From the moment we entered, we were pampered by the staff. They were helpful, efficient, and friendly. Greeted with a glass of refreshing punch and apple tarts was a nice touch! Our room was immaculate and furnished with a full array of useful items. Breakfast was not the typical buffet, rather we were able to order from the lovely menu. I gone this hotel my highest recommendation.

The concierge service was top notch. They were always very attentive to our needs, offered to order us a taxi anytime we were going out of the immediate area, , provided several tips and tourist sites to see, and marked a map to make it easy. They even brought me an espresso to my room because I couldn’t get mine to work (until I figured it out!). Anna was our server at the rooftop restaurant and was fantastic, warm, funny, hospitable. Breakfast was AMAZING and of course everything fresh and plentiful. We would stay there again with no question. It’s in the middle of anything you want to do and the Metro is very close if you choose.

AthensWas was a great little find. The room was comfortable with a small balcony overlooking a quaint garden. The location and walkability to attractions and restaurants was a pleasant surprise. But the highlight is obviously the rooftop with amazing restaurant and views of the Acropolis. 10/10, would recommend and re-book.

Staff was amazing. When we arrived after long trip late in evening a refreshing drink & snack immediately provided. Included breakfasts were delicious from a varied menu and the view to the acropolis from the upper dining area was beautiful. We want to especially thank the front desk staff that went above & beyond when we found out that our Sea Jet schedule was changed over night to 2 hours earlier that morning. The staff had a taxi at the hotel within minutes and we got to the ferry just in time to board. Would definitely recommend this hotel as also so close to subway and within walking to the acropolis and shopping.
