This property is amazing. It has an excellent location and is very safe. Hotel staff is very accommodating. It was very clean and well-maintained and they did an excellent job of restoring this old mansion! The breakfast alone is worth the cost of this day as they had a chef who prepared individual breakfast for each person this was accompanied with a very nice selection on the Buffet and the waitress was very helpful and sweet! If I ever get back to Greece this will be the first accommodation I will book! Really the only negative thing for us was the pillows and that is just a personal preference honestly. This hotel was awesome! And I’m so thankful they took this mansion from the 1800s and restored it to its current splendor!

Lovingly restored beautiful building right in Plaka. Close to everything. A lovely roof terrace overlooking the neighboring rooftops and Acropolis. Friendly and helpful staff.

This hotel is recently renovated, clean, has friendly staff and is ideally located to easily walk to most of the ancient sites in the city center. It even has a rooftop deck with a great view of the acropolis hill perfect for sipping wine and ending the day. I would stay here again if I returned to Athens and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Fabulous location in Plaka, easy access for many of the ruins, walking distance. Restaurants, shops, bars, all in that location. There were 4 of us staying there and we would definitely stay there again.

Awesome boutique hotel

This hotel is too cute. It is in walking distance to everything. The staff was extremely nice. The continental breakfast is limited but who cares when you have the view of the acropolis.
