8Verified guest“Fantastic spot right next to Plaka, close to the Acropolis and the center of Athens. The bells ring often, especially Sunday mornings, but it’s excellent for visiting the Church of Kapnikarea. Rooms are well-maintained.”
8Verified guest“Beautiful views from the balconies and breakfast terrace, plus the bougainvillea covering the front is stunning—it kept the rooms cool, so I never used the air conditioning. The location is ideal for sightseeing, business, and getting to the airport. Staff were always helpful.”
8Verified guest“The room was adequate, but the terrace with the Acropolis view was extraordinary.”
8Verified guest“The location near Plaka was excellent—easy to shop and find my way back. From the 4th floor, the view of the Acropolis and Parthenon surrounded by bougainvillea was spectacular, photos don’t do it justice.”
8Verified guest“Excellent location, a stone's throw from Syntagma Square, very safe and central. Staff were helpful and polite.”
8Verified guest“We booked a standard king room and could use the wake-up service. The bathroom was ultra-modern with a shower, hairdryer, and bath sheets.”
