This hotel was really beautiful in design, cleanliness, and an incredible location right near the main Plaka in Athens. It was fantastic for all of those things. That being said, the staff at the front desk both when we checked in and departed were really unpleasant and, as a result, unprofessional. It was as if we were bothering them. The facility itself is perfect but they need to work with their staff on courtesy and kindness to customers.

Very comfortable stay, excellent breakfast.

Very clean and comfortable rooms. Location was good too, just 10-15 min walk to Acropolis. The view of Acropolis from the hotel rooftop is partial and that too if no one else is sitting there, but the sister property (Plaka Hotel), which is 5 min away has excellent views from its rooftop bar. Gentleman at the desk during check-out was bit rude, but others were very nice. The free breakfast is very very nice and had a good variety of continental and Greek dishes.

A small hotel located in a quiet street very near the Plaka. Check in was easy and staff was very accommodating. Rooms are on the small side, but they were comfortable and the air conditioning worked really well. I thought the breakfast buffet was wonderful with a nice variety including eggs, bacon, sausage, pastries, yogurt, deli meats, croissants etc. Hotel allowed us to store luggage after check out before we had to transfer to Piraeus for our cruise.
