The hotel's location is excellent, in the center of the city, making it easy to access all main sights. The rooms are renovated and perfectly located, with all the necessary facilities, although some had issues with electricity that needed fixing by a technician. The service is exceptional, particularly thanks to Efi. The dining options are limited but tasty, offering Greek specialties. Overall, a great spot for exploring the city.

I found the hotel to be a mixed bag - the rooms I had pre-allocated were very good, clean, and comfortable, although small and packed, which was a bit disappointing. The service, however, was a real strength, with the staff being very welcoming and helpful at all times. The dining experience made me feel really good with a sufficient selection, and the facilities were satisfactory considering this is a small hotel for a city trip.

I stayed at the Phidias hotel and found it to be a convenient choice, although with some ups and downs. The rooms were small but still practical, and mine had a window with a nice view of the Acropolis. The service was a bit mixed, as they canceled my room last minute but transferred me to another hotel. The location was perfect, especially for exploring the historical part of Athens. The dining options were limited but satisfactory, and the facilities were decent.
