“Great location, felt safe even though it's central. There's a laundry right opposite, supermarkets nearby, and the metro is a 2-minute walk. About 10 minutes on foot to Omonia Square. The staff were warm and went out of their way to help. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Our family of four had a two-room suite and the terrace was lovely. Excellent value for money.”

“I've stayed here three times and I'll be back. Great value for what you get, and spotlessly clean. All the staff are friendly and you're only a few metres from the metro – just two stops from the Acropolis. Rooms are great, comfortable beds, and a spotless bathroom.”
