Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
From the moment we walked in the door the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The welcome drink was very nice. The reception, restaurant and bar gave off a very trendy vibe and we loved having a drink in the evening before we headed out for food (though we did eat in the hotel restaurant on the first night and everything was delicious and good value) The air con in the room was very much appreciated as a respite from the 35+ degrees heat outside. We loved the layout and facilities in the room. The hotel is just a 10 min walk to a plethora of bars and restaurants in Psyri where we ate/drank most nights. It is an equal length walk in the other direction to the main hub of Syntagma Square as well as the Acropolis. All in all a fantastic little find and one we will definitely be recommending to friends.

Awesome big room!
This place was exactly what we needed. My son and I traveling back home from Lesvos, decided to stay one night in Athens. It had two king beds that are very comfortable and two showers along with two toilets. It was perfect.

Although the location looked a bit sketchy at first; the hotel was very modern and clean. Well-appointed room with a good shower, bathroom, and nice mattress. The Muse Bistro was a pleasant surprise with a chef-inspired menu with a great twist on classic Greek dishes. They also allowed a very unusual request by us.

For a new hotel, some finishing date already showing some wear and tear. We did not like bathroom configurations in two different rooms. There is no separation from the bedroom and bathroom. If you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, you have to turn on a main light which is annoying if there is anyone else in the room. The shower floor was very slippery when wet. The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. For the first 30 minutes, there were no staff outside to tell us what was happening. One of the guests called the fire department. When staff member arrived, he did not update the guests. No communication at all regarding the alarm.
