What guests report

View

Rooms with Acropolis views highly praised; views vary by room; partial obstructed views in some units

Bed & mattress

Exceptionally comfortable beds with one guest mentioning considering purchasing identical mattress for home

Bathroom & water

Large showers with excellent water pressure, marble surfaces, separate vanity areas; some rooms lack full-length mirrors

Wi-Fi

Strong and reliable WiFi with USB-C and USB-A charging ports on both sides of bed

Breakfast

Excellent quality served a la carte with made-to-order options, fresh ingredients, generous portions in courtyard setting; highly recommended

AC / heating

Powerful air conditioning that effectively cools rooms in intense heat; one room reported aggressive AC above bed

None — stairs only

Local knowledge

Request a room away from the Norma suite area if noise-sensitive; morning cleaning supply closet access creates disturbance 7am-11am

The hotel is adjacent to nightclubs on one side; request rooms on the quieter side if arriving after early evening check-in

Bring a noise machine or earplugs; despite thick stone walls, some street and restaurant noise carries through
