Central Stay with Good Amenities

central location rooftop bar

This hotel provided a central location convenient to sights. It was a short walk to Monastiraki Square and its metro station, giving simple access to the airport. I also enjoyed the rooftop bar that offered great views of the Acropolis at night.

The room I was allocated felt a little small. It was sold as a double room but seemed to be fitted with barely enough space for a single bed. The old decoration.

Facilities

9/10

The rooftop bar offers drinks and great views, especially at night. I loved it. There is also a supermarket right downstairs from the hotel for convenient access to groceries and personal items.

Dining

9/10

Breakfast included many food options for everyone such as traditional Greek pastries, spanokopita, tiropeta, and sweet cream. There were also meats, cheeses, eggs, yogurt, cereal, breads, and jams available and all were fresh.

Rooms

8/10

The room was equipped with air conditioning, a benefit for hot days. The beds were very comfy. The cleaning staff maintained rooms well. They were unobtrusive and industrious. Rooms were spacious.

Location

The hotel is situated centrally near many dining and shopping options. It is also located within walking distance to many historical sites. It was a 15 minute walk to the Acropolis and a 10 minute walk to the Roman Forum.

Solid Stay in Central Location

breakfast option rooftop view convenient luggage storage central location

The breakfast offered many options. I found fresh fruit and pastries daily. The rooftop bar provided excellent views, and I enjoyed having a drink there one evening. The staff stored my luggage before check-in, convenient. The location was near many attractions.

The bathroom was quite small. I felt a bit cramped while showering.

Rooms

8/10

The room included a comfortable bed. It also had air conditioning, though the temperature control was not precise. The room size was adequate for a single traveler, though storage space was somewhat limited.

Location

9/10

The hotel is situated close to Ermou Street. It's just a one-minute walk. Monastiraki is about three minutes away. Syntagma Square can be reached in about ten minutes, so the hotel is quite central and convenient.

Facilities

9/10

The rooftop restaurant features views. The breakfast area on the ground floor includes many tables. I saw several elevators. It made accessing upper floors easy. The front desk offered 24-hour service.
