Solid stay near Plaka

clean hotelhelpful staffsuperb viewdaily service
The hotel location is near Ermou street. It is the main shopping street. The hotel was super clean and everyone was helpful. I think the breakfast has a view of the Acropolis. It has features common to other hotels though. The rooms are serviced twice daily. Breakfast and dinner had good food and superb views of the Acropolis.
The rooms needs updating. Its style and colors seem very old fashioned to me. I was hoping for something more modern.

Both indoor and outdoor pools give guests options. You can relax after a day of sightseeing. The rooftop has unobstructed views of the Acropolis. The rooftop transforms into a dining spot in the evening.
