The property's location is the single biggest asset. The rooms are poorly maintained - black mold in the showers (multiple rooms).
But the worst was the staffs willingness to work.
Housekeeping told me they would NOT clean the mold.
Restaurant Staff refused to make fried eggs - because it was not on the buffet schedule.
Frontdesk lied to me about the return of the Manager and the Daytime Front Desk people refused to attempt to resolve the alarm coming from another Building.
Nicos the evening Front Desk worker - actually called the Police and resolve the alarm issue and was the only person who was able to provide any reliable suggestions.
Had to have Expedia get involved to contact the Manager - who offered to move me to another room.

The hotels location is excellent. The rooms are decent size by European standards
There is school in the back, and the kids are noisy and seem to be on break constantly. In addition church-bells ring every so often. The beauty of the hotel is when you open the windows you see the acropolis illuminated by night. you can also see it from the restaurant terrace It is Nice to sit up there.

Great!
The Plaka location was perfect. The modern decor was appealing. The room was comfortable and the view to the Acropolis from it as well as the patio restaurant was amazing. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. I would stay there again. The nightly rate was reasonable.

It has an excellent roof terrace, supported by efficient and friendly staff. The ground floor is also very good, and the breakfast arrangement is good for the hotel category. I thought the bedroom somewhat tired and ready to have a re-fresh.

Hotel is well located. Staff were helpful. They could use felt on the bottom of their chairs and tables to quiet the sliding noise on ceramic tile.

Staff was amazing and accommodated an early check in as we had just arrived from the USA and our small children were exhausted. That meant a lot to us and we definitely recommend this hotel!

Good central location
Mould in the shower
Shower curtain not effective it stuck to you while using the shower.
Strange bathroom door handle.
No plug sockets at side of bed.
Breakfast was average.
Not worth £100 per night.

The front desk was very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and clean. Great location. Walkable distance from food and shopping. Large spread of food for breakfast. Our room was right by a school and was a bit noisy early in the morning and during the day but wasn’t a problem for us.
