Well located quiet hotel situated in the Plaka area. Beautiful large modern comfortable room with an awesome view. Breakfast is outside of the hotel but literally a 20 second walk away and the breakfasts were excellent with plenty of choice. Staff at the hotel were pleasant and gave us useful information. Would definitely stay there again when we revisit Athens.
