Room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My luggage was delayed by two days and the hotel receptionists were very helpful in finding places where I could get what I needed in the interim. They also had excellent tips and tricks to offer for my planned outings. I will definitely stay there again on my next trip to Athens.
