Very nice hotel in central Athens. Location is key, very walkable to attractions, dining and transportation. Room condition is very modern. Provided amenities are more than enough. FUSE restaurant provides a very nice view of acropolis. Staffs are very attentive.

Amazing boutique hotel in fabulous location

Fabulous location - short walk to all the sites and in centre of the old town restaurants and shops. The view of the Acropolis from the restaurant for breakfast or dinner was stunning and all the staff were excellent. Had the tasting menu one evening - amazing presentation and flavours. Breakfast was ordered from a wide selection of dishes all freshly prepared and served to the table rather than buffet style. Delicious.

The positives about this hotel are location and the friendly staff. The views to the Acropolis are fantastic. It is on the expensive side. The hotel only has one small tiny elevator.

Everything was great, location, reception, etc. However breakfast service is too slow , food takes a long time to be served, and our order was wrongly taken several times (for two days in a row) by the young lady... She should write down the orders because she can't memorize them all... To finalize, the portions of food are pretty small, sometimes even ridiculous.

AthensWas welcoming

Hotel location is excellent for most of the major sites like the Acropolis, the Acropolis museum, the agoras, Hadrians gate, the Panathenaic stadium etc. All are within a 15min walk. There are plenty of restaurants close by and the Monastiraki, Syntagma and other squares are all easily walkable as well. The room we stayed in was well equipped and very comfortable and met our needs perfectly. The staff at the hotel from the people at reception to the staff serving breakfast really made us feel welcome and always had a smile to brighten the day. The only thing i would have liked to see was an area where you could sit nd have a chat without feeling like you had to buy something. This is only a minor point as most of time when we got back to the hotel we were ready to shower and sleep.
