Stellar experience in every way!
Hands down the nicest place I’ve stayed over the course of multiple overnight stays in Athens. From the location, to the rooms, to the staff, to the complimentary breakfast - everything about this place is off the charts perfect. Will gladly stay there again should the need arise.

This was one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. I couldn’t take enough photos of the beautiful decor. The room and hotel had everything you needed and a detail wasn’t missed. I wish they had had an option of a less full/puffy pillow as all were really big and hard to sleep on. If you like a thin pillow-might want to pack it. Hotel parking was piece of cake and location was excellent. I love this place and would be thrilled to stay there again.

I’m 51 years old and have travelled extensively staying in countless hotels around the world. I’m super picky. This hotel was hands down the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I feel like I’ve stumbled onto a hidden gem. My daughter is at UGA and we are so excited to have found it. The rooms, the service, the extra special touches. Everything. In a league of its own. It looks WAY better in person than the website.
