Great location. This was our second visit after first coming in 2019 and the hotel has definitely been expanded since then with the addition of the rooftop bar and restaurant. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Like the welcome of fresh lemonade on arrival. Lovely shower products.

We had a room on the fourth floor, directly underneath the bar/restaurant and it was pretty noisy as they were cleaning/tidying up at the end of the night. Breakfast was plentiful but I'd swap the amount of choice for inclusion of a fresh juice alongside the coffee. The breakfast menu choices were varied but the food wasn't quite as good as I remember.

The staff upgraded me to a really nice room with an Acropolis view and they also allowed my small dog to stay with me. The room was very comfortable and quiet. The bed was exceptional. Breakfast was nice and the neighborhood has a lot of delicious restaurants. If you like to walk this is the place for you - all the attractions, shopping, bars and restaurants are easy to reach. Bonus: location is also close to 2 Metro stations (Syntagma + Monastiraki) that go directly to Pireaus or the airport without having to change trains.

Great location (down a quiet street but 1 min away from the bustle of the high street with great pastry shop and frozen yoghurt shop on the corner, quick walk from Monstriaki square/metro, 5 min walk from retail shopping area, many g8 restaurants within 5 min walking distance including quick causal eats like Tylixto😋 and LUKUMAΔΕΣ 🤤, super walkable area but as well as public transport the hop off/on tour buses stop on the main street), lovely room (compact but well appointed), loved the Olivera bathroom products, pastries at breakfast scrummy, comfy bed, nice rooftop (view of the acropolis), bfast croque madam delish. Nice welcome lemonade. Able to store bags pre and post check out. Staff nice/chill.

No deal breakers but: Lift very cute looking but very small, slow and not responsive for needs. Eggs at breakfast were just average, a number of ways (e.g scramble and omlette). No check that I owned the bags I was collecting from a different staff member than the one who stored them. No receipt, ticket, room, name check etc. Could have been nicking anyone's bag.

Excellent location with very welcoming staff great breakfast with a really nice rooms the hotel has a limited rooms and all are comfortable and carefully designed. It was my 4th time visiting this place and I will definitely recommend it.

The room was smelling bad and the smell comes out from the bathroom. They tried to fix the plumbing but still smelling. They ask us the last day if we want to move to another room but we was already there two days before so we said no because we didn’t want pack and unpack again anyway that’s was my first time with such experience in this hotel and it was my 4th time visiting.

The property is amazing. Very clean, super location in the centre of Athens. Everything is curated in the details, including the breakfast cooked fresh for you every morning. The bed is one of the most comfortable I have ever tried. The staff is the real gem of the property: very professional and helpful.

The only thing we didn’t like was the noise coming from the lounge bars and restaurants around the hotel until late at night. But the hotel had very good double glazing windows and it’s really not something they can control. After day 2 you get used to it and the perks are just much more.

The central location (as a lonely female traveller, I always felt safe even though it's up a quieter side street), the gorgeous rooms and friendly, helpful staff.

I've never known a hotel send so many emails & Booking.com app messages before a stay. Hopefully they can review and minimise this. The hotel should also have someone who reads books regularly give them advice. Bedside lamps closer to the beds and more lamps in communal areas would help those of us who read as we travel.

John was fantastic!! He was very helpful and went out of his way to help.

The bathroom smelt like mould. When we notified the overnight staff, he seems uninterested to help. We also organised a transfer from the hotel, which never arrived. We waited 40m in the heat to only have to catch a taxi, as it never arrived.

The staff, the bathroom, the rooftop bar

The breakfast, because from the photos I thought it’ll be a buffet. You should update your photos… I felt kinda scammed. If I knew it weren’t a buffet I would prefer eating at the restaurant in the morning, and I hated the fact that you could choose only one main meal and that’s it. The least you could do is add a dessert… also the room was kinda dusty, there was dust in the air. But besides those 2 things I liked everything else .

I had a wonderful 4-night stay at this hotel and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the daily housekeeping was top-notch. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, with a wide variety of delicious options to start the day right. One of the highlights was the beautiful rooftop, which offered stunning views of the Acropolis. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Nicky at the reception, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect during my stay. The hotel's location was also fantastic, making it easy to explore the city. Overall, I have no complaints and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Nothing really. It was one of the best hotels I've ever been to

Minimalistic and modern hotel with stylish touch. The service is great, wonderful breakfast, beatiful rooms. Close proximity to 2 metro stations (Monastiraki and Omonia) and to Ermou street. Wonderful location, you can walk to all the key city center points. The hotel is easily 4 stars.

I would 've loved coffee with milk for breakfast (only black coffee options are free of charge) , but that didn't spoil my overall impression. Also it would be nice to have paper tissue box in the room. Other than that it was a perfect stay.
