Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness score below average — The guest rating for rooms and cleanliness is 7 out of 10, slightly below the hotel's overall rating and the area average of 8.8, suggesting some rooms may feel dated or vary in upkeep.
- Breakfast ends on time — One reviewer advises not to arrive too late for the buffet, as it finishes at the scheduled time — an early cut-off could catch late risers out.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- No on-site parking mentioned — Parking is not listed among the hotel's amenities, and the input does not indicate any parking facilities, which could be a challenge for guests driving in central Athens.
