The location of this hotel is exceptional. The rooftop terrace has direct view to the Temple of Zeus and the Acropolis. It is truly stunning and surreal to be so close to history. Our booking included the breakfast buffet on the rooftop terrace which was the absolutely highlight of this hot. We booked the Executive Room but it was nothing special, quite basic to be honest. Our balcony view was towards the pool and we got a pretty clear view of the hotel property, it could use some renovations. However, with all that being said, the location of the hotel is quite central and in a safe area. I’d say it would be worth it staying here for 2 nights while you explore the museums and ancient sites.

Yelled at by waiter !
The location is fantastic. We were able to walk everywhere and felt safe doing so. Front desk staff and wait staff at breakfast were not warm or friendly. At breakfast I was even berated by a waiter, actually yelled at in front of other people for sitting at a table. Never in my life have I had that happen. I was shocked. All of the bellhops were pleasant, helpful and gave good directions.

Pros: Location- easy walk to The Acropolis, Roof Top bar- fantastic views and drinks. Nice lobby. Nice bellmen. Cons: Rooms old and very outdated, musty smell, front desk staff rude at times, did not feel welcome. Stay there for the location but know that it's not a luxury hotel and very outdated. Arrived off cruise ship at 9:30 and made to wait to get room until 3:00. Other people were checking in a getting rooms. Not sure if it was because I booked using Expedia and not directly with the hotel. Front desk kept saying my room was not ready but other rooms were available for other reservations.

Loved the rooftop garden restaurant and bar! Terrific breakfast! Great views of the Acropolis and Zeus’ Temple! However, the room was old, outdated, had no usb ports and the single 110 voltage outlet was broken. Asked for international adapter but was told to purchase one down the street. 😔

The room was like something out of the 1970’s. Truly awful as had not been updated for decades Had a balcony room looking over a flat roof when advertised as pool view. Breakfast was not a pleasant experience as hot food ran out and took 30 mins to be replaced. Not sure how they have 5 star rating. Overpriced and under delivered

The staff here made you feel like you were a burden. Do not disturb sign means pound on my door and walk in at 8am here, then gets mad because we told them to get the f out… The hotel lobby looks amazing and should for the price. You get to your room and it’s not what the pictures showed, smelt horrible, looked like it was from the 80s still (hence not like the pictures that were full reno and looked bran new). I travel full time for work and this is a first for me. This hotel is worth about $50 a night max with how run down and horrible it was. DO NOT STAY HERE. It’s so bad that I tried contacting Expedia to get a refund, still waiting.
