On the sea with a nice view. Now next to the construction site of the Hellenic projects. Kind and nuce staff. Excellent value for money. The big minus and unacceptable was that to use the sink you had to get into the shower!!! Luckily it had a shower and not a bathtub because otherwise it would have required a long dive for the sink. Apart from the laughter we had, we wet our winter slippers to take a shower and wash our hands and teeth. Completely uncomfortable.

It’s a bit out of the way of restaurants and shops, but it’s just a short walk along the promenade to get to them. Rooms could do with a bit more maintenance, but they were clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

As most of the Hotels in Athens the one close to the see offer less for the price. I found the personal friendly and the hotel was in a nice position in front of the see. The rooms were not so pretty and I didn't like at all the pillows. I was there for work and when I'm on a business trip I mostly appreciate a good bed
