central location rooftop bar excellent breakfast small shower dated shower curtain paper cup

The location was wonderful. it was so close to everything i wanted to see. the roof terrace bar was a total delight. Even on a rainy evening, the floodlit acropolis under a canopy was magical. the breakfasts were excellent too, i could not fault them.

The shower was quite small. The shower head didn't work properly. it seemed to point out of the cubicle, and the dated shower curtain just couldn't keep the water in. the bathroom was very small. there were only paper cups in the room.

a PERFECT stay

friendly staff perfect location secure luggage

The staff was SUPER friendly and helpful. They stored my luggage securely while i explored nearby islands. The location is perfect. It is right in the centre of everything. It is a short walk to the train station.

The bathroom door was made of a semi-transparent material. It let light in from the bathroom window. I found this design affected darkness levels at night, and i had to wear a mask.
