"A value choice for travelers who want to be in the midst of everything -- it's a five-minute walk to the nightlife of Psirri, Monastiraki, and Plaka." Full review

A popular nightlife spot for non-hotel guests, it also also adds noise.
Fodor's "A restored 1960s building with minimalist rooms with wood floors and all the modern amenities (including both air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi)." Full review

About a dozen rooms look toward the Acropolis: ask for Rooms 401–405 for the best views.
Lonely Planet "This sleek modernised hotel offers an attractive combination of contemporary style and an old-fashioned welcome. ... The rooms are attractive, with big comfortable beds." Full review

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.
Star Service "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." Full review

"Rooms are compact and basic in style, but comfortable and modern enough for tourists looking for a pleasant place to sleep... many have private balconies." Full review
