What guests report

View

9th floor and higher rooms with balconies offer stunning Acropolis views; lower and interior-facing rooms have minimal or obstructed views of emergency stairs or parking areas

Bed & mattress

Exceptionally comfortable with high-quality linens and pillow menu options; consistently praised as some of the best beds guests have slept on

Bathroom & water

Spacious with rainfall showerhead, excellent water pressure, proper hot water, green marble walls, and premium toiletries; one guest noted shower pressure issues in their room

Wi-Fi

Requires daily re-login to hotel network; guests found this slightly inconvenient but functional

Breakfast

Exceptional buffet with extensive variety, fresh local and international options, made-to-order eggs, Greek yogurt, local honey, premium pastries; absolutely worth the included rate and consistently rated outstanding

AC / heating

Effective and quiet; one guest reported thermostat light remained on despite blackout curtains, resolved on subsequent nights; another noted difficulty adjusting fan speed (only one setting) causing temperature swings

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Request a room facing the interior courtyard or away from the main street (Vassilissis Amalias) to avoid traffic noise, as many guests noted the bustling road despite good soundproofing

Book a room on the 9th floor or higher with a balcony to maximize Acropolis and city views; lower/interior rooms have minimal or obstructed views

Arrive early to secure pool loungers; the rooftop pool is small with limited seating (8–12 chairs), so they fill quickly, especially on hot days
