7.8/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room felt a bit small and in need of a makeover, not quite living up to the 'Acropolis View' expectation, but the large terrace did offer a breathtaking view of the floodlit Acropolis. The complimentary bottle of wine and water was a nice touch.

Rooms

7.0

The room was a bit small and could use some refreshing, falling short of the 'Acropolis View' promise.

Service

The service was exceptional, with genuinely warm and helpful staff who shared valuable recommendations for exploring outside of Athens.

Location

The hotel's location was ideal, slightly away from the touristy areas but within walking distance to Plaka and the Acropolis. However, the immediate surroundings were not as pleasant due to unlit streets.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was a mix of highs and lows. The food was delicious, featuring fresh and high-quality items, yet the overall dining setup was basic and could use some improvement.

Facilities

The hotel had standard facilities, nothing too extravagant but sufficient for a comfortable stay.
