Amazing Restaurant Views

“Dining at the GB Roof Garden was an lovely experience. The view of the Acropolis was simply amazing, especially during sunset. Each meal was a delight, with a variety of delicious options available. I particularly loved the very nice breakfast spread, full of fresh juice, pastries, and local delicacies. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing dining experience, making it one of the highlights of my stay.” view full review

Luxurious Bathroom Experience

“The bathroom in my Classic King Room was truly excellent. It was spacious, with both a shower and a separate bathtub with ample space for relaxation. I enjoyed how the elegant design, with marble finishes, elevated the overall visual appeal. Even though I had some trouble controlling the shower temperature, it didn't take away from how luxurious the bathroom felt. It was a perfect space to unwind after my days of exploring.” view full review

Rooftop Pool Relaxation

“I absolutely adored the rooftop pool. It offered fine views of the city and was a perfect spot to relax after a busy day. Although there were limited sun loungers, I managed to find a cozy spot to enjoy the sunshine and the fantastic scenery. The pool bar served refreshing drinks, made my time there even better. It truly reminded me of a slice of paradise overlooking the beautiful cityscape.” view full review

Comfortable Yet Elegant Room

“My room had a lovely courtyard view that ensured a peaceful atmosphere throughout my stay. While it was on the smaller side, it was very well-appointed and cozy, allowing me to feel right at home. I appreciated the thoughtful amenities, including a nespresso machine and complimentary water each day. The atmosphere was calming, and the décor added an air of elegance, made my time spent there truly enjoyable.” view full review
