Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's excellent location and stunning views, particularly from the rooftop restaurant. However, many were disappointed with the service, citing rude staff and inadequate responses to requests. Cleanliness was also a concern, with reports of dusty rooms and poorly maintained areas.

Charlie, Oct 2019
Pros (+) The location could not be better. The rooftop restaurant has incredible views, and the breakfast was very nice.
Cons (-) The beds are rock hard, and the staff can be a bit grouchy. While the staff who work mornings at breakfast seem quite helpful and attentive, the bar staff seemed annoyed that we were there. Key cards failed a couple times during a week-long stay, so I had to bring mine to the front desk twice to have it reprogrammed. Others seemed to have this issue too.

Pros (+) Loved the room and it's close proximity to walkable parts of Athens. Also has a beautiful view of the temple of Zeus and the acropolis, both within walking distance. Hotel was comfortable and the service was good, though there were some issues with the room service. They were also kind enough to upgrade our room for free!
Cons (-) The room service had some issues, first with ordering then with delivery. We received the wrong dish, after having to call four times to get them to understand what we wanted. However they were quick to bring the correct one to us at no additional charge.

Pros (+) It was a great hotel for a one night stay in Athens. The staff was very helpful. The location of the hotel was perfect very close to Acropolis and main city area. I would stay here again & recommend to friends as well.
Cons (-) The bathroom could be updated it's very basic, decor updates are needed. Room service is too overpriced, luckily there's a lot of places to eat close by.

Pros (+) Loved the view of the Temple of Zeus and the Acropolis. The morning breakfast was terrific and good value.
Cons (-) The walk was very convenient, but the few shops next door made it look seedy to presence of the hotel. I thought 25.00 for a Margarita and 16 for a beer was a bit over the top. The prices for bar drinks make a traveler like me go elsewhere for a drinks, when I would really rather stay and drink in the relaxing atmosphere of the pool and hotel.
