“I noted the hotel's stylish public spaces and excellent breakfast, and the location certainly puts you within easy reach of central Athens; for families, the themed rooms are an interesting touch. However, some aspects of the accommodations might feel a bit dated. Overall, it seems a solid choice with some quirks.”

i loved the breakfast (the fresh pastries were delicious). the staff were helpful and ensured i had a pleasant stay. i would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting. the hotel has a very good location for accessing many attractions.

The area near the hotel felt a little unsafe. Omonia square is not the most cute at night. i felt a bit uneasy walking alone after dark. perhaps better lighting or more security could improve this aspect.
