"I stayed here recently and the main issue is that it simply doesn’t offer good value for money. There are much better and cheaper options in Athens.
The biggest problem was the beds. The mattresses were very uncomfortable — you can feel the springs, and even after changing beds it didn’t improve. For the price, this is not acceptable.
The breakfast is definitely not worth €6. It’s extremely basic: cheap sliced bread, low-quality ham and cheese, yogurt, cereal, a small cake, and fruit that wasn’t fresh (some pieces were even spoiled). It feels overpriced for what you get.
The happy hour wine is also disappointing — it’s just very cheap boxed wine, which doesn’t match the expectation.
As for the staff, the cleaning staff were quite unfriendly, often not even acknowledging greetings. However, the reception team was helpful and polite, which I appreciated.
To be fair, management did offer a partial refund regarding a pricing issue, which I appreciate.
But overall, the experience does not justify the price. You can find better quality for less money in Athens."
