Kimkim's Take

Pros:
  • The hotel's modern industrial style is incorporates marble, cement, and brick in the spacious rooms, making for a stylish and comfortable stay.
  • The two-bedroom family room has triple bunkbeds, toys, and a balcony, so families can relax and enjoy both fun and privacy.
  • The hotel provides baby cots free of charge, and babysitting services can be arranged for parents who want a night out.
  • Several rooms have fantastic Acropolis views from peaceful balconies, where you can lay out on a lounge chair to take in the Parthenon.
  • The Decompression Room in the lobby lounge is a standout feature, with showers, lockers, changing rooms, and games available for use before or after a flight.
  • The hotel's central location is perfect for exploring Athens, with Monastiraki Square and the Flea Market just a five-minute walk away and the Acropolis accessible via a 20-minute walk through Plaka or along the Dionysiou Aeropagitou pedestrian path.
Cons:
  • The hotel is located on a pedestrian street in Psyri, which may be difficult for guests with heavy luggage to access.
  • Some guests may find the industrial style of the hotel's decor to be too austere for their taste.
  • The neighborhood of Psyri is quite lively, particularly during the summer, so book a room on a higher floor to make sure you sleep comfortably.

Beautifully remodeled old building, small boutique style. As an interior designer I was not impressed with the layout of the room, felt like they were going for a cool vibe but not a practical one for travelers. The room was big enough for a much better design - disappointing. There was only one place with shelves to put clothes, so my husband used that, and my suitcase was on the floor. For 3 days not a big deal, but more than that I would not have liked it. When we arrived, it was... Read more

Beautifully remodeled old building, small boutique style. As an interior designer I was not impressed with the layout of the room, felt like they were going for a cool vibe but not a practical one for travelers. The room was big enough for a much better design - disappointing. There was only one place with shelves to put clothes, so my husband used that, and my suitcase was on the floor. For 3 days not a big deal, but more than that I would not have liked it. When we arrived, it was another guest that opened the door to let us in and they had been waiting a half hour to get some help. (They were a party of 6) Seemed alittle disjointed and the reception girl a bit frazzled, not friendly. The party of 6 were not impressed either. Overall, it was fine, loved the location, but I would not stay here if I came back.

Authenticity & Character
Missed the mark for me - authentic but room design not practical,
Location
Within a basically pedestrian area of lots of restaurants, shops, and walking distance to Acropolis and that lovely area
Staff
Upon reception, please be as friendly as you are capable - your guests have maybe just flown in from a 10 hour flight and don’t want to feel like an annoyance. NOt helpful and not that friendly.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Cleanliness excellent - the housekeeper ladies were sweet and very helpful even though they didn’t speak english. Comfort of the room needs improvement as stated above.
