis view very nice, go up and see at night. Staff friendly and helpful.

The lift is a blessing for those with tender knees. Many hotels in Europe lack one. The included breakfast was fine, nothing special. Location is great. The tone of the place is rather somber, but the street vibe outside makes up for it.
