I booked a twin 2 single bed room and upon arrival they placed me in a double bed room. I had to ask and get it changed. Very inconvenience when you had a long late flight. I had to call a number of times for extra towels when they knew two people were staying in the room this could be improved. No places nearby for food so a bit of a walk. Also an outdoor swimming pool which no one used. Indoor swimming pools would be better because no one want to be swimming when there is a dining restaurant nearby. No privacy in the swimming pool and it looked closed.

Convenient location of the hotel to city center and Acropolis. The room was great and beds were super comfortable. The breakfast quality was very average and the staff didn't seem very engaged. The bell captain and staff were super friendly & made arrival/departure smooth.
