“The location was perfect.”

8Verified guest

“A charming, old-fashioned yet spotless hotel with a well-run team. The food was good and the service truly excellent. The location is unbeatable—near the Acropolis, the National Garden, and Syntagma Square. The ancient citadel was easy to reach.”

8Verified guest

“Our room was lovely and comfortable, the pool and lounging areas were gorgeous, and the location for seeing the Acropolis and the new museum was ideal. The rooftop bar and restaurant are incredible—the view is arguably the best in Athens. Go to the Acropolis late in the day to avoid crowds and enjoy sunset light—you won't be disappointed.”

8Verified guest

“Newly decorated rooms with en-suite bathrooms, an unforgettable view over Athens, a balcony, and a direct view of the Acropolis. No complaints at all.”
