    The street is narrow and tour company will have to make meeting point in other location nearby.

    Willigness of staff to help and their friendliness. They helped us to find goods we were looking for with details.

    WOW!!! If you want to get to know Athens and the Athenians, not tourist "postcards", this hotel is for you. It is very close to two hills with a beautiful view. We always walked to the center so as not to miss any of the unexpected attractions. The Exarcheia district itself is wonderful and unique (you will appreciate it especially if you like the atmosphere of Camden Town in London, the charming streets of Porto or the artistic district of Copenhagen). It is safe and the locals are very nice. There are as many bookstores as cafes, restaurants and artistic graffiti on the walls (on one of them there is an inscription: Do not take photos, Exarcheia is not a museum). The hotel staff are masterful at being nice and helpful. All the positive comments we read before our arrival were confirmed. The room has everything you need, always clean, bathroom, fridge, air conditioning, and at the reception you can always get water, coffee, Coke and a friendly smile.

    The staff was simply amazing. They managed to arrange parking for our 'tiny' van despite the narrow streets being packed with cars. Finding a massage for one of our friends was also not a problem. Yes, the hotel is situated in the real Athens, full of a typical vibe, and good restaurants are nearby.

    Everything was sparkling clean and the overall service was awesome! The employees kept checking on us so we have all we needed. In particular, the receptionist, Kourosh made us really feel at home. I talked to the hotel owner, Aristo and I found him an extraordinary person with so much passionate about his bussiness. He offered me free local drinks among which I loved the Mastic.

    It was in a great area, a lot of nice restaurants, it is in a local area so it has really nice price, good quality. If you feel like it you can walk to the city center (around 25minutes). the hotel staff was awesome! we got a map draw to us and we got a lot of usefull information! everybody was super nice, always asked what we need and always ready to help!the hotel was alway super clean. the area for some might look bad but we had no problem, feels safe.

    The Jacuzzi was in not very nice condition and definitely needs repairs and renovation. Avoid this room if you’re only coming for the Jacuzzi.

    Very cool surrounding area if you like alternative vibes. The room itself was very good with a nice balcony. The friendliness of the person has to be highlighted ! We felt really welcome!

    The price was bit expensive compared to what we got but I assume it’s because we booked it few hours before arriving and on Saturday.

    The people who work there are the nicest people ever. They got us in a surprised check in in the middle of the night and helped us with everything.

    The only complaint is the shower floods the bathroom. This is by design so not sure how it could be fixed. It wasn’t enough to bother me that much. I will still book this place again.

    The staff was amazing. It was in walking distance for us to everyplace (we like to walk)

    None. Perhaps the only weakness is that it is far away from Acropolis.

    Large room, artful style. The floor is cement, so the decoration is at a low cost, but the style doesn't look cheap.

    The warm welcome from staff made was much appreciated especially after a long day of traveling. Our greeting was followed by a lay of the land, where to go what sites to visit and the best time to arrive. The room was comfy the location was in walking distance from some of the best restaurants in the area. The next time we’re in Athens, we’re definitely staying here!

    Don’t be fooled by the appearance of the neighbourhood, it was very safe and loads going on round about. This is where the locals hang out so you aren’t paying tourist prices.

    The staff made us feel like family from the moment we stepped through the door. We stayed in room 500 which had excellent views.

    The electronic key pad for opening the door to the apartment failed to work but thankfully an old fashioned key in a lock box was also provided. It wasn’t possible to connect to the room’s internet but I easily managed to access the connection for another room. Okay but it wasn’t great speed and did cut out intermittently. But not a big deal. The safe door wouldn’t close but room felt secure and I didn’t have valuables to leave in there anyway. I would have preferred secure fitted sheets for the bed because the bottom flat sheet easily came off the mattress. Due to the inaccessible position of the bed sides, you had to crawl in from the bottom, it wasn’t possible to remake. Must have been very difficult for the cleaners! None of these minor issues would stop me booking again. It felt like a comfortable, calm and clean refuge from the busy city.

    A compact well designed apartment. Perfect for solo travellers. I am sure to return with a companion, but will book a two bedroom apartment, although the studio was much bigger than most hotel rooms.
