The hotel was small, the breakfast was okay but was extremely limited. Really my only complaint was that I got what they considered a “deluxe room” that was supposed to come with a bigger tv and nice shower with multiple shower head settings but when we got there the shower would not change from the basic shower head setting. Other than that pretty cute and quaint hotel

When I arrived at 6 PM, the staff was busy, but I got in within a reasonable amount of time and they checked me in. The room is beautiful, and I love the decor. The bed slept really well and having a high-tech shower was great. Everything was so spacious and well laid out. Free drinks were helpful too and I was able to relax for two glorious, blissful nights. Their breakfast was one of the better ones I’ve had and I’ve never had scrambled eggs so good either. This is definitely a place. I will go back to if I have to stay in Athens again.

Parking is on-site, but some spots are difficult to access due to the hotel's unique architecture with support beams. The showers are amazing, the best in Athens! The hot breakfast is nice. The room was clean, but translucent shades would improve privacy, as the blackout screens block too much light during the day. I also noticed the shampoo wasn't refilled. Overall, I would stay here again if the price is right.
