I usually research my hotels before booking them and I wish I took the time to further research this hotel. The hotel is in a way too busy part of the city, right by Omonia Square filled with homeless people, drug addicts, and people with too much time on their hands overall. We had no balcony and our room was a closet. It barely fit our luggage and our view was that of a brick wall. For what we paid, I was outraged and I am thinking about complaining as the hotel is no where near a 5 star. Grossly over-priced, in a nasty (don't fall for the often posted "trendy" you may find on websites) part of town, and I would never stay here again. In fact, you couldn't pay me to stay here again. The only positive thing I have to say is the hotel staff was quite helpful and there is a Gregory's around the corner where one could get a decent coffee and pie. That's it. Save your money---go elsewhere when looking for accomodations in Athens.

What I can I say we had a very small room with no balcony, we were on the first floor and overlooked Omonia Square which is where all the drug addicts come for there fix. We were kept up all night by the noise from the square. The main areas of the hotel are nice but the small very average rooms and poor area make this hotel an unpleasant place to stay. I would give it 2 stars.You can do a lot better than this hotel for the same price. The walk to Plaka is about 25 minutes and that is a much nicer area but very touristy.

We were told about this hotel by our travel agent and were told it was a lovely 5 star hotel. We got there quite late and the check in was smooth, taken upto the room and were very disappointed. The rooms are no way 5 star, not to say that they are terrible, just average. The lighting in the room was really dull making the room seem even more gloomy, the interior was definately not 'hip and modern' as suggested.

The next morning we went down for breakfast to find almost nothing for vegetarians! The breakfast menu stayed the same the whole 5 days we were there, no variety at all! The breakfast staff was very rude and not welcomming at all.

The air conditioning would give off a funny smell every morning, not pleasant at all, when we contacted the reception desk to complain about the smell we were told it was quite normal and not to worry.

Overall the hotel was ok, i wouldn't stay there agian. Average hotel.

Not a 5 stars for sure. Me and my friends had booked a double and a single and ended up being told upon arrival that only a triple was available for the first night due to an alleged leak in the hotel. Actually there was an invasion of teens with a class trip for the night and as they probably did not have enough rooms wanted to free some space.

Anyway, as we were pretty tired and did not feel like arguing at the moment we said ok but the so-called triple was actually a double featuring a tinny campaign third bed. Went back to the reception and asked for the single that we finally got. But the surprises did not end here.

The bathroom door in the double was literally transparent, which I did not find amusing. Then the door to the balcony did not open and when we called at the reception we've been told that only hotel staff could open/close it for security reasons of some sort. I did not see the logic since the balcony was anyway common to all rooms and in cases like this the doors should only be opened from the inside.

Omonia Square as a location is terrible too, with lots of homeless/drug staff around and quite noisy during the night.

The room was however clean (although definitely not 5 stars design and furniture) and breakfast decent. The view from our room (last floor I think) was nice.

There are a lot of 5 stars hotels in Athens, so you'd better choose carefully and ask for recommendations before booking.
