I stayed for 2 weeks. I chose this property because it was close to the Eureka Greek Language School where I took 18 hours of Travelers Greek. It deserves more stars but it has quirky idiosyncrasies which make getting to 5 asymptotic. The staff is friendly, the breakfast satisfying, the location ideal, the price suitable to my budget, the guests conversational and well travelled. The quirks? The elevator climbs one floor short of its destination, the room temp is best regulated by opening the window, the elevator cabin arrives short of level, the front door often is a ajar and clicks, the common space downstairs doubles as breakfast area and bar so there’s no space for quiet down time. The rooms/spaces were cleaned daily. On the whole there value here and a charming shared experience to be had.

Property is very clean, bedding was good quality, and there were no issues with hot water in the shower. Room seemed like it was newly renovated (room #15 on the 4th floor). It was quiet between about midnight and 6am. The elevator makes a very loud grinding bang every time it stops, which you can hear in the room and made it hard to sleep. The elevator also oddly stopped about 1/2 meter from the actual floor and the door opened, which was unsafe, so we took the stairs for the rest of our stay. Breakfast was fine, which included hard boiled eggs, apples/oranges, cereal, tomato, cucumber, cheese, ham, bread, so so filter coffee, juice. Housekeeping staff was very nice and offered every day to clean the room. Staff at the bar/breakfast area/check-in were usually professional and friendly, but the staff person at check-in seemed to hate his job and appeared irritated at normal questions. Location was great and steps from the acropolis entrance and acropolis museum, many restaurants, and shops. The roof bar terrace had an amazing view and opens at 6pm. We would stay again (and take the stairs).
