Old hotel, not matching for younger generations, reasons why ; too dark inside room, no enough power outlets (can not charge mobile beside beds, just available under desk far from beds), elevators are so slow, that's why breakfast restaurants are mess.

Super convenient location! Close to the best areas in Athens. The view from the breakfast is beautiful and the breakfast was excellent, a full buffet. Front desk staff very nice and helpful. The wait staff at the breakfast were already starting to close up the buffet and tables at 930am (the buffet closes at 10am) making the experience feel rushed and just overall not the nicest staff up there. The pool is great but should be opened early, 11am is way too late and 730pm is way too early to close. Felt safe walking back to hotel at night. Overall, a great hotel for only have 2 nights in athens after our trip to the islands.

Great hotel- clean, comfortable beds, seems recently renovated, great and friendly helpful staff. I understand it is family run- the dedicated, responsive staff seems to bear that out with friendliness and flexibility. Location cannot be beat (walking distance to Acropolis/Museum), and the hotel’s rooftop view of the Acropolis is superb. Rooftop restaurant food also first rate fresh, creative and delicious. Wait staff could not be more professional, attentive and nice. We had a great stay, and wound up eating at the rooftop restaurant repeatedly, always perfect meals.
