The staff went out of the way to accommodate our child as it was not mentioned on the original reservation. The facility is in excellent location, well maintained and has beautiful view to the acropolis including a dining restaurant at the very top. Rooms can be little bit bigger.

Very helpful staff for first time New Yorker tourist to Athens helped me book taxis to take me for my various tours that had meeting places across the city. Recommended "the best" Souvlaki and Gyros for me though IMHO New York City's are tastier.

Reviewing my experience dealing with the hotel - not my stay. I booked on 14th Dec to stay from the 18th to 23rd. On 15th Dec I received an infectious disease protocol message from the NHS. I was potentially carrying tuberculosis, and could no longer travel out of the UK. I had to report for testing procedures on 18th December. Despite Expedia explaining this to the hotel barely 24hrs after booking, they refused to refund my booking. £500 gone, just like that. That was my experience with them.

Excellent hotel; the staff were fantastic and we really liked the roof terrace for breakfast with the acropolis view. My only dislike was the mattress being too squashy = back pain but that’s a matter of preference. The area was good too, lots of nice little cafes and shops nearby.
