Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and comfortable for my family of 5, and the attached lounge area added a cozy touch. The rooftop restaurant right above our room was a nice bonus, and the presence of two bathrooms, one with a jacuzzi, was a luxury we truly enjoyed. Cleaning both the outdoor and indoor pools kept them pristine throughout our stay.

The service here was a mixed bag. While some staff members weren't as friendly as expected, like in other hotels in Greece where they usually go above and beyond, Aggeliki at the front desk was absolutely lovely and made our experience memorable. The staff who went out of their way to assist us were fabulous.

My stay at the hotel was quite satisfying. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious with all the necessary amenities, although the view was lacking, overlooking the quiet courtyard at the back. The service was mostly helpful and professional, except for the disturbance of doors slamming frequently in the morning. The location was excellent, being near Plaka and within walking distance of major attractions in Athens. The dining experience offered a good variety of options, though some were underwhelming. Overall, the hotel provided a decent value for money with its convenient facilities and friendly staff.

Our stay at the hotel was a nice start to our trip. The roof deck pool was spectacular, although it's better to pay more for a room in a quieter area than facing the street. The room was very nice, but the bed required some modification due to soft corners.

I had a 450 euros/night suite on the 7th floor with a great view of the Acropolis. The room was a little small but more than adequate; however, it didn't quite match the pictures on the website. The room temperature was not cold and overall, it was just 'ok' for the price and star rating.

The hotel has a small room with a partial Acropolis view from the balcony, very clean and comfortable but needs improvement on bathroom size and tightness of doors. The service is excellent and very courteous, offering additional help without extra cost. The location is perfect for exploring Athens with easy access to attractions, restaurants, and shops. The dining experience is top-notch with a beautiful Acropolis view and should extend breakfast hours. The facilities provided meet expectations.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were lovely but had an unpleasant odor. They were as expected in size, not too small for two people to manage, and included typical bathroom amenities like a bath/shower, bathrobe, and slippers. However, considering the price and star rating, the room quality was just 'ok'. The service was a highlight, with staff being very helpful overall, although there were instances of slow service and communication challenges. The location was excellent, close to tourist attractions and right in the heart of the city center. On the downside, the dining experience was a bit of a hit and miss, with delicious food but issues with staff language skills or attentiveness. The facilities were adequate but not exceptional.
