Reception is very tiny, but the room was well sized for a European room. We had a double on the 3rd floor. Elevator worked. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was at a cafe down the street and was fantastic! We had an early ferry to Hydra one day and we got it to go (yogurt with granola, fruit, breads and jellies). The staff was quick to fix issues (housekeeping forgot to leave towels and we needed safe assistance). They were very friendly and had recommendations ready. The location is really perfect. We walked to everything but the Archaeology Museum. Plenty of restaurants to choose from (try Symposio). A view of the Acropolis from the road in front. City noise level, but not horrible because it’s a small street. I would go back. I wish I had taken pics in the room but they do look like the rendered drawings from the site.

The hotel is situated in a lovely scenic spot where the back of the acropolis can be seen. Walking distance to and from the centre is great. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Hopefully this place is completed soon so that breakfast, dinner etc can be enjoyed on site. Will definitely recommend

Every single person that works here was very helpful, kind and hospitable. It was like making a friend not just someone doing a job. Very clean and comfortable property. Very accessible to tourist attractions and lots of shopping and dining options. Unsure what to do they will help set you up with all you need.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. The rooms were spacious, modern, and immaculately clean. What truly made our stay memorable was the manager on site. Not only was she attentive and welcoming, but she went above and beyond to show us around, ensuring we knew all the amenities and highlights of the room. Highly recommend!
