In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Clean, comfortable rooms — Guests repeatedly note spotless rooms, fresh linen, and comfortable beds. Several units have balconies, and some are recently renovated with a modern design.
  • Helpful, friendly staff — Multiple reviews highlight staff who go out of their way — from offering directions to helping with an engine problem. Service is described as excellent and welcoming.
  • Rooftop terrace views — A standout feature that offers a nice view after a day of exploring the city, as mentioned by several guests.
  • Good value for money — With rates from around 57 GBP, guests find it a fair price for the quality, especially given the cleanliness and service.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Located outside the historic center — The hotel is a bit out of the main tourist area, about a 10-minute drive from Athens Towers. Public buses are nearby, but you’ll need to factor in travel time to the top sights.
  • Dining rated low — The 'Dining' category scores only 5 out of 10, suggesting the breakfast or on-site food options may not meet everyone’s expectations.
  • Location rating moderate — Guests rate the location at 7 out of 10 — it’s accessible but not central. One review notes the area might feel a bit uncomfortable at night for solo female travelers.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so if you’re traveling with an animal, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
