The hotel condition is nothing like the ones shown on your website. Very tired, it also says car parking available under carport - incorrect. Some on street parking but very limited, there is at least an underground air park just across the road.

Very dusty, especially under bed and around furniture. Floor and surfaces needed a proper clean, but bed was good and bedding was clean and fresh. Photographs make it look more modern than it actually is. Good view of city from roof top, but bar limited. Was okay for a business trip one night stay.

Incredibly dirty hotel to the point of being disgusting: mold under the shower, shower glass not cleaned with drops after previous guests, the weight with previous guests feet mark on it, marks on armchair, opened yoghurt in the mini-bar after previous guests, at breakfast dirty coffee machine with coffee and milk spilled around it... The list is much longer... The entry was dark after midnight - when we entered coming back from dinner all lights were dimmed at the reception and we were unsure the hotel door will actually open as everything was dark. Luckily we have spent just one night in this very much not 5* hotel. The only good thing was an amazing view on the Acropolis from the breakfast room at 10th floor.

There was a scent that was coming from the toilet or the sewer, towels were a little worn, how every staff I encountered was extremely pleasant and helpful.
