Reviews
I requested a special surprise for my girlfriend’s birthday at midnight, and the team organized everything perfectly exactly as expected. The attention to detail and care made the moment truly special.
We also used the spa and enjoyed a massage, which was excellent and very relaxing. Breakfast was great with a wide variety of options, the staff were friendly and professional, and the small Christmas gift was a lovely and thoughtful touch.
The location is excellent, with easy access to all major attractions. Overall, a classy hotel with outstanding service highly recommended for a special stay in Athens.
The hotel’s atmosphere is luxurious yet very relaxing, and the location is ideal — close to the city center but still quiet enough to enjoy a peaceful stay. The breakfast buffet
I stayed a total of 5 days in between tours. Rooms were always clean. If had to find any improvement, maybe have a bidet in every toilet.
But overall, I recommend this hotel. Close enough to city centre via subway or €8-10taxi.
I jus told them is my birthday and they added a cute nice cake!
