Perfect for a one or two night stop. Kypseli is a bit down at heel as a district, but it's safe and there are excellent eating opportunities at St George's Square. 12 minutes walk from Viktoria Metro, so you can get to the airport in about 90 minutes with a change at Monasteraki.
Rooms are simple, functional and clean. Bed is super comfortable, especially if you prefer a soft mattress. Everything is pin code operated for access after 9 pm so can't comment on staff.
Very good value.
ゲゲストHighlights: beautiful views of acropolis and surrounding area from rooftop bar/restaurant space (also where breakfast served), buffet of good standard and restaurant staff very polite and a credit to the hotel.
Improvements: reception staff generally very helpful but one particular staff member was not forthcoming with information/recommendations for restaurants/ details regarding late check out - we were always referred to come back later/following day to reception to ask someone else; when same questions asked later to a different member of staff, they were more than happy to help with all enquiries.
Room: no ‘do not disturb’ sign available, housekeeping knocked on room at 9am every day, which woke us up; also housekeeping entering room after knocking on door without waiting for guests to respond; need some adjustments to respect privacy or guests; hotel corridors are very stuffy even in winter time
Overall: a very pleasant stay
