My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were chic and spacious, with a balcony offering a super nice view over Athens. The black paint made it a bit dark for routine tasks like applying makeup, but overall, it's a great place. The location was perfect, close to various attractions and local restaurants, though a bit of a walk to the city center. The service was incredibly welcoming and efficient, making my stay even more enjoyable. The dining experience was delightful, especially the variety of pastries and fresh dishes every morning.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were not only very comfortable and stylish but also had a balcony that we adored. The cool little details in the modern-minimal interior truly set this property apart from the usual Athenian places. The service was exceptional, with the staff being verry friendly and almost spoiling us in every occasion. The location, although not right in the touristy center, was central and perfect for a city break. The dining experience, representing Greek cuisine, was fantastic with a great buffet style and amazing coffee. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor downsides worth noting.

The service was amazing, wonderfully helpful, and super hospitable. Iliana at reception was by far the best front-desk person I have ever encountered. The staff throughout were super friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable.

The location was ok for us as we visit Athens often, but it might be a bit of an issue for first-time visitors as it's a 10-minute walk from Syntagma Square. However, being in an upmarket neighborhood made the stay quite pleasant and convenient. The hotel is centrally located, close to the Evvangelismos metro station, offering easy access to various parts of the city.

I found the dining experience to be great, especially with the speciality pastries, cereals, yoghurts, cold cut meats, cheeses, fruit, and juices. The representation of Greek cuisine was well done, although the variety could have been better, particularly to cater to different tastes.
