The hotel's location is excellent, in the center of the city, making it easy to access all main sights. The rooms are renovated and perfectly located, with all the necessary facilities, although some had issues with electricity that needed fixing by a technician. The service is exceptional, particularly thanks to Efi. The dining options are limited but tasty, offering Greek specialties. Overall, a great spot for exploring the city.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was fantastic with a balcony offering a stunning view of the Acropolis. It was updated, clean, and really comfortable. The service was great, especially with the staff accommodating our early flight with a pre-packed breakfast. The location was superb, close to everything but in a peaceful area. The dining experience was delicious, although the food could have been warmer. Overall, a top-notch stay with great value for money.

I found the hotel to be a mixed bag - the rooms I had pre-allocated were very good, clean, and comfortable, although small and packed, which was a bit disappointing. The service, however, was a real strength, with the staff being very welcoming and helpful at all times. The dining experience made me feel really good with a sufficient selection, and the facilities were satisfactory considering this is a small hotel for a city trip.

I stayed at the Phidias hotel and found it to be a convenient choice, although with some ups and downs. The rooms were small but still practical, and mine had a window with a nice view of the Acropolis. The service was a bit mixed, as they canceled my room last minute but transferred me to another hotel. The location was perfect, especially for exploring the historical part of Athens. The dining options were limited but satisfactory, and the facilities were decent.
