The location of the hotel was just what we needed to explore the city as we were a few steps away from shopping and endless excellent restaurants. The view of the Acropolis lit up at night from the rooftop balcony was an added plus. The staff at The Pinnacle were nothing short of amazing. So kind, helpful and accommodating.
