4/5Great stay in central Athens1 Jul 26

We had a two night before a yacht cruise. Slightly worried about the mixed reviews but we really enjoyed our stay especially as we were upgraded to a large spacious room with a view.

3/5If you’re looking for good AC, you better confirm it works1 Jul 26

They stopped working almost every day or every second day, which meant constantly going back to reception to have them reactivated. After a while, it became really frustrating. The service at re…
