Kalamaki Vacations from ￥155,904

The staff were excellent, the food was very good and the view from the rooftop to the Acropolis can’t be beat. The hotel however is in an a depressed area of the city. It was only a 20 minute walk to the Plaka and Acropolis area but you have to walk through the area that is depressed. That is not the fault of the hotel but it is something to take note of for families.

Socrates, the staff manager, is the highlight of this hotel. He offered us a complimentary room upgrade and took the time to provide us useful tour information and advice about visiting the islands. The hotel is very clean. The breakfast was good, but perhaps not quite a four star level breakfast. The hotel owners might consider dropping the advertisement of the rooms having balconies as they are tiny, useful mostly for hanging clothes to dry and with a view toward other buildings where others are likewise hanging their clothes to dry. Our travel mates stayed in another room and were equally impressed with Socrates; they had no interest in having a balcony with a view and so it did not bother them. Some reviewers said that the rooms are not sound proofed and that road noise makes it hard to sleep. We heard nothing and slept soundly. The airport shuttle service was reasonably priced and professional. We stayed on floor 3 and our travel mates were on floor 4.

The service was 5-star! Anastasia ensured everything was taken care of. She was like a personal valet, watching out for us, giving us recommendations, making sure breakfast was exactly how we wanted, coordinating to be sure our minor maintenance issue (a lightbulb was out) was fixed immediately. The staff carried our luggage up.and down the stairs so we didn't have to. Top notch!

There was an insect by the bed and I woke up with multiple bites. The surface area of the bathroom was dirty and when I asked to clean it the response was this is the design of the stone, the glass rings are part of it! The gym was small with a major water leak from ceiling. Most staffs were polite and tried to be helpful but the one who answered reception calls need training.

Great Staff, located in the heart of the city. Very accessible to all the locations
