small room stale pastries

My "Portrait Double Room" was surprisingly small. There was also a noticeable musty smell (maybe from the old building, I don't know). Breakfast had a limited selection. The pastries seemed stale. I had hoped for a bit more for the price I paid.

Central and Convenient

convenient location tasteful decor friendly staff helpful team

The hotel's location was very convenient. I found it easy to walk to the Pantheon and the Acropolis Museum. The proximity to the subway was also useful. The decor was tasteful and created a cute atmosphere! The staff were friendly and always willing to help, which I found invaluable.

The elevator was quite small. It was a bit of a squeeze with luggage.

Dining

The breakfast included a variety of options, with fresh scrambled eggs and salad readily available to order. The terrace area provided a relaxing atmosphere. I especially liked that I could get a breakfast box when I had an early start.

The hotel offers 24-hour reception. I felt safe with this service. A coffee machine was in the room, along with a small refrigerator. I also liked that I was provided with a sandwich, banana, juice, and water when leaving early.

The location was advantageous, close to main points of interest. The team was available and ready to provide support.

The carpet on the stairs had some stains. Bath towels were small and thin. Street noise was audible at night since the windows were not double glazed. Ear plugs were provided.

It's a short walk to both the restaurant area and a café district. It's easily accessible. public transport to the port and airport is straightforward. lots of food options exist within a ten-minute walk from the premises. A very handy spot indeed!

The staff was polite and helpful. (It is good to see people who are willing to assist.)

The room I occupied lacked a window facing the exterior. Consequently, natural light was absent, and ventilation was poor.
