Brilliant family stay

Couldn't have asked for more for our stay in central Athens with the children. They were so accommodating and lovely. They even opened breakfast early for us to make our taxi transfer to the ferry. Children loved the pool! We just used it to sleep at night and were out all day.

The hotel is perfect for visiting Lycenbettus Hill, and the surrounding neighbourhood had some great restaurant options (check out Frankie’s!). The room was okay, but there were some signs of wear and our door looked to have been forced open during a previous stay, which meant the automatic digital lock didn’t work. Thankfully the receptionist gave us a key instead. The pool was a great bonus, but a little worse for wear in places.
