Mixed Feelings About This Hotel
limited space poor insulation
The rooftop restaurant provided a great view.
My room was quite small, i struggled to open my suitcase fully without it hitting the bed. The space was really limited. There was also excessive noise from the rooftop bar on one night, it sounded like the party was happening INSIDE my room. The noise insulation seems quite poor, i could hear conversations from two floors above.

rooftop bar excellent view luggage scale
The hotel features a rooftop bar with food. I noted an excellent view of the Acropolis from there. The hotel packed my breakfast at 5:00 AM as I had an early ferry. My taxi waited in front of the hotel for my 7:00 AM departure to Mykonos. The location is really good near many attractions. I could visit restaurants and shops on foot. I found a luggage scale very helpful on the ground floor.
The room design was dark.

poor soundproofing uninspiring view
I had a few gripes . The soundproofing was clearly an afterthought. Every noise from the hallway echoed into the room. It made relaxing a challenge. the so-called city view was a bit of a joke. I mostly saw an uninspiring back alley. I really hoped for something better than a brick wall. Perhaps I should have requested the wall view room instead.
