Reception, the cooking personnel, the waitresses and the cleaning staff are all absolutely wonderful, and absolutely warm, they do terrific jobs each and every day. Asides from really liking the hospitality and the cleanliness of this place, I loved the a la carte breakfast menu, definitely worth paying extra for. Thank you for making my stay so pleasant.

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon and had a wonderful time. We got a room with a balcony. Our balcony faced east and we got wonderful morning sun to warm us up before heading out for the day. Acropolis was visible from our balcony but only if you looked in the right direction. Would highly recommend the balcony rooms to anyone considering it. The breakfast was convenient and food was good. All of the staff spoke English. Location was just far enough from the tourist areas to be quiet but close enough to walk around the city and to nearby restaurants.

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.
