"What was once an undistinguished... hotel from the '70s has morphed into one of the coolest and most stylish designer hotels in the city." Full review
"You will either love or hate this startling ‘design’ hotel, with its lollipop colour scheme of panels everywhere from reception to the balconies."
"The value is not to be sneezed at. Especially if you're cool enough to take advantage of the scene-y rooftop pool and Air Lounge Roof Bar."
"Reveling in minimalist glam, this attractive boutique hotel has relaxing and expertly decorated rooms, a plugged-in staff, and two restaurants that feature nouvelle-Mediterranean cuisine." Full review
"Fresh is quickly becoming a jet-set hangout thanks to the rooftop pool with views of the Acropolis and the nouvelle Greek cuisine at Orange Bar." Full review
"The closest design hotel to the town centre, Fresh combines minimalist chic with shockingly vibrant colours, right down to the balcony partitions."
"Glossy, high-end hotel in the heart of the market area. Lavish use of colour, elegant furnishings and great lighting and bathrooms, though you do wonder how long it will stay looking fresh."
"Around the corner from Kotzia Square and the central food market hall, 300 meters from the Omonia metro station, this is one of the city's most notable recent arrivals." Full review
