    A convenient basic hotel

    On this occasion we had what we think was a family room. A twin bedroom linked to a double. The double had one power socket whilst the twin had a socket by each bed. However we had one power fob so if we used the twin side with the convenient sockets we had no power on the other side/bathroom. We arrived really late and had an early start so we just left it, otherwise we would have requested another fob from reception.

    Location is great. We tend to always chose this hotel for an overnight in Athens on arrival/leaving. It’s not fancy but it’s clean, convenient & safe. A basic breakfast is included and always enjoyable. The staff have always been friendly.

    Maybe more variety in the breakfast room.

    The location of the hotel . It was within walking distance of the Acropolis. It was surrounded by restaurants, shops and unbelievable historic sites.

    Walkable from station and tourist sites.

    Location is easy walking distance from the Monastiraki stop on M3 from the airport. And walking distance to most tourist sites. The beds were comfortable enough, the room had air conditioning if needed, and also breakfast was available. For the price it was ok. Although bathroom was tiny, the door opens onto the hand basin. Not sure if all rooms are like that, or the proprietor puts people who book through booking.com in the small rooms. The only problem, as said on other reviews, is no hot water for much of the day which I would think is a basic for any hotel. I managed a shower late afternoon as the water was warm enough, but that isn’t ideal. We couldn’t shower before leaving for the day. Maybe not a problem in hot weather. Other reviews noted smell in bathroom, I guess this is because old hotel. Wasn’t pleasant smell but was only there occasionally.

    Room was quite small but we managed. We had to keep the window closed (therefore it was stuffy), as the hotel is right on a very busy street and there were outdoor cafes/eateries with a lot of loud talking and a late night band playing boisterously for a few hours.

    Quaint hotel with old fashioned charming elevator. Good staff, very pleasant to deal with. Excellent value for money except for noise issue.

    Shower was a bit of a let down. It had the good old plastic shower curtain that wrapped around your legs at any opportunity. Then to top it off, the drain could not get rid of the water quick enough, hence 2 inches deep on the floor. Hot water was nice and hot which is a plus. Breakfast was a bit lacking in variety.

    Very good location. Close to everything.

    Nothing to dislike, at first the location was not what I would have preferred being further away from the places I usually frequent but I then found that there was a whole different area for me to investigate so the extra 10 minute walk didn’t really make a difference . It is by a very lively interesting area of Athens as well so there is nothing that I wasn’t happy with .

    I really liked the property it had an old world elegance that you don’t find much anymore

    The room was quite noisy due to being on a main road but we still managed to sleep ok. We only went for breakfast once and it was really limited, there were no clean bowls and not much choice but we found somewhere nearby that did great breakfast.

    Great locations, lots of places to eat nearby. Staff really helpful. Could see the acropolis from our room.
