Great location right in the centre next to the Acropolis, very small boutique hotel with good size rooms. Nice stuff, good service with fantastic breakfast room overlooking the Acropolis. However, for what it’s offering, rather expensive.

Great location and very nice hotel. I don't know if it the value for the money was there, but I did appreciate the high-end amenities, the helpfulness of the staff and the location. We only stayed for one evening to catch an early flight back home, so I don't know if we got the full experience of staying there. Regardless it's a lovely hotel and would definitely recommend if it's within your budget.
