awesome stay!

superb locationclean accommodationfriendly staffsimple breakfast
The location is superb. i loved that i could easily walk to the city center and many major attractions (what a treat!). i found the accommodation simple and clean, perfect for my short stay. the staff were very friendly too, even storing my luggage before and after check-in and check-out which really helped. breakfast was simple but good. It got me ready for the day.
the hotel is a genuine 2-star, so some aspects reflect that. the room was mostly small. i noticed air circulation wasn't the greatest.

Central Location Delight

central locationhelpful staffacropolis viewgreat price
The location worked great. I found several places close to the hotel to eat. The staff looked helpful. Our room allowed me to see the Acropolis. I thought that the price was great for a central location.
The shared fridge on each floor were very full and iced up. nobody cleaned it.

The hotel offers a rooftop terrace. The terrace had an excellent view of the Parthenon, so do not forget to explore it. This is a great bonus. I think it is worth it.
