This hotel is a great value for the money. It's one of Europe's grand hotels and definitely worth staying in while in Athens. The staff are very friendly... and helpful and the concierge is great with maps, suggestions, etc. Definitely special are the beautiful first class indoor pool and spa (with five different aromatherapy steam rooms and saunas) which are free to use for hotel guests -- give yourself at least an hour to experience it all. The roof top pool (with bar service) is nice (but a little dated) and is a perfect way to cool off after sight seeing all day in the Athens heat. The rooms are decorated in a very ornate traditional style and are American sized, with large marble bathrooms -- all in very good condition. Definitely one of the best hotels I have stayed in -- in Athens or elsewhere in the world. The location is perfect -- walking distance to the Acropolis and all major sights. It's also located in probably the cleanest, nicest section of Athens and I felt reasonably safe in the neighborhood. The hotel is across the street from the Greek Parliament and Syntagma square, so it's possible there could be demonstrations in the square as I have read about in the papers, but we did not witness any. I definitely, without doubt, will stay at the hotel again when I am in Athens next. Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Aug 29, 2012
