OUR REVIEW

A small hotel, modern and neat, with presentable rooms, right in the centre of Athens. We found the location ideal: just off Syntagma square (for the Metro and other transportation to the airport, port and everywhere else in Athens), steps from shops on Ermou street and very close - 2 minute walk - to the beginning of Plaka (the historic, "old town" of Athens, with its quaint streets, houses and tavernas).
An excellent base, with adequate comfort for a short stop-over in Athens. From here you can walk to most sights: the Acropolis, Monastiraki, Thission, the Roman Agora and the Temple of Zeus. (See hotel location on map)

Rooms and bathrooms have been refurbished recently, they are comfortable, functional and quiet, if small. There are 45 twin/double rooms and 1 suite.
Most rooms have views to the streets below & to some common looking buildings. Some rooms have view to the uncovered well between buildings.

One of the twin rooms has an Acropolis view (through big windows and a balcony-ette). This is first come, first served, so send your enquiry early!

Even better, choose the double suite, on the top floor. It is private (you are the sole occupant of this penthouse floor, accessed by staircase from the floor below) and spacious, with a huge balcony/terrace, with almost the whole of Athens at your feet. Views to the Acropolis, the Cathedral, the Observatory and Lycabettus.

Breakfast room ("standard" buffet breakfast).

Suite (2 people max), this is on the top floor - there are stairs from the floor below. Has large terrace with views all around: to the Acropolis, the Observatory, the Cathedral, Lycabettus and Athens. There is view to the Acropolis also from the window in the sitting area and from the bathroom window (!).
 

DISTANCES
150 m from Syntagma square & the Parliament, 100 m from the Cathedral square. 50 m from Ermou street (shopping). 600 m from Acropolis entrance.
Athens airport - 35 km (55 minutes by metro), Pireas port - 15 km (15-20 minutes by metro).
 

Parking in the area would be difficult (unless you pay for private parking in one of the garages around). You are advised not to have a car, and make the most of the central location that allows you to go almost everywhere on foot. If you overdo it and have "too far to walk back" taxis are cheap.
