Cons: - we booked a double room and added "double bed" in our request, but for some reason, it was not communicated to the hotel (too many intermediary agents?) - so we were given twin room. The hotel was full and couldn't change our room. Make sure to email the hotel directly after booking!

Pros: Very comfortable room and staff were super friendly and accommodating of all our requests.

Cons: Conveniently located although the downtown area is starting to look really dilapidated and many buildings are now abandoned so I’d caution against walking anywhere nearby at night. Taxis are readily available though and the hotel offers a free shuttle to the main tourist area.

Pros: Very helpful staff Rooms are spacious and comfy

Cons: Facilities are old and needs refurbishment Location is not the best

Pros: Comfortable hotel with friendly staff

Pros: The politeness of the staff. The spinach or cheese pie offered in the morning buffet, succulent!! The whole ambience of the hotel cosy, private, simple. The laundry service quick and effective.

Cons: The cleaning of the room especially that we spent 6 nights. They should go more into details when cleaning.

Pros: Bed was comfortable. Room was neat and clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Cons: Not much to complain about.

Pros: People at breakfast were very friendly and helpful

Cons: Overpriced for what you get the Hilton down the road was a similar price for the same period and its much better. The staff below the general manager are completely ineffective in dealing with problems and the GM is not around on weekends or after hours. Everything from check in to billing was bad. Room stank despite being non smoking. Breakfast food was "tour group" style - all pre cooked - nothing to order and frequently ran out. The gym was terrible and dirty with no wipes and broken equipment. Wifi was erratic and slow. Smoking in public areas was very annoying

Cons: Not a think

Pros: Their breakfast was good

Cons: The room service was pricey

Pros: staff was very helpful

Cons: room smells like cigarette. air condition smells like cigarette. i had to turn off air C.

Pros: Good American breakfast, good freshly brewed coffee. Clean room, comfy bed, well stocked minibar and a bathroom offering both a bath tub and shower in our unit which was a bonus.

Cons: The location is not ideal for tourists, it is better to stay closer to the Acropolis and Plaka which is within walking distance. The hotel location is perhaps better suited for business stays or economic stays if time will be spent travelling in and out the centre daily to the may sites for tourists.

Pros: The Staff excellent

Cons: Everything is good

Pros: Spacious, comfortable room, big bed; decent number of plug sockets, though only one near bed.

Cons: Booked a non-smoking room, but the whole floor stank of cigarette smoke, and the room had clearly had the smell masked with odour-eaters. There was a constant whiff from outside. Heating was left on high, and the windows did not open fully. Bottle of water was chargeable - although when I complained, it was not charged.

Pros: Very nice accommodation and really friendly staff. Excellent breakfast buffet

Pros: Everything, awesome place

Pros: The rooftop staff attendant was really good.

Cons: Just location is run down and pool hours was too crazy. They could have leave it open 24 hours. Fir sure it is not 5 star

Pros: Not much overall. Most of the staff are surly to say the least.

Cons: Negative attitudes.

Pros: roof top location was exceptional, food was varied and plentiful

Cons: I wanted space out of the bars to rest, play cards. Did not find any.

Pros: View from top was good. Good bed, pillows and sheets. Nice breakfast but busy.

Cons: Some dodgy characters in the streets nearby. Not sure about the location

Pros: Bed was very comfy and the room was quiet. Slept brilliantly!

Pros: Super comfy bed Beautiful view of the Parthenon 24h taxi in front of the hotel Empathic front staff

Cons: Unprofessional and non smiling staff from F&B Food quality is not good Water pression is either too hot or cold Pool area really small, something like 15 sun beds

Pros: The property on the inside was awesome, on the outside... surroundings...I was not impressed.

Cons: 1. We chose this hotel ONLY because the Kayak info said a "hotel shuttle" is available. We wanted to be close to the airport to fly out the next morning. We thought we would save the expense of a taxi to and from the airport. There was no shuttle. When we call the hotel, they told us no such thing as a shuttle. They would only arrange to send me a taxi @ €45.00. And this could only be arranged via email...not over the ph. We simply took a cab to the hotel # €43.00. To the airport the next morning...no shuttle. We took a taxi @ €44.00. If you people do no have a shuttle like we are use to in the US...do not mislead innocent pepole like us. That is false advertising. The availability of a shuttle in the ONLY reason why we picked this hotel. 2. At the front desk I changed out some US$ for € after checking in. We plan to do some last minute shopping before we fly out the next day. What we did not know was that, that very day was a national holiday (the Verging Mary Holiday ) all the stores were closed. On checking out the next morning they would not take back the € currency. I told them that we did not know that there was a holiday. They said they can't take it back. That was just not right. These 2 things has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I am not a happy camper...especially with the shuttle issue. That was flat out wrong. You can't say that there is a shuttle when there is none. People from the US is use to taking a free shuttle ride to and from the airport to hotels and rent a car locstions.

Pros: Rooms very nice, comfortable beds and quiet. Great views from roof terrace.

Cons: Bar staff a bit rude. Drinks and food expensive. Pool crowded and closes early.

Pros: We enjoyed the rooftop terrace. Unwinding looking out a the Acropolis with a nice meal & cocktail was the most enjoyable part of our stay.

Cons: The location was a shock, we stepped out of the taxi and wanted to turn back. The location is dirty and at night feels unsafe to walk around. It felt far away from the tourist area although having the Hop on Hop off Bus across the road was the only bonus. The hotel itself felt dark and heavy. We booked an Acropolis view room & when you look out the window the first view to hit you is the many vacant unkept units and graffiti everywhere. House keeping would come around at inconvenient times; 5pm when you have come back tired to your room to unwind and you have to go elsewhere to wait for them to finish and then 9am when your using the bathroom and they let themselves in. Won't be returning.

Pros: Very good and fast helpuf. All is positive

Pros: Great, central location walking distance from all the main sites. Nice balconies. Delicious meal and drinks and rooftop bar and restaurant with wonderful views of the Acropolis. Large clean room and bathroom. Option to leave luggage.

Cons: Very small (and quite complicated!) lift. No plug points next to the bed.

Pros: The property s just near by the old town market, few mins walking distance to the old port , my friend loves the balcony very much . We do enjoy our stay , highly recommend

Pros: All is great

Pros: Basic room that's comfortable & clean.

Cons: The hotel seems old and the fittings & furniture could do with an upgrade.

Pros: Good location, ok rooms and really helpful staff.

Pros: This hotel is about 10 minutes walk from the Acropolis, so we really liked the location. The hotel itself was fine, no problems. The staff was friendly and helpful, including calling our car rental company. The buffet breakfast was good, fairly reasonably priced at 7 euros. Overall, we found this to be a good, reasonably priced place to stay near the Acropolis.

Cons: The rooms are small but otherwise fine.

Pros: The staff was helpful and ready to help.

Cons: They gave us room 101, the most noisy room in front of the 1st floor stairs and above the front door of the hotel. Is this the genius room they offer to every genius user?

Pros: Location, cleanliness, personnel

Cons: Poor breakfast, hard mattress

Pros: Proximity to plaka & Acropolis & the metro & the tourists bus

Pros: As soon as we arrived we felt very welcome. The beds were extremely comfy. The breakfast had everything you need. It's in a great location short walk to acropolis. The roof top restaurant was out favourite part. The view of the acropolis is incredible. If we stay in Athens again we will return.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The location was perfect, about 10 minute walk to the acropolis. The rooftop restaurant is gorgeous and the food was amazing. The room was good.

Cons: The bed is slightly hard for my liking BUT this should not deter you. It was a wonderful stay.
