The warm reception with Eviduring the day and Crystal in the evening, was amazing. I learned how to count to 10 in Greek and also how to greet people in Greek. They gave me so much advice about places to visit and even how to get places and check subway (Metro) times.as well! The rooms are nice a spacious and the breakfast was nice and served with a smile! This is a gem with amazing people working here.

Our stay was superior in every way. The front desk staff were all wonderful and is helpful. They really care! The morning breakfast was tasty and they were so pleasant to deal with. The hotel is well cared for and comfortable. We would definitely recommend to anyone travelling who likes a busy area of town with many night options for food and music. The elevator was not horrible to use and reliable even though it is for really one person at a time. Thanks to all the staff for a great vacation stay. Σας ευχαριστούμε για μια υπέροχη διαμονή

The hotel was located near the acropolis. The room was very spacious, it actually was two stories, with a living room and kitchen and refrigerator on the first floor and the bedroom, bathroom, closet and another living area with a couch and coffee table. The floor under the coffee table was made with glass so you could look down into the kitchen. The ladies that worked at the desk were so helpful with suggestions on where to eat and things to see. They even made us a breakfast box for each of us because we had an early morning flight. They were wonderful! I would definitely stay here again if visiting Athens.

Staff were so good. Free breakfast was much better than we were expecting. Room was clean, modern, and bed was comfy. A little noisy at night, but not ridiculous (unless you're super sensitive). Appreciated the blackout curtains. Good, quiet A/C. The only things didn't quite like about the room were that the shower floor wasn't sloped enough, so the water pooled before draining and sometimes smells came up from the drain, but neither was crazy bad - just noticeable. We actually really liked it and wished we could have extended our stay there.

We love the location of the property and the staff; however, our room did not hit the mark. The concept of the concrete vibe is great but it’s obvious that it hasn’t been properly cleaned. All of the corners and especially the bathroom floor and walls were all horribly dirty. The shower room smelled terribly of mildew and there was an incense holder hidden behind the front door. That was a clear indication to me that they knew it smelled bad. The sheets had stains which I took photos of and so did our bath towels. The breakfast is great and the location is wonderful, but this place needs a deep clean.

The hotel is very clean and modern. Great area for food night life and easy access to transportation. The metro is around the corner, but my favorite was the staff especially the lady who works reception during the daytime. First time in Athens got lost going to the hotel and calll asking her for directions. She was patient and when I get to the hotel she informed me on how to get around the area . Great place would definitely stay there again.

The best thing about this hotel is the reception staff- they are the nicest reception staff I’ve met. Really keen to help, nothing was too much trouble, very chatty. One day I asked for some of their breakfast cake in my breakfast box and they helpfully provided it. They also answer their emails very quickly. Only thing is breakfast is served quite late so if doing day trips you miss out on this, but do get a box.

The staff, specifically, Chrystal, was fantastic. She helped us navigate the area with maps and information. Helped us get our phones all up to travel mode. Pointed out local fun spots. I can’t say enough good things about her. She is a wonderful and kind person, and an absolute professional at her job.
