I ordered breakfast and it was delivered to my room so I enjoyed it on my balcony. The rooftop is beautiful and has an amazing view. I would definitely stay here again.

I've never stayed in such a unique hotel. On one hand, it's not luxurious but very clean, and on the other hand, I felt like a king thanks to their special service. They serve a variety of special coffees for free! There's even excellent local beer, also complimentary with no limits. There's a magic about the place that I can't quite explain. I will definitely return; it's worth every £.

Don’t normally leave reviews but felt it was necessary this time. The photos advertising this “hotel” are extremely misleading. The lobby is cute, the staff is great and the rooftop is nice, however, the rooms are like a youth hostel. These are not beds, they are cots. Under the beds was a lot of dust and dirt. The bathroom was tiny and the shower curtain and tiles were stained and moldy. I could see staying here in my 20s but not as an adult however in my 20s I wouldn’t be paying that price per night for a youth hostel like vibe. We ended up leaving and getting a different hotel for the second night. All this plus a later discovered poop stain on the sheet. Found a super nice hotel with a rooftop bar and view of the acropolis for less a night. The point of this review is to let potential travelers know that this is much more a youth hostel vibe, not a hotel vibe. And that’s not how we viewed their website.

I usually do not write reviews for anything but, this was a great property that I ended up at because a previously booked hotel did not have my reservation. It is in an area that is about no more than a 30 minute walk from most tourist attractions and the staff is so amazingly kind.

Nice hotel in Athens. Was initially tricky to find as it does not pop up when you google the name, and theres another hotel in Athens with a very similar name. Quite confusing. Free water bottles/juice along with nespresso coffee was real nice. Air conditioning worked well. Shower was not as nice as I was hoping for (small, awkward shower head placement for the space, poor water pressure) but overall got the job done. Staff is super kind and helpful/responsive on whatsapp. I would return to this place in Athens for a place to.sleep.

Hotel wasn’t as shown in pictures. The bathrooms wall and door has paint falling off at the bottom. The shower was incredibly tiny and the shower curtain was very uncomfortable to shower with. I could barely move. The room was clean but I definitely expected more from this hotel. It just seemed like a clean grandmas home that was deteriorated. I would recommend relishing these rooms because as a guest even if it’s 1 night stay of 10 days stay, no matter where you are, you want to feel comfortable and don’t want to have any unexpected surprises. The room was clean and staff was friendly, however the condition of the room caught my family and I by surprise. There was also a lot of noise throughout the night. This hotel is right in the center of the city, but seems like the walls were soundproof which is understandable. I just mention this incase some guests appreciate a comfortable and silent sleep.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to be honest here because I rely heavily on accurate reviews when booking hotels—and this one did not live up to what was advertised. First, the bed was incredibly uncomfortable. It honestly felt like sleeping on a cot rather than a proper mattress, which made it very difficult to get any real rest. The bathroom was another major issue. It was extremely small, and the shower was so cramped that you couldn’t move without constantly bumping into the knobs and accidentally turning the water off. It made something as simple as showering frustrating. Several advertised amenities were also missing. There was no TV or hairdryer, despite both being listed online. Additionally, the “airport shuttle” was misleading—it was just a taxi, not a hotel-provided service as implied. The elevator was also shockingly small. It was so tight that my husband and I couldn’t fit together with our luggage—we had to go separately, which was inconvenient and frustrating. The surrounding neighborhood also did not feel safe or welcoming. There was a noticeable amount of graffiti and a visible homeless presence, which gave the area a run-down, uncomfortable vibe. Overall, I find it very hard to believe that the current reviews accurately reflect the reality of this hotel. Based on my experience, I would not stay here again and would not recommend it to others.

Estive por 5 noites no The Square e indico o estabelecimento sem pestanejar; a localização é boa, numa rua próxima a estação de metrô de Omonia, que fica a 7min a pé do hotel e é uma linha que conecta rapidamente às atrações principais da cidade. Próximo ao hotel, tem diversos restaurantes, lanchonetes e cafeterias, além de comércio com tudo que você precisa. O café da manhã é composto por 3 menus fixos, que são entregues no próprio quarto e chegam rapidamente. Fiquei num quarto no último andar, com bom espaço, cama confortável e frigobar, além de uma sacada com vista privilegiada para o Monte Lycabettus - o único "porém" do quarto é que o espaço para banho não é dos maiores. Por falar em vista, o destaque do estabelecimento é o rooftop, que tem banheiras jacuzzi e várias mesinhas e pontos de relaxamento (ótima música ambiente), onde você pode ficar o dia inteiro, com destaque para o fim do dia, com bela vista do pôr-do-sol e onde você pode levar bebida e comida para curtir. Outro grande destaque do hotel é o time de recepcionistas, todas muito prestativas e sempre prontas para passar informações e ajudar o hóspede. Excelente opção para Atenas.
