This is a great little hotel with a lot of style, and the only (very slight) downside is its location. The lobby, restaurant and rooms have a very new, trendy feel. The check-in staff were excellent, willing to take time to go through a map of Athens, explain everything the city has to offer and suggest the best ways to fill our time. The room (including bathroom) was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing - a few great Greek dishes to go along with the standard European continental breakfast fare.
As far as the location goes - the hotel is three metro stops away (or about a 45 minute walk) from major attractions, so it isn't too far away but not as central as some travellers might like. The nearest metro station is Victoria on Line 1. Some reviews suggest the hotel is located in a dangerous neighbourhood but honestly we didn't notice any problems - no questionable people around outside even after dark etc.
Overall this hotel is highly recommended - I would definitely consider this hotel for any future trips to Athens! I think it deserves more than the 3 stars it is rated on most booking sites.
