Very nice hotel in the heart of Athens, close to the shopping areas and 10 minutes walk from the Acropolis. The staff are very friendly. Crystal marked out all the key places to visit on a map, giving us various tips and also ensured we would have breakfast boxes on the days we would be leaving early on tours. The rooms are a decent size with modern fittings.

Absolutely the best time at the fountain. The hostesses were absolutely amazing and sent us to wonderful places. People said it’s noisy but to my self and my husband it was just fine with the window closed even on the weekend. We stayed a total of 7 days at the fountain and everyday was an adventure.
