Central Stay with Amazing Views

central location nice view nespresso machine clean room
I found the location really good. It was close to main attractions. My room provided a nice view. I could see the Acropolis from my window (which was great). I enjoyed having a Nespresso machine with a wide tea selection in the room. This offered convenience. I also appreciated the cleanliness of the room. Everything was well-kept and fresh.
The street outside was quite loud at night. It sometimes made it difficult to sleep.

grateful stay

the hotel location was really central. i liked my large room with comfortable beds. breakfast was great with many choices. the rooftop bar had an amazing view.
my room faced a concrete shaft, and it blocked natural light, so the room felt a little bit closed.

Central Location and Great Breakfast!

central location great location remodeled bathroom varied breakfast
The hotel's location is unbeatable. It is directly across from Monastiraki Square. That location made exploring Psyrri, Monastiraki, and Plaka neighborhoods very easy. The breakfast included each day featured a large variety of food. I found options to suit everyone. The rooms are well soundproofed so I wasn't bothered by street noise at night.
My room had strange wiring. I couldn't turn all the lights off without turning off the power to the whole room.
