decent stay with minor setbacks

great location helpful staff rooftop rest area small bathroom street noise missing lift
The location was superb. it placed me just a stone's throw from the metro station and the bustling plaka district. the rooftop rest area offered a good view of the acropolis. It was a romantic treat at night. the staff were nice. They gave good recommendations.
The room lacked a lift. This proved challenging with luggage. i found the bathroom rather small, and it was difficult to move around. street noise was noticeable. Light sleepers may find this difficult.

mixed experience at the hotel

small room street noise
the location was convenient to the main attractions.
the room was quite small, barely enough space to move around. there was also a strange smell in the bathroom and the noise from the street made it difficult to sleep and i think the walls was very thin because i heard other guests talking.

decent location, some issues

small bathroom street noise
the staff were friendly and the location was central.
The room felt quite tired and in need of some updates. The bathroom was especially small making it hard to use the toilet comfortably. street noise was also a problem, the windows did little to block it out. I woke up several times.
