Probably one of the best locations in the city of Athens. The staff is excellent and truly works miracles to provide the best possible service despite the building being quite old. Breakfast on the terrace is a great choice, although the access is outdated and presents a high risk in case of an emergency. It was probably an excellent property forty years ago; today it performs well mainly thanks to the staff. The food at the rooftop restaurant, which is also where breakfast is served, is very good. Unfortunately, there are no outlets available for charging phones or laptops. Overall, it’s acceptable—there are certainly worse places in Europe.

Completely in Love with the view from the Rooftop...
The room was spacious. The location was walking distance to all the sites and the roof top was magical at night when all the most iconic places had switched on the lights.

We stayed 4 nights and our room was very comfortable.

Check-in is efficient and we were able to store luggage as we had arrived very early.

Location is perfect for accessing tours, shopping, restaurants.

The rooftop restaurant is beautiful and we enjoyed the breakfast buffet each morning.

The hotel is two buildings and it takes a couple trips to orient to the elevators and stairs.

The bar, lobby lounge area and pool were lovely.

They have quite a few groups come through and conferences, but it was never inconvenient.

Compliments to the luggage stewards who work tirelessly with so many people and maintain a calm, friendly demeanor.

Let me start with the good part the rooftop breakfast was very nice, and some areas of the hotel show good use of high-quality materials. However, overall, the rooms, elevators, and customer service are far below standard.

When I first checked in, my room key didn’t work. I had to ask a housekeeper to help open the door, which was the first disappointment. I went back to the reception to explain the issue and requested a room change. The second room I received was also very small.

I’ve stayed in many hotels, but I’ve never seen a TV as small as the one in this property — honestly, a computer monitor would be bigger. Then I tried to use the safe box and found it locked. When I called the front desk, they sent a bellman, who opened it with a screwdriver — not exactly reassuring for security.

I don’t like giving negative reviews, but I truly don’t understand how this hotel is rated four or five stars. I also visited the gym, which turned out to be in a different building around the corner.

Overall, it was a great disappointment the only highlight was the rooftop restaurant.

I was told that our room would be ready at a certain time, my husband was told a different time. When I returned to the same staff member I spoke to, I was told to wait longer. My husband walked up and the same staff member he spoke to gave us the room.
The rest of the staff, especially the overnight staff were very helpful and amazing. The breakfast sits on the roof top with a beautiful view of the Pantheon. Walls are very very thin…

The room is large and well-furnished. But, the heat/ac may be shut off if management decides there's no need. Nice shower, hard to adjust temperature. In the evening one night, there was no warm water until we complained. Beautiful, but expensive, rooftop restaurant. Great location in central Athens. A reasonable walk to several key places. Some of the staff was simply rude.

Oh yes, the elevators are a nightmare. They are small, slow, and the doors are set to "kill." Don't test them.

Interesting Hotel. Beautiful Building and Lobby. Room was done with colored LED lights, black wallpaper, and appeared to be a "chic, modern, and unique" design. It was fine because I only used the room to sleep at night. I spent my time exploring Athens and the many areas near the hotel. Great location!
The hotel does show a lot of signs of deffered maintenance. The staff was friendly and helpful but I didnt much or require any extra services. Not sure I would stay there again.

Only the foyer and roof top are 5 *, rooms very old, damaged carpet, window didn’t open, old bath, 2*. Only there for 2 nights and had to get the room key reprogrammed 4 times. Everyone you spoke to was complaining. Avoid

Location and hotel breakfast is very good
Reception people are kinda rude
No slipper, no water or coffee, everything you need to pay, is this really a 5 stars hotel?
17.08.2025 Guest
This is definately not a 5 star hotel. I can’t understand how it’s been given that ranking. The room was definitely not the same as the picture. The carpet in the room was old and faded. The decor looked like it was from when it was first built or updated, at least 30+ years ago. The bathroom in the executive room was worse than Butlins basic accommodation in the U.K., and that’s saying something. The yellow sofa in the grand reception area was tired and dirty. I definitely would never stay there again or recommend to anybody.
The majority of the staff were unfriendly. The waiters in the dining room never even looked at you. We had to go to them to request tea and coffee with our breakfast and it seemed like it was too much trouble for them.
We stayed in the hotel as part of a fully inclusive cruise booking. The cruise company Iglu cruises must have got a really good deal with them. The hotel was full of people on fully inclusive deals.
Definitely not five star. More like 2 star in my opinion.
