location good, but some issues

great locationsmall roomunstable shower temperature
the location was great for seeing the sites. it was convenient.
The room i had was quite small (smaller than expected, really) and made moving around with luggage difficult. also, the shower temperature was unstable. It kept switching to very hot water without warning. this was quite concerning in such a small space.

a perfect location!

central locationfriendly staffeasy accessfunctional ensuite
the hotel is centrally located near tourist spots I saw the acropolis from the terrace I walked to its southern entrance in less than ten minutes. the staff was friendly someone was always at the front desk it was easy to get help when needed. the syntagma metro station is a short walk away it offers direct access to the airport I found many cafes and restaurants nearby. the room was clean the ensuite was functional.
the shower pressure could have been better I experienced fluctuations in water temperature it was a minor issue that i reported to reception. the shower stall was small. it made moving around a bit difficult.
