The hotel had very friendly service and very clean rooms. The decor is extremely modern and funky, maybe not suited to everyone's taste. But the rooms were well sized and clean so we had no complaints. The plaka and Parthenon was also close-by, within walking distance. Overall we had a very pleasant stay.

We only stayed here for 1 night before our flight back home and wished we stayed longer. The breakfast was great, the beds were super comfy, the rooms were stylish and the location was great. One of the nicest hotels we stayed in on our 6 weeks trip through Europe. The staff were also very professional and friendly.

My wife is good at finding amazing boutique hotels pretty much anywhere in the world. But she's really outdone herself this time. This boutique hotel is perfectly located in downtown Athens (in Plaka), within walking distance of pretty much everywhere you need to go if you're in Athens for pleasure. The hotel (previously known as Old Palace Hotel) was recently... More

Very beautiful designed hotel with everything you need to explore a city and recreate in the hotel after an exciting day. In the afternoon we found delicious tasting pralines on our beds. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Staying at the new hotel was a refreshing experience. Coming in you can immediately see the nice design- the hotel walls are covered with pieces of old furniture from the old hotel decoration. The staff was extremely helpful with everything we needed - attraction recommendations, places to eat, places to visit on our route through the peloponnese, etc. The room... More

What a truly amazing stay we had at your lovely hotel. We've never encountered such wonderful staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We were welcomed with fresh baked treats and water upon arrival and provided with an early check-in which was great.

I guess I didn't realize hotels still were smoking. Nowhere on the website or on tripadvisor was it apparent to me this hotel smelled like cigar smoke, all the time. It even piped through the AC. Even though both of our rooms (changed b/c of noise) were non smoking they both smelled of smoke. On that alone, for the price,... More
