Riccardo

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Good location, friendly staff, old hotel, everywhere smoke-stained smell, uncomfortable beds, small bathrooms, poor maintenance. Breakfast was poor: supermarket bread, chees and ham, yogurt, packaged cake, and cold hard-boiled eggs. Not recommended. The only plus is the location (about a 15-20 minute walk from the Acropolis) and the truly beautiful view of the Acropolis from the rooftop.

Breakfast was a boring cheese and bologna-type choice with hard-boiled egg. But most of my Greek hotels had this exact same cold breakfast. Insufficient electrical outlets in room. Located on Athinas street near Monesteraki Square: lively street with many food shops.
