I had a great stay here in an executive suite. While it's not located in the center of the touristy parts of Athens, it's a 10-20 minute walk to most locations which is perfectly fine. It's also very close Kolonaki and Syntagma Square. This is a boutique-style hotel with only 68 rooms which I really like. The staff was wonderful and helpful. The hotel is nicely decorated and clean. Noise could be an issue if you're on a lower floor facing the busy street but for us it was fine on a high floor. There are rooms with an acropolis view so try and ask for that when you reserve or check in. Breakfast was excellent with buffet and cooked to order items. The bathroom was a good size with the toilet separated by a glass enclosure. If I had to nitpick, the shower and bathtub have that partially open glass wall separation which is so common in newer hotels these days which I really don't prefer. It's still not a deal-breaker.

Beautiful rooms. Well appointed. Quiet location yet convenient to major sites. Stunning view of the Acropolis from some rooms. The staff is fantastic. The breakfast is superb. The Japanese restaurant is absolutely top notch. Next level innovated Japanese dishes expertly prepared. Incredible rooftop dining with amazing Acropolis views especially at night with the lights on the patio and the Acropolis. Highly recommend
