    Great hotel!

    The room was very small but very cozy. The hotel was a but dated. The food was excellent with a stunning view of the Acropolis and the location was very convenient.

    Please note: for pre-bookable transfers the drop off/pick up point is located in front of New Hotel on Fillelinon str, approx. 140m away.
