Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Many appreciate the central location, making it easy to walk to attractions like the Plaka district. The complimentary breakfast buffet receives high marks for its variety, and the rooftop restaurant is frequently recommended for its excellent food and, again, that Acropolis view; however, a few guests have mentioned occasional noise from the street. Several guests highlighted receiving upgrades, welcome drinks or a complimentary bottle of wine.
