Great hotel. Very friendly staff on arrival and throughout our stay. Our room and bathroom were huge. You get complimentary sweets in your room along with a proper coffee machine. Only a 10min walk from Monastiraki Square and Hadrian's library. Bar on the first floor which was handy. As for breakfast, my god... Fantastic. So many choices and all great food. A nice selection too for my partner who is vegetarian. You even had the choice of homemade granola bars. Excellent place... keep up the great work
