9.1Verified guest“Fancy double room with a great view of the Parthenon, coffee, and a large double bed. Wonderful breakfast selection for all tastes, with exceptional view, fresh orange juice, and savory hot dishes.”
9.1Verified guest“I truly enjoyed this hotel. Had a great stay for two nights at the beginning and end of my Greek trip, with exceptional staff and a stunning location within a short walking distance of the historic center. The room I booked was big with a patio. The venue was really close to the Acropolis as well as the museum. Found a place called Mani Mani, set steps away from the hotel, and ate there a few times.”
