Great hotel but not a great location
The hotel is very good. Staff very friendly especially in the bar and cleaners. Breakfast was excellent with lots of variety . The pool area was good . The actual location of the hotel isnt that great and can be a bit intimidating which is a real shame. However Taxis and uber are cheap and plentiful so use them especially at night.

We stayed at the property for two days. It was perfect for what we needed. The location was a little rough, however it was very close to the hop on hop off tour bus stops. The city itself is very walkable so it wasn’t an issue. The rooms were a little outdated, but again perfect for what we needed. The highlight of the hotel was the rooftop pool / restaurant. The views were STUNNING!

This hotel was generally okay. Cleanliness is OKAY - the carpet seemed dirty. I also hated the glass doors for the bathroom because there wasn't much privacy. It was my first time in Athens, and likely won't stay in this area again. It's not unsafe... but a little dodgy at certain parts especially when walking from the Omonia metro stop.

Great Service
George was excellent. We had a bit of a mix up with our reservation due to my error with the online booking. He was able to sort this out and also upgraded our room for free. Very much appreciated.
