Easy choice: A great location in Placka district, minutes walk to shopping/sites. 25 Euro taxi from pier/55 Euro (double night fare) to airport. Couldn't be more happy with location/staff. Restaurants and mini-marts within blocks. 6th floor room we had, sorta had a view of Acropolis, as with the balcony door open, we couldn't actually see the Acropolis but had the view reflected in the wall mirror (truly a room with a view on the budget!). Downside on the room was the A/C control only blew fan air (I'm betting the hotel turns off the A/C in so-called winter which was in the 70s during our stay) but balcony door opens for fresh air, although street noise is a slight din until about 2:00 am when things calm down. Typical up-scale European bathroom with a half-door shower which allows water onto floor, which is annoying, and for some reason, we had to keep asking for wash-cloths which were never routinely put out with our fresh towels: minor complaints for sure, considering the otherwise very nice room. Upstairs restaurant was pleasant but not memorable food, although the downstairs dining had a very tasteful menu at reasonable price (one of the best club sandwiches ever!). In short, why would you want to stay anywhere else, what with this great location, friendly helpful staff, in a upscale hotel at about $200 a night.
