Charming, perfectly located within walking distance of all major sights. Close also to many restaurants, car hire agencies and Acropoli Metro Station. Room is spotless, shower is small but fantastic rain shower head. Lighting in the bathroom could be a bit brighter for gentlemen to shave with confidence 🙂. Sense restaurant offers an elevated dining experience — not to be missed. The breakfast menu has interesting offerings; the only negative comment is the quality of the cooking varies from one day to the next depending on who’s staffing the kitchen… Overall, an excellent hotel. We would gladly return, and highly recommend!
