The location cannot be better! We were able to walk everywhere. The front desk staff was friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast was superb. And the view of the Acropolis from our room was utterly magical.

COCO-MAT Athens BC
Genuinely so brilliant, from the moment we got in it was wonderful. Had a cancelled flight so had a 10 hour flight to the place plus a 1 hour metro which was very tiring and hot but instantly welcomed us and throughout exceeded all my expectations. Lovely place, lovely people, brilliant ...

This delightful hotel is perfectly situated just around the corner from the new Acropolis Museum. The staff is polite and helpful, the food in the dining room is delicious (especially the varied soups), and when I return to Greece, this is definitely going to be my base. Kudos to the staff!
