“The breakfast was more than adequate to cater for a variety of tastes and appetites. Use of the premier lounge was a bonus and most appreciated after touring around Athens. Staff in the lounge and throughout the hotel were friendly and helpful.”

“The hotel room was spacious, with 3 single beds, a sofa, and a table. The staff were very friendly, and I was literally only able to eat 10% of the breakfast; there was such variety. I get a freshly made omelet every morning.”
