What an amazing stay. So happy we booked our holiday stay at this hotel. Very friendly and helpful local staff. From the front desk to the breakfast and housekeeping. A truly 5star experience. Newly restored rooms, super comfy beds and twice a day room service. The location is in the heart of Thessaloniki with all main attractions within walking distance. And the breakfast buffet is delicious. Includes local specialties and well known flavors prepared with quality food. We couldn't wait to go every day. . A real gem Highly recommended for business trips, couples or families. . My only side note if you have a rental car and directed to use the recommended parking is to pay at the parking main office to get the hotels discount. I wasn't properly instructed and simply paid at the automated machines and didn't get the hotel discount. 35 Euro a day vs 18 Euro a day. Bummed but done
