The shower leaked everywhere and the toilet wasn’t flushing properly. The beds weren’t that comfortable and the place definitely looked older in person than the photos online.

Acropolis Magenta
Friendly, helpful staff, well-located boutique hotel. I especially liked the enclosed rooftop area to relax in with a beautiful view of the Acropolis! The rooms fine but a little sparse. Extra towels were not free, but other than that it was a very good value.
