Reviews and Ratings
The hotel stands out with spacious and amenity-filled rooms, though the room rate might seem high. The Atrium location could be a downside, making maneuvering challenging. The friendly service and good quality restaurant are clear positives.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of upsides and downsides. The rooms were not soundproofed, so I could hear every word from neighboring rooms, but they were bright, cozy, had a very comfortable bed, and offered a fantastic view of the Acropolis and the city of Athens. The service was warm and welcoming, except for some minor issues with pricing communication. The location was very convenient, with excellent views and close proximity to the main attractions of Athens. The dining experience was wonderful with a great indoor/outdoor view, although it could use some improvement. Overall, the hotel provided a memorable experience despite a few hiccups.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room, though with a wonderful view, was not as bright as expected and needed a remodel, plus it had very little natural light. The service was pleasant and accommodating, especially at the reception desk. The location, though quiet with nice vibes and great restaurants nearby, was away from major attractions. The dining experience, while a bit pricey, was impeccable. The facilities were good overall.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were equipped with every necessity and had excellent lighting, which is rare in most Greek hotels, but they were a little small. However, the lovely terrace with views of the city and Acropolis was a plus. The hotel itself was a bit disappointing in comparison. The service was friendly but had some miscommunications regarding discounts. The location is fantastic, especially for those who appreciate great views, yet it may not be suitable for those who struggle with stairs. The dining experience was less than average. Overall, the stay had its highlights and drawbacks.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although not soundproof, were very clean, and the highlight was the amazing breakfast served on the 6th floor with a breathtaking view of the Acropolis. Unfortunately, the overpowering air freshener on my first day was a downside.
The hotel offers excellent and comfortable rooms that could benefit from a little renovation. The service is friendly and efficient, though a bit slow in some areas. The location is perfect for its quiet and safe surroundings, despite the steep hill. The dining experience is decent with good variety but slightly overpriced. The facilities are adequate but could be improved considering the price point.
I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms around the 20s are very good and comfortable, perfect for a family with kids. However, the room I had felt a bit small. The service was unfailingly friendly and polite, with excellent recommendations for nearby dining options. The staff was most accommodating, and the food served was tasty. The location offered amazing views but required some effort due to being on a hill. The dining experience, despite the awesome city view, turned into a disaster as the staff seemed inattentive and unapproachable. The facilities were satisfactory, though nothing extraordinary.
