9.2/10 Wonderful! (212 reviews)

Room was great! Staff were extremely helpful and willing to sit down with us and give us a list of things to do, how to get around, and what areas to avoid. The breakfast was great, and the rooftop restaurant was delicious– a little pricey, but for a beautiful view and yummy food it was worth it.

Amazing friendly staff. Close to amenities and Acropolis is only a short walk away. Very noisy due to location on main street. Breakfast was great too at location next door. No view of Acropolis from hotel though as shown in pics. Some construction in area.

The location is absolutely beautiful, the food delicious and the staff were amazing and helpful. They even packed us takeaway breakfasts when we had early morning excursions. Not to mention the stunning beach and the wonderful view of the Temple of Poseidon. We visited at the end of the September and the water was still so warm. Such a hidden gem. We didn't want to leave.
