    Pros +

    • Outside noise was too much to handle. We were awake till 3 am.
    • Staff was very helpful. Very considerate and really worked to be sure we had a good stay
    • It’s located in the center city neighborhood it very nice and quiet the staff was really friendly the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful we traveled a lot this hotel is a 5 star compared to the other ones we stayed in also the chef at the breakfast bar very nice

    Cons -

    • Area is fairly noisy (they provided ear plugs) and the curtains did not fully close. Breakfast was adequate but you have to walk up spiral stairways to get to the fourth floor
    • Facilities need renovation.
    • Super loud at one of the nights (including cigarette smells coming in the room through the closed windows). Breakfast was very lame and overall the design and experience was not very welcoming (design, shower and more)

    Great location, hotel is very close to all attractions by foot, metro is only 3 minutes away (direct line to airport), market store is also around the corner. At first, street looks little bit like ghetto, however that's really not the case, it is perfectly safe and the street is very much alive all the time and has very casual, artistic vibe.Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, they speak English perfectly. We had coffee machine in our room, with coffee and tee bags. We also got bottled water each day. There are slippers and earplugs for use as well. Everything was very clean. Bed was comfortable.We arrived early, left our bags in hotel and when we came back our bags were waiting for us in the room, which was really nice surprise.Breakfast was great, it was served on top floor till 11 (so you don't need to get up early). They have zero waste policy, so they don't prepare a lot of food in advance, but you won't be hungry, because they fill in all the time. You can also order few additional dishes (like omelettes) and they prepare it for you, those portions are big and tasty.

    Everything was great for us, but those who are light sleepers should know that right next to the hotel there are many bars and cafes with outdoor seating, so it can be little noisy at night (that's why you get earplugs).

    Location is so central to everything. Hotel is everything you need for a short break. There are a couple of lively bars just outside the hotel which we loved but others may find intrusive. Staff are so friendly and accommodating.

    Everything was great, we really enjoyed our stay.

    10BarryPosted on: 11-4-2024

    The staff were excellent and very welcoming! Really helpful from the minute we walked in. They even looked after our luggage while we spent our last day sight seeing. Thanks again ??

    Noiese from the Transistor club and restaurant for breakfast ( air conditional) , breakfast is not too much good. Egs omlet was very nice. But coffe and orange juice, bread is not good.

    The hotel staff are great. Spacious room and bathroom. Good breakfast

    Noisy street

    This boutique hotel is in an area very close to the main Plaka area in Athens, It is lively in the evenings mainly frequented by the younger set. We had read that it could be noisy at night but we didn't hear a thing. There is a nice bar next door with the cheapest drinks in Europe. Breakfast here was exceptional - we enjoyed chatting with Irini each morning and she made us scrambled eggs. Plenty of choices. Reception staff were lovely also and nothing was too much trouble.

    10BobbiePosted on: 6-22-2024

    The cook, Vacillia, makes a fabulous Greek omelette w salad. The front desk staff were personable and very accommodating!

    The graffiti is everywhere in the neighborhood. It was shocking at first, but we learned that it adds to the vibe.

    10AytulPosted on: 6-12-2024

    I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure all my needs were met. Especially Crystal from the reception was very helpful. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast (i highly recommend vasilia's delicious omlettes and salads) and the convenient location, which made exploring the city very easy.

    Location is a big plus - walking distance to most attractions, very good airport connection via metro. Many fantastic restaurants and bars nearby. Indeed, it gets noisy at night due to the bars, but using earplugs (which are also provided by the hotel) cancels out all the noise.Comfy bed and pillows, mini fridge available Good breakfast and free coffee is also provided in your room. The staff is super friendly and helpfulWould definitely stay here again

    The bathroom layout wasn't ideal, with the sink being separated from the rest - but this is just a personal preference and not a huge inconvenience

    9StephaniePosted on: 6-1-2024

    Perfect location. Very friendly staff. They even ordered a take away breakfast for me, because I had to leave really early in the morning. The room had a very nice interior.

    Because of the good location, the street can be noisy. The hotel anticipated already on this issue by providing earplugs in te room. However for me, the noise wasn’t really an issue. Slept right through it. But it could be a problem for difficult sleepers.

    9DumanPosted on: 5-22-2024

    the receptionist is a gem, she explained everything and was super friendly, the location is great

    the street was quite loud, but the hotel provided earplugs

    9MichellePosted on: 5-3-2024

    I loved the room, the service and the breakfasts!

    The noise from the nightclubs downstairs which went in to the early morning hours Friday night.

    The staff is very friendly and so helpful. The hotel is very clean and the bed is super comfortable. In the center of Athens, walking distance from all the major attractions.

    Outside can be a bit noisy until early morning but that isn’t the hotels fault.

    8PaoloPosted on: 4-9-2024

    The location is great, very close to the train station from the airport.The staff were great, especially Crystal at the reception.Espresso is available in the room!

    Rooms are a bit noisy as the face a street with pubs.The washbasin is in the bedroom rather than in the toilet. That takes some getting used to.
