The perfect spot!

A wonderful hotel 3 minutes from two different subway stations. They were in the middle of renovation whe we stayed (January) but the restaurant, bar, and pool were all top notch. The staff were amazing and very well informed about the sights around Athens. I feel like we got our own customised tour guide! Our rooms had a view of the Acropolis, and the rooftop patio had an even better one! Definitely a gem and a bargin!

We stayed in this hotel for four nights. It is close to two metro stations. The breakfast was excellent, very nice offer and pleasant staff. The hotel itself is pretty “outdated”, with heavy room keys and old and small elevator. Room was not so spacious for family room. Not so safe neighbourghood.

4 stars? Nop...3 or 2.5.

Avoid to stay here if you are looking for a 4 starred hotel. 3 or 2.5 but 4? No way. Poor maintenance. Oldfashioned. Misleading photos. Commuting ok, Larissa central station and also metro station, both, to walking distance.

We're from Japan. We're not good at English conversation, but they explained things to us many times. We decided on this hotel because we were joining a tour to Meteora early the next morning, it was about a 5 minute walk from the meeting place in front of the station. I chose the superior room after looking at the photos on Expedia. The triple room had two bedrooms and a modern bathroom.There is a Gregory's Coffee and a convenience store nearby. Gregory's Coffee is located in a gas station and you can buy water and snacks there. One thing to note is that if you want your room to be cleaned, you have to press a button. I didn't press it, so no one came in. However, I called to request towels, and they were brought right away! I couldn't find the Wi-Fi password for each room either (the staff confirmed it), but they gave me a different password. The rooftop bar with a view of the Acropolis was under construction and we couldn't get in. The breakfast was ample and especially the potatoes, baked cake and fried eggs were delicious!!
