The location was perfect for someone staying in Athens, especially for the first time. Everything was close, shopping, dining, museums, ruins, etc. etc. Could not ask for a better location.
The hotel staff were very helpful. The food was good. The bar both in the lobby and the rooftop bar were very good. The pool was a wonderful place to get away from the heat and relax.

Loved this hotel and especially the rooftop restaurant with a great breakfast buffet and the amazing view of the Acropolis! My only suggestion would be to please provide more outlets for guests to charge electronic devices.
