Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had some drawbacks with dark, cramped rooms and a dated bathroom, but the location was fantastic for exploring Ancient Athens. Service was lacking in friendliness and professionalism. Dining was a mixed experience with limited options but a stunning Acropolis view.
The hotel offers stunning views of the Acropolis and Temple of Zeus from the rooms but falls short in the room decor compared to the elegant lobby. The service is professional but lacks a personal touch. The location is excellent for exploring attractions, though some minor room details could be improved. The dining experience, while with a spectacular view, may not offer enough variety, and the facilities are satisfactory but could use some updates.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were disappointing with only one usable plug socket and a broken bath in a smoking area, but they were spacious like the hotel lobby. The service was a bit inconsistent; while some staff members like Sofia were friendly and helpful, others were rude, which made me doubt if it's a cultural issue. The location was very convenient, close to the Acropolis, offering stunning views but just outside the main tourist area of Plaka. The dining experience was poor with cold food and beverages, but the organic Quebec cheeses were a saving grace.
The hotel has a great location close to the Acropolis with good rooms but slightly oldish. Despite the lack of windows in some rooms, the proximity to the Acropolis makes up for it. The complaints among staff members were noticeable, and queues to get the room were inconvenient, but the hotel services were decent. The rooftop restaurant with a view of Zeus' temple is a must-visit. The dining options are delicious, let down only by an early closing time. Overall, the hotel offers a convenient location but lacks some modern facilities.
My stay at the hotel was an unforgettable experience with some incredible highlights but also a few areas of improvement. The rooms were spectacular in every category, including a view of Hadrian's Gate that left me speechless. While spacious, extremely clean, and boasting excellent bathrooms, a touch of renovation would take them to the next level.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although a bit outdated, especially the bathroom. The service provided was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist. The location was fantastic, within walking distance to key attractions. The dining experience was enjoyable, but a bit repetitive. The facilities were adequate but could use some updating.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious and luxurious with a view of the Zeus Ruin across the street, but the window into the light well took away some of the room's charm. The service was top-notch, especially thanks to Harry who was incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel's location next to the Acropolis was unbeatable, perfect for sightseeing. However, the breakfast rush and waiting time for the terrace took away some of the joy. Dining was nice overall, but the limited breakfast options were a downside. Despite some minor flaws, the facilities were great, providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
The hotel is conveniently located near major attractions, but room views and darkness were disappointing. The rooms were clean and spacious, but not extraordinary. Service was a mix of unhelpful and helpful. The location was great for sightseeing and dining options, with a terrace view of historical sites. The dining experience offered a lovely view and a good variety of breakfast options.
The hotel offers a large and clean room, well-equipped but very dark with no sockets near the bed. The service was efficient and accommodating in fulfilling our requests. The location is excellent, just across from the temple of Zeus and a short walk to the metro. The dining experience was good, with a variety of cold and hot food options available. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious, however, not well equipped for business travelers and faced a noisy avenue. The hotel is in need of a renovation to match its top-tier aim.
The hotel was plain but very comfortable, not matching the 5-star standard. The room had a smidgen of a view of the pool, which was a plus. The service was friendly, although not top-notch. The location was excellent, close to attractions but with some issues in the surrounding area. The dining experience was subpar, with gaps in the menu. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement.
