Upon checking in we were offered an upgrade in a huge room with panoramic view over the Zeus temple. The room was wonderful, spacious and spotless. The same applies to the public areas that are clean and nicely decorated. The personnel was friendly and helpful.

On arrival, they already wanted payment and the receptionist swore she couldn't accept my German debit card, even though I pay with it across Europe. When I convinced the manager to try it, it of course worked. Disappointing in a 5-star hotel. Apart from that, everything as to be expected, palatial surroundings, quality breakfast buffet, nice if not overimpressive rooms.

Hotel staff efficient and friendly, rooms small. Noise from surrounding building work constant from early morning. Very close to Acropolis station and easy to find

Stayed 2 nights there before a trip to 2 Cyclades. The location is great, in a walking distance froml the Acropolis and the Plakka area. Rooms are clean. I was really disappointed at the service. No free internet access for such a price. The bed were incredibly hard and there were renovations work on the hotel starting 7.30am which made it impossibly for us to sleep longer. Would not recommend this.

No airport shuttle. Construction noise began promptly at 8 a.m. No water in swimming pool. We were there off-season, but still a bit disappointing, considering price paid. Excellent location for acropolis/surrounding sites.
