Amazing place. The only thing missing for me is a fitness centre.

Pros: -Friendly service. -Amazing breakfast included. -Gorgeous design, romantic, appreciate the concept behind what they’re doing. -Rooftop bar with view of the acropolis. -Location walking distance to acropolis. Cons: -Paper thin walls!! Noisy! We were placed in room 1 which is right above the “reception” area. It was loud all night to the point where I had to contact reception at 3am due to noisy guests/employees in the lobby that we could clearly hear from our room and which woke me up from sleep. Around 6am again, the noise started as guests started flopping their shoes down the stairs, speaking loudly, and slamming doors. -Poor air conditioning (and none in the shared spaces). -Bath tub drain did not work so I had to shower which left a pool of water all over the floor (no curtain). I booked this place because of the large bathtub. -Location though safe, is located in a graffiti ridden area that reeks of urine.

It's stylish, breakfast is actually inventive and great, reception feels a bit improvised yet friendly but most importantly: Read the fine print when booking. Our room came with an open toilet which is hilariously sold to you as "sensual". This information is listed as an "amenity" Bathroom and toilet are separated by just partial curtains that we could never quite close all the way, so if you stand or sit in the impractical shower the neighbors across the narrow street may just be part of that "sensuality". Interesting for some, but not what I expected at this price point.
