It was beautiful from the moment we walked in; our room was exquisitely appointed and very new. The people at the front desk couldn’t have been nicer. They went out of their way to help us. The free breakfast was truly a gourmet experience.

Amazing location, clean room, great a/c, great shower. Breakfast is incredible! It starts at 8:00 a.m. and if you need to be out before then they will pack you a box to go. The breakfast goes until 11:00 a.m. which is nice. Elevator. View from my room was of the street.

Room was updated but quite small with toilet/sink stall and separate shower stall. Both bathroom and shower felt like they were in the middle of the room. There was limited space to hang clothing and no real closet. There was construction going on next door which was loud during the day. Location was great in terms being close to Acropolis and shopping. The breakfast was excellent! Staff were also helpful and friendly.
