Beautiful lobbies and common elements. Easily walkable to many sites and restaurants . It’s time to upgrade the bedding and room electronics. We stayed for five nights and this was the least comfortable room out of our fifteen days in Greece. There are much more comfortable accommodations near by in the same price point. I believe this establishment is geared towards more business conference than vacationers. We stayed on the second floor in one of the panoramic view suites. I would stay again once the updates are made, but until then I do not recommend for staying several nights like we did.

Honestly didn’t like anything but the shower. The staff were extremely rude. There were no towels and it took over an hour to get some. We even offered to go down. The room was very hot. Ac didn’t work so we had to open the windows. The bed was comfortable though and the shower was good. Not pristine or up to date. Needs an over haul. The acropolis was in better shape.

The hotel built long ago and for 5 star it should be renovate, the furniture are very faded colour. The public area is nice, it seems weird to pay for cappuccino at breakfast. The bed was very comfort. So it is fine hotel but for 5 star someone has to invest for quiet total room renovation.

We had a lovely stay here and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast buffet and view from the rooftop restaurant were great and it was very easy to get to points of interest and transport options. Our only comment would be that the hotel sells itself as having a pool, but the pool and access to the surrounding terrace are only available seasonally! Access to both starts in May so if this is part of your reason to book this hotel, double check it will actually be available!

This is a lovely hotel right in the centre of Athens. The decor is very traditional full of marble and wood you would expect to see in a historical Greek hotel. The facilities were ok. The breakfast was a bit ropey towards the end of the sitting, being cold and little left. The to in the room was from the 1990’s with little to no signal.
