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.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

We stayed for one overnight on our way back from the islands to the airport. The room was spacious, the terrace a really nice bonus, and location very convenient to lots of restaurants and shops. The staff were extremely friendly. And we were pleasantly surprised that the included breakfast was not an American-style buffet of cereal and old pastries, instead it was eggs and crepes cooked to order, delicious coffee, yogurt, fruit and more!
