The hotel's location was perfect, close to the beach and the shopping district. The rooms, however, were outdated with dirty carpets and old furniture, making the stay less than ideal. The service was friendly and helpful, but the dining experience was nothing special.

The hotel has seen better days as the rooms desperately needed refurbishment ages ago. While they were clean, the persistent bad smell was a major downside. On the bright side, the pricing was reasonable, but the facilities were disappointingly basic, lacking even compared to budget hotels in developing countries.

The hotel is located right at the center of Glyfada, within walking distance of beautiful beaches and surrounded by numerous shops and restaurants, offering a convenient and vibrant setting. The rooms on the first floor with a balcony overlooking other apartments were pleasant, but lacking a pool view or bath/shower. The service was friendly, with skilled staff at the lobby providing great customer assistance. Despite a disappointing breakfast with limited variety, the dining options included a lovely assortment of cold dishes. Overall, the hotel stands out for its ideal location and friendly service, with room for improvement in the dining experience.

The hotel offers a very good and spacious room, though the furniture and overall decor could use some updating to match the lobby's style. The service was friendly and helpful but had some issues with overzealous staff members. The location is conveniently close to Glyfada with easy access to shops, bars, and the beach. The dining experience was a mix of tasty dishes but with a lack of variety, especially at breakfast. Overall, the facilities need some improvements, and the ongoing renovation might affect the quality of the stay.

The hotel is located on the main road, offering clean rooms; however, the air conditioning was stuck on a high temperature, making it noisy at times. The staff were kind and helpful with booking services like car rentals and taxis, but the triple room was below expectations. The location is convenient and near a lively shopping area, ideal for visitors exploring Glyfada. The dining experience was good, though there were some delays with breakfast. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
