Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were a bit small and outdated, with some noise from local traffic at night, but they offered a good view of the city. The service was a mix of grumpy and efficient, with a focus on resolving issues like potential insects. The location, though not central, was easy to access and superb. The dining experience was low quality and noisy, frequented by busloads of tourists.
The hotel is conveniently located in Athens, close to shops and metro stations. The service was lacking, with tired and unhelpful staff, particularly Minoas on duty. The rooftop restaurant had limited options and felt more like a canteen. The rooms had windows facing the main street and were decent but not exceptional. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.
The hotel rooms have a bit of an outdated feel, reminiscent of a 1970's high school cafeteria. Despite this, they offer ample space. However, they are in need of a renovation as they appear worn out compared to the stylish lobby and sitting rooms. The service, although polite and helpful, lacks knowledge on public transportation options and some staff seem moody. The location, while easily accessible from Panormou Station and with great views over Athens, could be slightly more central. Dining was below expectations with low-quality food in a noisy setting. Overall, the hotel offers mixed experiences with room for improvement.
The hotel has spacious rooms but needs updating. The rooms were quite spacious, but didn't smell fresh. Service is friendly and abundant, but staff were unfriendly at the reception and rooftop swimming pool bar. The location is a bit further out from the city center and not the heart of the city nightlife. The dining offers a decent variety of foods but has some areas for improvement.
I was amazed by the stunning view from the cozy room but felt it was a bit tight to move around. The value for money was excellent, making it a great choice. The elevator was a bit slow though.
The hotel was amazing, but let me down big style. We only used it because it's close to an IVF clinic we have been attending. The rooms need reconditioning.
The hotel has a stunning lobby and public areas, yet the rooms need a refurbishment to match the overall style. While the noise levels can be bothersome with sounds from various sources, the rooftop pool and professional service stand out as highlights of the stay.
The hotel has a mixed bag of experiences. The rooms are ok, but our non-smoking room had a strong stale smell of cigarettes. On the upside, the rooftop offers chairs and towels, making it convenient for guests. However, smoking inside the room seems to be allowed, which can be a drawback. Be prepared to pay for every single item by the minute, and there is no minibar in the room.
The hotel offers basic but spacious rooms in a good location just outside the city. It has a slight cigarette smoke odor and rooms are larger than expected from the photos.
The hotel was conveniently located in a good neighborhood, with a nice view from the roof and a pool for a relaxing swim or a drink at night. The service was welcoming and accommodating, including an early check-in. However, the rooms had a slight cigarette smell and were right next to the elevators despite requests for a different location.
The hotel offers clean and tidy rooms with all necessary amenities for a comfortable stay, although a revamp would freshen up the slightly outdated look. The staff is very nice and helpful, except for a few rude encounters. The location is convenient for airport transit with easy access to the city center attractions. The dining options could be more diverse, but the breakfast is satisfying. Overall, a decent choice for a stay with some minor areas for improvement.
The hotel has big rooms with big windows. However, the breakfast area was hot and not well air-conditioned, making it difficult to enjoy the food. Disappointing quality for the price, as I didn't even have time to check out the pool.
The hotel surpassed my expectations with its cleanliness and service but would benefit from room updates. The location was perfect for my travel needs, and the dining experience, while offering the basics, could improve with more variety. The facilities provided a comfortable stay overall.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were lovely and clean, offering excellent value for money. The location was great, away from the city but easily accessible. The dining experience was fantastic with a wide variety of delicious dishes. The service, apart from Dimetrius going above and beyond, was ordinary.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms on the higher floors were a bit small but cozy, the service was outstanding. The location was convenient, close to various areas in Athens, but the dining experience was lacking in some aspects.
