Near Syntagma Square, home to the Greek Parliament, Athens’ most expensive residential quarter is the domain of wealthy Greeks and foreign embassy staff. Glamorous socialites frequent the fashionable bar-restaurants, chic boutiques and designer stores.

Great hotel, great price, it's in a desirable neighborhood, close enough to the Acropolis and other sights. I'd highly recommend!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hotel with an incredible view of Athens"
The hotel has a beautiful ambience and the location is amazing, with views of the Acropolis. Staff were pleasant & helpful and the breakfast was very good. The main difficulty of this hotel is the design of the room. There was little storage - despite having cabinets bedside and for the TV, none of these opened to use for storage. Also, the bathroom […] design was not comfortable - not a full shower closure but a half-glass door and the lighting over the vanity was harsh and uncomfortable. These features would not outweigh the location and ambience of the hotel, but they were annoying. Although at first it seemed that the hotel was a bit out of the way, we discovered that it was actually pretty convenient to many Athens neighborhoods and sites. But it is up on the hill, so if someone doesn't like to walk uphill, it could be a problem, although taxis were readily available. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel with an expensive view."
The hotel is very nice with numerous amenities expected at a 5-star hotel, and the staff at the hotel were fabulous - they went out of their way several times to help us. However, the rooms are very small and the furniture in the rooms appear to have been purchased based on appearance and were not functional in these small rooms. We had to move furniture […] around several times to get through the room and/or open the door to the balcony. We paid extra for a "deluxe view room" thinking we would have a view of the Acroplis, but instead had a vew of the construction site next door. The Acropolis view room was even more money, but that wasn't clear at the time I booked the reservation. The view from the roof is spectacular, but the food in the restaurant was very expensive. My parents had breakfast one day at $22 euros each #almost $60 American#. Also, they closed the pool deck #top floor# before sunset so you couldn't go up there for the night view. Although the hotel is close to City Center, is is on the side of a hill so walking to the City Center is easy, but the hike back up the hill is rough. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"no surprises"
As long as one doesn't mind walking up Lycabetus hill, this hotel is very conveniently located in the center of the city. Try to get the more expensive front facing rooms for great acropolis views.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Great hotel in Athens"
Our hotel stay was very pleasant. The hotel is located walking distance from the Acropolis and from several popular shopping areas. The rooms were very nice, the staff was helpful whenever we had a question, and the area was very pleasant.Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel rooms a bit small and decor a bit tired. Food good and a great position. Would stay againGenuine Expedia guest review
"5* it may not be, but definetely worth a return"
This hotel may not be truly be a 5* hotel however the location is fantastic. Roof top views of Athens and its suburbs and of course the Acropolis. Walking distance (no more than 5 minutes) to Kolonaki, which bustles with good restaurants, cafes and shops. We stayed in February, weather was spring like (for UK residents!) and the roads were lined with […] fruit bearing trees. An enchanting location and we will be returning.

"St George Lycabettus Athens"
Was pleased with the hotel's location, we were able to walk everywhere (we only took one taxi) and there were plenty of good restaurants and cafes nearby. The rooftop pool was fine - a small area but good to be able to have a dip. The room ( a superior view room) was pretty standard, quite small and the views weren't really worth it. Felt more 4star […] than 5, as with most Greek hotels. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice Hotel!"
My little brother and I needed to book a hotel right when we arrived in Greece. We saw this hotel and it was rated 5*. The hotel is on a hill and a good 15 min walk to shopping. About 5 mins to food. Take note this is on a hill so climbing back up is not exactly the best experience. The staff were friendly and we paid for an upgrade to a suite. The […] food was quite pricey so we opted for the local cuisine. The hotel is quite old but has its charm. Great stay! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok hotell i bra läge..."
Hotellet har en en helt oslagbar utsikt över Aten och Akropolis - både från restaurangdelen och från takpoolen. Nära till allt, men ta taxi! Den fina utsikten beror på det höga läget. Uppförsbacken hem är grym vid +35 grader... Vårt första rum hade en helt opraktisk layout därför att badrummet (intill sängen) bara hade en enkel glasdörr till badrummet […] utan dörram. No privacy alltså..suck. Men vi fick byta och fick ett fint rum med sidobalkong med underbar utsikt istället. Lite slitet badrum och lite för hårda sängar, men tyst läge. Bra att personalen var så lyhörd! Renligheten var bra. Det lilla takpoolsområdet var helt ok (rent och snyggt) men blir ganska trång mot eftermiddagen. Bistron var vi inte riktigt imponerade av. Maten var sådär och servicen ojämn. Tror att hotellet bytt ägare och verkar förlorat både koll och glans. Men vi fick ju ett kanonpris som motsvarade ett ordinärt fyrstjärnigt hotell.Därför kan jag rekommendera det ( men bara till rabatterat pris). Att hotellen fortfarande tar betalt för frukost ibland kan jag leva med, men att de fortfarande tar betalt för internet är ett skämt.. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Dags för en allmän uppfräschning men oslagbart läge i vackra och jämförelsevis lugna Kolonaki, vänlig personal, fantastisk utsikt och en underbar takpool.....Genuine Hotels.com guest review
