The room was clean and breakfast served was excellent. Staff was very helpful and polite. They suggest few restaurants that had live music and excellent traditional Greek cuisine. Thank you to staff. The hotel is so centrally located that you can literally go walking to Plaka. Acropolis, Temple of Zeus and many other places. Also hop on and hop off bus from Palak a it was so convenient to tour various places in Athens.

The host greeted us warmly, offered us juice and chocolate on arrival!! The hotel staff was wonderful and the property was super clean! We dined on the rooftop the first night! We had a lovely view of the Acropolis. The food was exceptional as was the service! The breakfast buffet was large and fresh! The bed was comfortable! We did hear the noise from outside traffic and in the hallway. That was the only issue. The staff helped us arrange taxi service to the airport! Overall a great stay!
