Trip advisor very rarely steers me wrong, but I would frankly rather stay in a hostel than this place. My friends and I have been traveling around Europe of our study abroad experience, so our standards really aren't that high. The minimum standard I expect from a hotel (especially) is cleanliness, which is where this place really fell short. Our... More

No doubt we found the best place to relax and explore Athens, a city center hotel that combines a great location and a quiet sleep. We stayed for three nights in the beginning of October, after returning from our island vacation in Naxos, and we found a friendly and helpful staff that directed us and gave us all the information...

Wonderful location in the heart of Athens. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by their friendly staff. The service was excellent; the facilities of the room were great. The rooms were nicely decorated, comfortable and very clean. The rooms as well as the hotel were well-designed and well-appointed. But we found large black ants in my bathroom. So... More

Grumpy smelly old man at the front desk was very unhelpful. The hotel was recommended as gay friendly but it was hardly friendly. Location was great though. More

Air Conditioning was marginal first night, got back late on second day and was not working, staff moved us to a room that they said was working. Moved into room, assured that it was working just would... More

Great location near a metro, walking distance to restaurants etc. Nice clean rooms, with up to four beds. Very helpful and kindly staff! Only minus was the breakfast, very simple We would recommend the hotel to buy a toaster to improve......But still would highly recommend this hotel!. More

The hotel it’s 2 minutes walk from the metro station “Metaxourghio”, for easy travelling. The best part about the service were the staff who helped to plan my sightseeing route and who highlighted items on my map, gave... More

Acceptable rooms in good condition.Lacklustre breakfast. Location is good for public transport, but not very safe feeling. Main drawback is seemingly unfriendly management making you feel like you are a bother. Staff were much more pleasant and helpful. More
