rooftop cafe wonderful view renovated hotel sterile feeling excellent location metro station room cleanliness average state acoustic separation poor quality bathroom drain bad smell
The rooftop cafe provides wonderful views. I liked that it was a renovated older hotel. It did not have that sterile feeling. The location was perfect. It was steps from the acropoli metro station.
my room felt below average in cleanliness. The acoustic separation in my room was poor and things were falling apart. the smell from the drain in the bathroom was bad.

excellent location helpful staff rooftop terrace small bathroom broken tv noisy rooms
The location is excellent. It is very close to the Acropolis. I appreciated the rooftop terrace. It provided a great view. The staff was also helpful .
The bathroom was quite small. The tv did not work in my room (and no one fixed it). I found the rooms a little noisy in the morning.
