Central Stay with Good Amenities

central locationrooftop barroom size
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.

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