The room was spacious, and very comfy beds. The breakfast was okay, depending on what you chose. Overall, the Residence is a clean hotel.

That the hotel does not have a restaurant and every time you need lunch or dinner you have to order out.

The location is perfect.

There were a few mosquitos in the room and they sang many songs around me at night. The water pressure in the shower was very low.

A really nice boutique hotel, well equipped large rooms, fitted to high quality. Quiet and comfortable. Good breakfasts included in the price. It's centrally located in Olympia/ Kirkos, but down a quiet cobbled back street. The staff are all very friendly and helpful

Nothing. This is a great place to stay

Like the place, it's comfortable

The breakfast could have been improved. A full English breakfast had half a sausage, very little portion of beans and eggs. No shower curtain in the bathroom
