Overall the hotel was nice, it was on the smaller side. They don't have face towels, which annoyed me, we had to use hand towels to wash our bodies. The area around the hotel is really ran down. Not aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

This hotel was really nice and super close to sights like the Acropolis and Museums. It is close to many food options, everything you need is in walking distance. The laundry facilities offered at the Hotel are outrageously expensive, but there is a laundry mat down the street. One thing to keep in mind, this hotel is not really in the safest area. Nights are noisy and there is crime. The hotel itself is nice and feels safe, just don't go out at night.
