The hotel was great, staff at front desk were amazing and friendly. Night time on foot in the area was a little scary but once inside all safe and cozy. I’m sure that will change since the neighborhood is under remodeling I hear. We would stay again. Again the people at front desk top tier. I would hire them for my hotel if I could.

The area at first looked a little sketchy but it was actually very safe and lively and we could walk everywhere. Our room had an amazing full view of the acropolis as does the rooftop. Very friendly staff. Breakfast is in a very nice restaurant down the street

The roo. Was very clean a d modern with a large window that opened. Lobby was quite nicely dedorated and the rooftop patio view of the acropolis was a highlight. I dont think i would stay in this exact area area as it was quite gritty but nicer more manicured areas were nearby. Hotel was great, area less so.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is situated near the Psirri square, between Monastiraki and Omonoia square (please stay away from Omonoia as there is high criminality and lots of drug addicts around the place sometimes taking drugs in broad daylight). The location is very good for enjoying a meal or coffee at Psirri, 10 minutes from Monastiraki and about 20 minutes from the Akropolis. The place does not have hotel facilities. There is no bar or cafe inside. Breakfast is served at a place nearby. You will be better not buying it and simply getting your own. The air-conditioning in the room was extremely loud and clearly needs repair. The TV was hanging on one side. There can be noise coming from outside. Staff was generally kind and helpful. I would have liked some flexibility with check out. I think 11am is too early especially when check in is at 3pm the earliest. This place is more suited for young travellers. For what it is I would consider it at the pricier side.
