The Stanley
The room was clean and nice. The rooftop view from the 9th floor was awesome. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was wonderful. However, the hotel’s location/area didn’t feel safe after 7 p.m. The view from the room was of the city, which I didn’t like.

Royal Olympic Hotel
We loved having the pool to retreat to after being out in the heat and the crowds of Athens. My room was gorgeous directly below the restaurant and with a view of the Acropolis. Loved everything about staying here.
