This is a good hotel - comfortable bed & pillow, good AC, clean room and bathroom, decent breakfast, friendly, helpful, professional staff. If you get the penthouse suite, you get a balcony and a view of the Acropolis. I rate the hotel as less than average because of the area that it is in. All the other buildings on the street (except one other) are abandoned with broken windows, graffiti, etc. The sidewalks are narrow, uneven with holes, broken bottles and sizable cockroaches. When I went out to buy some water, I was surrounded by a group of women who wanted to sell me flowers and didn't want to take no for an answer. It was a bit scary. It isn't the best area and everyone in our group had a near fall / ankle turning incident in the block our hotel was located in. The hotel indicates that it has a bar but it has been closed for awhile. It has snacks until 3 (sandwiches with chips) but no restaurant if you needed or wanted to eat in. One day we got back to the room and they had changed the sheets and sprayed perfume on the sheets and covers - the smell was so strong that even if you weren't scent sensitive, it would have bothered you. We did ask to have the sheets changed and it was done swiftly and the staff were great about it but not sure why they did it to begin with. It is a hard hotel to rate because the hotel itself is good but I would never stay there again. Once you go a few blocks away, the area gets better. If a rough area doesn't bother you, I would recommend this hotel. If you are traveling with small children or have mobility issues, I would not recommend it, due to the area.
