“While this property aims for a luxury experience with its rooftop views and modern amenities, some aspects require attention. The hotel feels family-run, which brings warmth, but areas are visibly worn. Its central location near attractions like the Acropolis is a real advantage, yet the surrounding neighborhood's safety should be considered.”
