Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms may give the feeling of being in a shopping center food court with bright lights during dinner, and the policy of requiring two rooms for three guests seemed like a money-grab tactic. The beds were uncomfortable and the bathrooms outdated, but the friendly staff and excellent location next to the airport were definite highlights.

I must say the hotel provided an unforgettable experience. The rooms were a mix of the best shower I've ever encountered but also had a slightly musty smell, so a bit of a mixed bag there. The service was top-notch, with courteous and helpful staff, although it took a couple of days for the room to be cleaned thoroughly. The location was super convenient, just perfect for a quick stopover or to experience the beauty of Athens. The dining was a bit pricey for simple options, but the morning omelettes were a promising start. Overall, a great stay with some minor drawbacks.
