NEGATIVE 1- I booked a Deluxe room. during check in the reception said I got an upgrade, but actually they downgraded me into a superior room, which is slightly cheaper. 2- There was a gratuity bottle of water in the room on first day, but was not renewed. I called reception, they said they will send it but never send. Also the instant coffee was not renewed in second day. 3- There was no hand wash liquid in the room, I called reception, they sent a new bottle 4- Later I realized there is no shampoo in the shower, I called the reception and they sent a new bottle. 5- There was no slippers in the room. I called reception and they sent slippers. 6- The room was not cleaned although housekeeping came and sorted the bed. But the used towels were left on the ground. 7- The staff at the rooftop garden was very moody. Didnt want to answer questions, she was distributing cutlery on the tables, but holding them from the tip, not the handle. She didnt wear gloves. 8- Coffee machine at breakfast did not work on first morning. No butter served. POSITIVE 1- Location was good. Nice neighborhood and close to attractions. 2- We only booked bed, didnt pay for breakfast in the reservation, but they gave us free breakfast. Breakfast was mediocre. 3- In general the hotel was clean. 4- The bed and pillows were very comfortable.

We had a great room. Very clean and comfortable. The hotel is updated and in a convenient location. The staff were all great and went out of their way to make sure we were having a good time at the hotel and Athens especially the 2 brothers from Albania. A special thanks to them.

The hotel is centrally located and it has close access to the underground and bus routes. The building is good looking and modern feel. The hall and the furniture is updated, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious with all the amenities that made my stay very confortable. The roof garden is nice and the breakfast is varied and delicious. The only downside is the closeness to a busy road and the related noise can be heard from the 5th floor. So make sure you get a higher floor if possible.
