“What stands out about this Athens hotel is its staff, who create a warm and helpful environment. While slightly removed from the center, the location is convenient because of immediate access to the metro.

I encountered issues that affected my stay. The bath towels were old and not replaced daily. Some lights did not work. The breakfast options were too limited for vegetarians and folks with food allergies.

The room cleanliness was below standard. There was considerable dust present. Breakfast options lacked variety for vegetarians. The food temperature was not well maintained. Items were often cold even early in the morning. I believe this hotel needs improvements to justify its rating.

Fantastic Hotel with Great Breakfast

spacious room rooftop bar good ac

My room was spacious and very clean. I enjoyed the rooftop bar with the pool area. All the staff was nice. I appreciated the luxury of reliable water and good AC. I accessed the facilities of Wyndham Grand too.

The limited options for vegetarians at breakfast disappointed me. There were no labels indicating ingredients for each dish. Some breakfast items, like the eggs, were cold, even when I arrived early.

The breakfast was on the rooftop and had great options. I saw many dishes. It included both local and European food. People with dietary restrictions could also find something suitable, like halal food options.
