Acceptable Hotel Stay

central location decent breakfast old furniture small elevator

The hotel's location is convenient for visiting the main attractions. I could easily reach the Greek Parliament and the Plaka district. The breakfast was decent.

The furniture in the room seemed old. I think the bed needed to be updated as it was not comfortable. The elevator felt small, barely fitting one person with luggage.
