I stayed in room 327. It was a good size and very comfortable. The hotel's location is very central and convenient. The rooftop bar has a great view of the Acropolis, and is a great breakfast place. The breakfast buffet was excellent - some tasty options.

Our luggage was brought to our room and the gentlemen t...
