I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The location was perfect, very close to everything in downtown Athens. The rooms were well-equipped with a balcony and a big bathroom, offering a nice view of the Acropolis. The dining experience was fantastic with a marvelous view of the Acropolis. However, the price was a bit on the higher side, but the value for money was still reasonable.
