We really wanted to stay here, but they've just notified us that they're closing their doors. We had to cancel our room for our September trip. This is very disappointing as we'd heard good things about the hotel, location and everything. Hopefully it's not too late to book elsewhere.

Convenient location with amazing kind courteous and professional staff that left a free bottle of wine to help us relax from our long journey. A wonderful bed in a nice room with an authentic atmosphere. However the wonderful rooftop breakfast below the Acropolis was the priceless! I love this place!

Great location, Acropolis and Old Town with many more archeological sites in walking distance. View on Hadrian's gate 100 m down the road, and on the Acropolis up the road. Very friendly staff. Very nice breakfast on the roof terrace. Will come again!

This lovely little hotel really couldn’t be better placed for the Acropolis, Parthenon and other main sights. It has possibly the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered. Single room was a great price, confortable, clean and well-equipped although lacked a bedroom lamp, which would have been welcome. Good breakfast with, again, really helpful staff and items cooked fresh to order. Just one small thing prevented a 5 star rating in terms of value. The nature of the characterful old building - more of an apartment block than a hotel - means it is not well sound-proofed. Floors are wooden - beautiful but noisy - and hallways echo a lot. I had a poor night’s sleep when I first arrived but discovered the complimentary earplugs on the second night and slept soundly. This certainly wouldn’t prevent me from returning but is worth knowing in advance. I think it’s a measure of their care for their guests that they acknowledge the issue and supply the earplugs.
