We loved the old-fashioned room decor and the convenience of near all tourist attractions. The Fresco room was spacious, and the hot tub at the balcony (bring bathing suit) was a plus after hours of long walks.
A Beautiful, clean, well restrored and freshly renovated quaint hotel in the heart of Athens, n Athens , stone throw from Plaka Athens and Monastiraki and surrounded by fabulous dinning options and great shops.
First of all it was an amazing location. Small walk to all of Athens best locations.
The room was great. Loved the bathroom and the jacuzzi was fantastic and worked well which is rarely the case. It could be a little more private but we used it just fine.
The spa was wonderful with very welcoming staff. At first we were a little disappointed we had to pay extra for the spa but actually it was a wonderful experience / facilities and we ended up going back.
The staff were very friendly / helpful and allowed us a late check out to use the spa and also held our bags until we left for the airport.
Overall a wonderful experience and highly recommended.
Location is great.
Room is cosy but uncomfortable.

First some positives - staff were incredibly helpful and polite, amenities such as mini bar and robes were lovely, and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is in a very central location, easy to walk to any of the sites and easy to get to by public transport.
Hotel is very hard to find, it was pure luck that the concierge was outside smoking and asked us if we were looking for the hotel.
The bathroom was not very well laid out at all. The shower tray filled with water and overflowed within a minute of the shower being on - there was a drain in the bathroom so unsure if this was by design? If so it was still poorly designed as the floor slopes down towards the door, so as well as flooding the bathroom it also floods the hallway.
The room we had was advertised as having a hot tub, a more accurate term would be “out door bathtub, with jets”. It is only suitable in size for one person, and is overlooked by multiple windows.
The entrance is through the restaurant, makes it feel a bit less safe and we had some trouble figuring this out. Checkin/checkout otherwise was easy and straight forward. We had a great stay - the room was amazing, quite big for europe with high ceilings, they could have probably made the bathroom bigger by even just 1 foot on each side, would make a huge difference. Pretty weird though that I was asked for a deposit for the room (or write down a CC number) - haven't been asked this anywhere else.
great location: easy to walk to basically everything you need to see in Athens in minutes. Plenty of restaurants and shops immediately around. the room was fantastic and very large w/a slightly separate sitting area, and was very clean (im picky). I also booked the room w/the outdoor hot tubon the balcony which was really great and relaxing after walking very day for weeks! also not that if you book a room w/breakfast included, the restaurant doesn't open until 8am,so if you have an early flight like it did you wont be able to take advantage of that. Staff was helpful and accommodating, however the check-in desk was located inside the restaurant, which was unusual but the staff helped direct me when they saw me coming w/my bags ... Also helpful, was that there was a small pull-off/parking area in front for taxis/vehicles (this is VERY handy when getting dropped off/picked up), since many hotels in Athens dont have this .. I would definitely stay again!

Good hotel with spa in Athens
The hotel location is very convenient, walking distance to major touriusty things to do. The spa is wow! I just wish the time slots were one hour rather than half hour. Our room was surprisingly quiet. Comfortable bed. Also, the restaurant is very good with kind and caring stuff. Next time in Athens we will stay there again
As far as a location is concerned, it doesn’t get much better than this. Staff were helpful, room was very clean. Because of it’s great location in the middle of all the action, it can be somewhat noisy at night, but really not a big deal.
The location of the hotel is perfect for any attractions you may want to see. Plenty of food options available in the area. Staff was friendly and the room was clean. The bathroom is not ideal for getting ready. Lighting was poor and no real place to put your toiletries or clothing. Hotel would be fine for shorts visits. The air conditioning worked, but was difficult to use.
The hotel was beautiful and had great accommodations. It’s conveniently located to everything and the included breakfast is comprehensive. The hotel arranged transportation from the ferry and to the airport. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
great stay right in the heart of everything. i only had to take a taxi from the airport (50-80 euros) and to the beach(15 euros). walked to all the major sites in Athens. clean, friendly and great service at a good price.
We had amazing time so close to everything and staff where the best. The girl on reception was so nice and helpful when we needed anything or had a question. When we had to order a taxi to go to the ferry the next morning she had it ready and prepped our breakfast the night before thank so much
