Balanced experience at central location

good breakfastefficient staffcentral locationnoisy roomstrange smelluncomfortable mattress
The breakfast offered a good selection. The staff maintained it efficiently. I found the location to be very central for getting around. It was near restaurants and the pedestrian area.
My room was quite noisy. I was on the second floor. There was also a strange smell in the room and hallway. The mattress was not comfortable. I could feel it sinking in the middle.

Solid city stay!

I found the location to be perfectly central! Syntagma Square is just a block away, made using the metro, tram, and airport bus very easy. There were plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The area around the hotel safe area and quite clean. I appreciated that. The rooms were spacious, which I wasn't expecting.
My room faced the street. It was a bit noisy.
