“The location is undeniably a draw, placing guests within easy reach of the Acropolis Museum and other key sites. Rooms, though compact, are clean and contemporary, with some offering coveted Acropolis views from spacious balconies. I particularly appreciated the complimentary breakfast and the rooftop terrace-a perfect spot to unwind and take in the illuminated Parthenon.”
