An amazing stay. Everything was perfect!! Special thanks to the manager who addressed all of my concerns and made sure my requests were attended to. The staff was well trained and very helpful. Location was just perfect. Literally minutes from all main sites. Blackout curtains, soundproofing and step-out window were my favourite features in the room. Breakfast was amazing and you can enjoy a view of the Acropolis while eating. Definitely going there again!!

I went with my partner for dinner at this fine restaurant to celebrate the last night of our holiday in Athens. We've could not wish for anything better than this restaurant. The food was magnificent and the service was top-notch. In my opinion the best possible place to end your holiday with great food, OUTSTANDING wine while you face the Acropolis at night.
