The location is in the heart of Athens and view from the roof terrace is incredible. The rooms are compact, and staff were friendly. The cook who makes the eggs to order for 8 euro breakfast was very good. Note for those who may have mobility issues, there are a half dozen stairs to get to the elevator.
Location is perfect. Having a wonderful view of the Parthenon for rooftop breakfast was great and the women who prepares the breakfast buffet is wonderful. All the staff is friendly and helpful would recommend and hopes will visit again
Breakfast was great. Simple yet delicious. Omelettes were well done. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Rooftop is great.
Showers are small and towel hangers were falling off. Front entrance is hard to see as it is just a door with barely visible signage. Overall it was clean.
Best part is location. Very central & close to everything; restaurants, museums, sites, bars, shopping, etc.
The staff was helpful. Took our luggage up the steps to the elevator. The hotel is located between Syntagma and Monastiraki metro stations so very convenient to get to the airport and the port.
Also right in the middle of town so easy to get back with you need a break while sightseeing. However being on the main road, it is very noisy late into the night. Also it is a small hotel so noisy if people are checking in late at night.
Breakfast was decent for the price. There are a few narrow steps to the rooftop and to the elevator so keep that in mind if this is a problem for you.
It is a good budget hotel for the price and location.
The hotel is located in the middle of Plaka. You are close to everything. The view from the terrace is breathtaking. We would have breakfast there for 8 euros per person. Not bad at all. It may not be a fancy hotel but it’s definitely the best if you are having a short stay and are in a budget.
They were very accommodating to let us check in early after our cruise. They also held our luggage for us while we waited to check in. This is very close to a ton of restaurants and walking distance to the Acropolis. The room was good with two beds roomy enough for four with a balcony. The downside is Athens is busy like NYC and the room faced the street with lots of cars, people, and a church with the clock bells going off every half hour. If you prefer quiet this might be a challenge. We used ear plugs and had the AC running (which worked great). The front desk helped us order a taxi which is critical for planning in Athens. All of the food nearby was excellent. Lots of upscale shopping as well. Overall the hotel was a good choice. It is about 45 minutes to the airport and could take longer with all of the traffic.

This is a basic hotel. Tiny elevator. Tiny rooms. Small narrow bathroom. But great location. Good price. Serviceable inexpensive hotel in the heart of all the action.
We stayed for 2 nights and it was a great place to stay. The staff were really nice and the room was very clean and had what we needed. We chose a room with a view and loved it! We could sit in the balcony and watch the city moment with a beautiful view of the Partenon. We loved the location, as we could visit the main attractions by foot, besides being near to restaurants, souvenir stores and even a supermarket. There was no breakfast though during winter, but there are plenty of coffee shops around. We totally recommend it.
Amazing place, great location and awesome views. Rooms are very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Clean bright room. Tiny balcony with uncomfortable chair. Tiny bathroom. Lots of stairs to room or an ancient lift that worked ok. Staff friendly. Kettle provided on request. Good standard for 2 star hotel. Good value for city centre. Very noisy though. Hard to sleep. Street noise and cathedral bells ringing every 30 mins. Black out curtains too small so room is light all night from street lights etc. Would recommend if noise at night is not an issue for you.
Although the room was clean, the decor and furnishing were quite outdated. There was no kettle in the room and the hairdryer didn’t work properly. But the location was amazing and the staff were really nice.
