Fair
The staff and service were efficient, timely and friendly.
The hotel and facilities are very outdated and inefficient. The stated room views of the Acropolis was misleading.

A lovely and elegant independent hotel. The room was clean and comfy, the decor beautiful. The breakfast is on the roof overlooking the whole of the plaka. Only thing to note is that the whole place is a bit retro, but that was part of the charm.

It had a beautiful view especially at night
The one elevator going up to the breakfast area is a joke. They refused to tell us a way to take the stairs up when we were perfectly capable of saving the elevator for others who needed it.

Great view at breakfast. Close proximity to bus stops/metro.
Staff constantly just walking in, no knocking. Put sign on door or lock. Last 2 hotels on this trip the snacks in mini fridge were complimentary. Not this hotel and price list was hidden within hotel restaurant menu. Felt a little tricked, but we paid.

The roof top Breakfast was Amazing lots to choose from and has a killer View and most of it was covered so you was not in the direct sun. The pillows are very flat and need replaced there was only 2 on a king bed and it took both of them to make one. The room's are very retro quite Surprising but cool. It was in walking distance to the Acropolis Museum and the Zeus Temple and many shopping and Restaurants. I would stay here again.
The pillow's were very flat almost like you didn't even have one.

Excellent location within walking distance of almost everything, and the breakfast was served in a beautiful dining area.
The hotel has a distinctly outdated feel. The rooms looked quite old and did not feel like a true five-star property. Overall, it was a good stay, mainly due to the location; however, the hotel would greatly benefit from renovation and modernization.

Breakfast, sky-bar
I stayed for two nights, and my flight departed early in the morning before breakfast was served. The hotel offered a breakfast-to-go option, but only for an additional fee(!!). Despite breakfast being included in my stay, they could not even provide a simple cup of coffee before I left for the airport. As one of the two included breakfasts could not be used due to my early departure, I would at least have expected either a small gesture of service or a refund for the unused breakfast, but neither was offered. During my stay last week, however, there was no upgrade and I was given a room with virtually no daylight, an outdated interior, and significant noise disturbance from neighbouring guests throughout the day and night. I travel frequently for work and stay in many hotels, so my expectations are realistic. However, the noise levels and especially the breakfast situation were disappointing and below what I would expect.

Breakfast was excellent. Staff friendly and efficient. Rooftop view AMAZING. Room could do with updating and have housecoats and slippers.
Slippers and housecoats in room, and a bit of updating.

What I liked the most was the excellent location. The hotel was very clean, restaurant view and the staff were friendly and helpful.
In general, the stay was very good, but there were a few downsides. The breakfast was okay, but not very varied and it was the same every day. There was no kettle in the room, and if you needed hot water, you had to call room service. The soap was provided in solid pieces rather than liquid form, which felt a bit outdated. The TV was old, had only two sports channels, and kept turning off by itself. There were also very few power sockets—only three in total (for the TV, lamp, and near the fridge), and none next to the bed.
