excellent stay close to acropolis

ideal location helpful staff accommodating attitude commendable service

the location proved ideal, only a short walk to the acropolis and the acropolis museum. the staff was helpful, even allowing us to park briefly outside after a late arrival. i also appreciated their accommodating attitude toward a slightly later checkout and luggage storage on our departure day. the customer service was commendable.

The room furnishings seemed a little old. They would benefit from some modernisation to enhance the overall appeal.
