Each room provides high ceilings, a Nespresso machine with complimentary capsules, and a minibar with drinks and snacks available for purchase. Premium toiletries, memory foam pillows, and a professional hairdryer are included in all accommodations.
Dining & Breakfast
Breakfast is served at Yphes, the restaurant located directly below the hotel, offering an à la carte menu with two dishes per guest plus coffee or fresh juice. Yphes serves modern Greek cuisine paired with a large wine list, and guests receive a welcome drink at a nearby restaurant upon arrival. The restaurant also provides kids' meals and a snack bar for lighter options.

The hotel is one street away from Ermou Street pedestrian zone, offering quiet rooms while keeping shops and restaurants steps away.
