Amazing stay!
The location was amazing, and the rooftop views exceptional. (Photos included from rooftop) The staff were great in every way, and the restaurant & food also very memorable! If we ever returned again for another visit we would strongly consider staying there again we loved it that much.
Cannot think of anything that could have been better.

We loved the restaurant and pool overlooking the Acropolis. The location was excellent for access to Plaka. Staff was friendly and so accommodating, allowing us to check in to one of the rooms early, after our early flight.

Bombastische Lage, mitten in der Stadt und mit toller Aussicht auf die Akropolis
Dass der Innenpool klein und nur auf Anforderung ist.

Lovely location and rooftop restaurant.
Perfect location and incredible buffet breakfast included with your stay in their stunning rooftop restaurant with Acropolis views.
We have stayed in so many hotels new and old over the years and have never had a situation where there were no outlets available in the bathroom or anywhere near the beds. Extremely difficult not only for hair blow dryer etc but also now when we have so many electronic devices that require charging overnight. Especially bedside for alarms, clocks etc. only one outlet and had to unplug tv in awkward location. Very strange inconvenience for price point of this hotel. Other newer renovated rooms did not have this issue.
