Lovely clean hotel. Our room was great the first night but we had a lot of noise from the building next door the next night - reception staff moved us to another room as soon as we complained. The reception staff were wonderful - really helpful and kind - made us a lovely cup of tea too. Argiri was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely stay again and it was only a five minute walk to the base of the Acropolis.

This hotel was so much more than we expected.

Location was excellent, within easy reach of the subway and buses and the hotel itself was clean, welcoming and funky! The staff were very friendly and helpful, Olga and Argiro were exceptional, they couldn't do enough for us :o) The breakfast was very nice, lots of choices and the views of the Acropolis from the higher floors was stunning!

The fruit market was full of hustle and bustle during the day, but it didn't bother us at all. The fresh fruit was lovely. Some other reviews mention it not being safe at night, but I think that it is reflective of Athens as a whole and not particular to the geographical location of the hotel.
We didn't go out in the evenings anyway as it we felt it was better to be safe than sorry.

All in all, we would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be staying there again when we next travel to Athens.

21yo male travelling with 61yo mother.
Short walk from Monastiraki square and Ermou.
The entrance is almost in the markets so if you don't like the hustle and bustle of the locals' everyday lives I wouldn't stay there.
Great views from the roof and the rooms (had an unobstructed view of the Acropolis from our room).
Each floor is painted a different colour (which are generally quite vibrant).
The bathroom door closes across the doorway but not into a frame so it can't be locked and there is a slight gap between the door and the wall when it is closed.
The rooms aren't huge and there was only one chair in the room...to consider if you like sitting back and having a bite to eat or a drink and don't want to be doing that on the bed.
Decent breakfast.
Some staff were great others were less helpful.
We had no problems while we stayed there but were warned to try and avoid the area between the markets and the Omonia area.
There are places to get stuff nearby but if it's a little tricky for dinner (unless you want gyros or to go to a pricey mediocre tourist trap restaurant in Monastiraki).
Wifi was free but had to go down to reception every 24hours for a new log in (not really a big deal though).

We were so pleasently surprised with the hotel and our room on arrival. It is neat, clean and lovely. The negatives - the area outside is dirty and smelly (fruit market) and the park above the market had some very strange and eye-opening events during our stay (drugs, tramps, prostitutes etc - we were nervouse to come home at night). To be fair, I think this is Athens in general so not necessarily the area the hotel was in. We really found the staff helpful and friendly and the ancient city is within 500m, so the location was lovely.
