I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very nice and clean with a massive balcony offering a sublime view of Lycabettus hill, but the uncomfortable sofa bed with palpable springs was a downside. The service was polite and courteous, but I found it uneven at times. The location, although safe, was a bit far from the main areas requiring extra walking or taxi rides, yet the pool was a big plus. The dining was decent, although the quality was mediocre. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is a 15-minute walk from the nearest station, and a room facing the street was slightly noisy. However, the area is safe to walk around even after dark and was workable with the Metro. The pool area with sun beds and a pool bar offering food and drinks was a definite highlight.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were slightly dated but spotlessly clean, which was great, although one had an unpleasant smell, probably from the air conditioner. The breakfast options were standard, and adding breakfast was straightforward. The service varied from condescending during check-out to exceptionally friendly and helpful at other times.

The hotel may not be a real 4-star gem, more like a comfortable 3-star option. Despite facing the street, the room I had was an improvement from the smaller first one. The WiFi was a bit spotty, but it had enough charging points to keep my devices juiced up.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were nice, clean, and comfortable, but lacked some basic amenities like a plug next to the bed.
