This is a great hotel and this is the 4th time we have stayed here. We had a quad room overlooking the Acropolis. This is a basic, neat and clean hotel which you can get at a very good price. Location is great, very close to the Acropolis. To get to the hotel catch the metro from the airport, change trains at Syntagma and take the red line to Acropoli station. The hotel is 5 minutes walk from here.
The hotel offers a good breakfast, cerial, toast, greek cakes, ham, cheese, boiled eggs, fruit. Enough to give you a good start to the day.
The hotel rooms are a bit tight, but still comfortable, try get a room with a balcony overlooking the Parthenon.
The hotel is in a great location for sightseeing, buy yourself a metro day pass for 4 euro, this also lets you travel on buses. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but its sister restaurant, Herodian does.
If in athens on a Sunday, all archeological sites are free entry, if you cant get there on a Sunday, pay 12 Euros and this gets you into most of the sites including: the Acropolis, Roman Agora, Temple of Zeus and more - great value when you consider in London to visit St Pauls Cathederal cost you 14 pounds.
We will stay here again next time in Athens.
