The location is awesome. Walking distance to anywhere like sightseeing spots, shopping area. So many restaurants around the apartment. The bathroom cleanness is OK because it is old building.
This property was very clean and spacious. It was quiet. It is very close to Syntagma Square and perfect if you need to catch an early bus to the airport. It is close to great dining, museums, and other attractions.
Great little hotel room close to the action in Athens. The room needs some cleaning. Very dirty bathroom doors and some minor damages to the walls but otherwise nice.
I had a wonderful stay here. The room had everything I needed and more. Everything was clean and in working order. Although it was self check-in, it was extremely quick and easy thanks to the detailed instructions they set prior to my arrival.
friendly staff, short walk from syntagma square and right next to plaka district. walking distance to attractions and tour meeting points.

room was good considering the cheap price and the location is very central. there was air conditioning and clean towels and sheets. would recommend for people who need to stay shortly in a cenrtral location for a cheap price. the appartment´s windows dont get any sun since they face walls so you need to have lights on at all times. also its a bit noisy at night for a light sleeper.
Great stay for being close to city center, shops and restaurants. The staff were very helpful with transportation from airport to the hotel and making sure we had everything we needed once we were there.
This hotel was conveniently located for the night I stayed in Athens but the room was kind of run down and dirty. Didn’t really look like the photos online. It’s fine for a quick stay but I would not stay for multiple days.
Great overall. Perfect location. Clean amd comfortable. Only complaint is we only got one set of keys and we needed an exterior key in addition to our room key. Also, our room only locked with the key on the inside.

Location is good. Close to sygtagma metro. Unfortunately there was a dead cockroach in the room.
Clean, quiet, convenient walk to restaurants and the Plaka! The staff were very helpful and we were able to store our luggage in the office before we went to the airport.
Location was amazing! So close to shops and fantastic food and the acropolis. So ideal for walking. AC worked great and rooms were huge and very clean. We needed to store luggage for a few hours before boarding our cruise ship and they worked it out even though their office wasn’t open yet. Thanks for making sure everything worked out so well!
