About a dozen rooms look toward the Acropolis: ask for Rooms 401–405 for the best views.

"This sleek modernised hotel offers an attractive combination of contemporary style and an old-fashioned welcome. ... The rooms are attractive, with big comfortable beds."

The only issue is traffic noise from busy Syngrou; you're better off as high as possible, and on the front (Falirou St) side of the hotel if you're a light sleeper.

"In an excellent central location, walking distance to the Acropolis (10 minutes on foot) and a variety of good cafes and bustling but pleasant shopping streets, this is an older staple with a new look."

There are no suites or connecting rooms here, and the best rooms to request are those recently renovated or the panoramic Acropolis Double rooms with small scenic balconies.
