Excellent experience
What an excellent hotel. We had a family room (effectively interconnecting rooms) and it worked perfectly. The rooms are well designed, impeccably clean and have lots of great touches to make you feel at home. The hotel has a lovely terrace (with views of the Acropolis), as well as a cafe, gym etc. Breakfast was much better than the average. Hotel is in a great location - walking distance to the centre, but in a greener more relaxed suburb. And most importantly, the staff were super friendly and helpful. If I were to come back to Athens, I dont think I would even bother looking for anywhere else to stay.

Easy to recommend!
We would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Athens. It is located at museum row and Kolonaki, with easy access via nearby metro to Syntagma Square two stops away (also walkable, if you don’t mind). Getting to other historic sites such as the Acropolis and ancient agora requires a further journey, but they are also accessible via metro. In the summer heat, these sites would be quite a walk, but it is doable for those without physical mobility challenges. (We walked around the city one day leaving from the hotel and logged about 20,000 steps.) The hotel itself is beautifully designed and comfortable with good WiFi and an excellent breakfast featuring cold buffet and hot dishes made to order. They will also make your preferred espresso beverage or provide filter coffee. Nondairy milk and yogurt are available. The roof bar offers sandwiches and small plates for a charge starting in the evening, but the views of the Aegean and the Acropolis are beautiful as the sun goes down behind the hill and the air starts to cool. We stayed in an extra large room on the 6th floor, which was exceptionally comfortable and included automatic espresso and a selection of snacks and beverages. The service was also excellent from the first interaction to the goodbye. You may hear faint music at night in higher floor rooms coming from the rooftop bar, but it did not continue late and we did not find it disturbing at all. We would stay hear again without question. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality!

Dear Tvoz, thank you for this wonderfully detailed review. We're glad the design, the breakfast, the rooftop views and the team all made such a strong impression from start to finish. It means a lot that you would come back without question. Hope to welcome you again soon.

Loved this hotel
We loved our X large room on the top floor, everything was generous in size and quality. The rooms are so comfortable with a modern aesthetic, impressive mini bar, turntable and vinyl, and a sizeable balcony with hot tub (although best for use in the mornings or after sunset given the hot afternoons). Comfortable bed with high quality linens. Staff were very helpful and made some great restaurant recommendations. Breakfast in the hotel was also very good. We also loved the location, being out of the tourist hotspots but close to everything. Will definitely come back!
