    Very nicely appointed rooms, very clean and modern, even a nice balcony. Modern shower. Everything spotless. Good location near Archeology museum, everything within walking distance. Charis was very attentive and available at all times via WhatsApp for any issue. Bonus hint: if you're renting a car, no need to avail yourself of the parking garage at 10€ a day — I managed quite easily to find parking spots on the street. Rooms are cleaned every 2 days but this is just fine

    Beautiful space for two people - light & airy, spotlessly clean, in a lovely location in a quiet neighbourhood near the seafront, with shops & tavernas all nearby and the centre of Athens a short tram or taxi ride away. Really lovely owner who went out of his way to help us. Will definitely stay here again next time we come to Athens - so much nicer (and cheaper) than staying in a hotel!

    Well it’s a very small hotel not very clean it has a decent breakfast, and it’s very affordable it’s solid for a one night stay when you are visiting for the purposes of concerts or for business it’s not comfortable for a longer stay, and it’s very cheap great location, a bit scary street though but okay. So to sum up good when you’re looking for a cheap place to stay for a quick visit.

    This hotel is fairly new and modern. It markets itself as a trendy, boutique luxury hotel but the interior, although stylish, feels rather cheap and low-end. The materials, like the carpets and wall decorations, are new and fresh, just not high quality and certainly not on the "luxury" level. It is more like a budget hotel trying very hard to look hip and trendy. However, it is very clean, has a nice staff, and is in a great location.
