Lovely staff and perfect location, rooftop pool was also a rare find in the centre of Athens. Slightly disappointed by the standard of the rooms as they certainly weren’t as luxury as the pictures lead you to believe, felt budget which was a shame!

Ok but not the best

Hotel was convenient located near a metro . Rooms are not what I wouldn’t call it superior at all ( didn’t look that renovated ) Very noisy in the room you can hear everyone walking past talking , you can hear upstairs when they move furniture . Do not stay near the lifts as there are stairs and they serve as a tunnel of noise . Pool area is nice but unless you park your bum on a chair after breakfast you won’t get a seat all day long . Breakfast was a good spread , dinner was lovely

I don’t know what the ‘vip benefits’ were for this hotel because I didn’t notice anything which stood out to me but overall (barring the amount of time taken to get my room ready) the cleaners were extremely nice, the breakfast was great, the staff were nice and ensured new towels were brought to us when requested. Would recommend staying here as the train station is transport is also very convenient.

Everything was exactly what we expected and more! Loved the atmosphere and ALL staff were wonderful. We did drinks, dinner and pool two nights and several times went to the bar as the drinks great. The apetizer menu is awesome and we often ordered from there as everything was wonderful. My son visited the rooftop several times for the sushi and edamame! The Stanley helped arrange transportation to airport and that was very helpful and convenient. Breakfast was good with lots of variety and plenty of space to sit. The air conditioning throughout the hotel is great and I especially enjoyed drinking coffee from my balcony. We booked a few excursions and transportation was included with pick up in front of hotel or just a few steps away. There is a wonderful bakery with a very large variety of pastries including sandwiches, salads and hot food. All very good and the portions for hot food was bigger than expected. We could have ordered just one hot plate to share between two. We traveled via taxi/uber and we explored the city and market by using the train. Be adventurous try new things The Stanley will be there to help!

This hotel is all about location and views. Perfectly situated, it’s easy to explore the area on foot, but the real gem is the rooftop — absolutely spectacular and the best place to unwind, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy the city from above. The rooms were fine: comfortable enough, though nothing remarkable, and the property as a whole would benefit from some renovation to match the standard of its rooftop. Still, the experience was enjoyable, and with a little investment in updates, this hotel could go from good to outstanding.

Decent location (although told by a guide later that it’s ver close to the red light district!) and generally a good hotel. Metro stop directly out front which is handy and easy access to Acropolis etc. Stayed in a double with extra bed on 8th floor and the room was basic but fine. Bathroom was very small but ok. Had a great balcony though and being on the 8th floor allows you to easily walk up and down to the floor above for the pool and restaurant. The rooftop pool and bar are outstanding but the pool gets busy and is small. The restaurant, Sweet Basil is excellent! Beautiful food and views. Decent breakfast buffet as well. Overall would stay again as the price was pretty reasonable at about £550 for 3 nights at peak time.
