They promote a roof top bar to view the Acropolis. However, it was not available the first 2 nights out of our 3 night stay. It was booked out, by whom who knows, not by us paying to stay, very dissapointing

Having dinner outside in the roof top restaurant with a stunning view of the Acropolis was brilliant.

There was nothing to criticise at all.

Everything perfect. Very central....two minutes from Monastiraki metro station. Top breakfast....just a suggestion. Could add a coffee machine with pods in the breakfast room. At least the Italians drink some decent coffee. Their espresso was undrinkable....said by a Neapolitan like me. The bar terrace on the top floor is a gem...with a breathtaking view of the ACROPOLIS

Just a few girls at the reception... Quite grumpy. The bathroom was very small... but all in all nothing serious
