    Good location but failed on the food front.

    The breakfast wasn't brilliant. When we went to the buffet most of the food was gone so we had to wait. When it arrived the eggs were still raw and inedible. The coffee was very strong and bitter. We went for the weekend and wanted to sample the rooftop restaurant on Saturday evening but it was closed for a venue so all the residents had to leave the hotel if they wanted to eat.

    Staff incompetent. Asked for early check in, never received a response. (2 months prior) Arrived at 6:30am from airport, to store luggage. Told to return just after noon for our room. To then be told the room will be ready at 3pm. Understand the standard check in is 3pm, but the staff should know this too. Providing us false information and inconvenience.

    Ideal location, easy access to Acropolis.

    The airconditioner is very week, especially if it is more than +30 and live in the 6th floor. No iron in the room, you have to call for it and be in line to get it. The staff members during breakfast are tired, a bit rude and never happy.

    The hotel is in the very center with very nice views over Acropolis, when you eat breakfast on the rooftop. It also has very nice pool and sunbeds. The staff including maids speak English. The rooms are very nice, but old and historic furniture. The bathrooms are basic, but have all toiletries.

    The reception staff are rude and unhelpful - with the exception of the concierge staff. The rooms need updating are incredibly hot and poor air conditioning considering per room is over 200 euros very poor value.

    Room a bit torn and no charging socket next to the bed. The drainage system probably need to improve as its quite noisy when someone using bathroom or toilet upstairs. Its keep hearing `boom' sound especially at night time when people return or early morning.

    Location is excellent. Very close to Acropolis, Plaka and tube station.

    Rooftop restaurant not being open for drinks and snacks. Unhelpful staff - I asked about using the pool, if they supplied towels specific to the pool area, I had already showered and did I need to again - they kinda sneered and didn't answer.

    Excellent buffet choice for breakfast. Booked a triple room and had a separate single bedroom in the room ! Awesome views of the Acroplis and the Temple of Zeus from the rooftop breakfast room. Efficient front of house staff on check in.

    The glass shower screen has an inch gap underneath it so the water leaks out and into the carpet straight under the entry door to the bathroom. There was a constant wet patch and discolouration on the carpet from water damage. The automatic blinds didn’t work ( we discovered this when we returned to the room at midnight but didnt make a fuss as we had to get up early anyway) only one power point worked in the room. No powerpoints apart from the shaver in the bathroom and old outdated hairdryer . No tea/ coffe facilities in room. The star rating for this hotel needs to be adjusted , we stayed in lower star places which were so much better. It was only for a night before leaving so glad it wasn’t for much longer. Staff at reception could be a little friendlier too.

    The executive room was large with a good size bathroom. Great views from the rooftop bar and nice breakfast. Nice pool area.

    The elevator was really small and slow.

    Really good location! Short walk to Acroplis, Plaka ao. Style is maybe a little outdated, but the restaurant on the roofterrace is a must-visit! Our room had a bedroom with one bed and a doublebed in main room. Good size, nice and clean - and with a balcony. The hotel has a parking garage which was perfect for us and our rental car.

    Locations and views of acropolis.

    The location was exceptional and rooftop restaurant had stunning views of the Acropolis. Breakfast was included in our room and was one of the best buffets. The facility is a bit old school, there are no usb charging stations or coffee in room. But the location makes up for that!

    Several amenities lacking in the deluxe room. No mirror in the bedroom only in the bathroom. No full length mirror. Very poor lighting in bedroom and bathroom. Had to use our head torch on occasions at night to be able to read. No kettle or cups and ingredients to make an early morning tea or coffee as was standard in thefour star hotels we had stayed in throughout Greece. No iron or ironing board as in other hotels. No storage drawers in the bedside take just a small shelf. Hotel relying on great position rather than what a traveller actually needs for a comfortable stay.

    Position. Having breakfast on the top floor terrace overlooking the Acropolis.
