“This is a contemporary hotel that places you in the heart of historic Athens, with the Metaxourgeio Metro station steps away for easy access to the Acropolis and other central attractions. I appreciate the rooftop bar; it's a striking feature, providing open-air dining and panoramic views. While some aspects require attention, the inclusion of kitchenettes and access to Wyndham Grand amenities represent real advantages.”

some issues, mediocre experience

visible mold small pool

The cleanliness was definitely an issue i noticed. there was visible mold and limescale in the bathroom. It significantly affected the overall impression. the pool was small and more for relaxation. It wasn't suitable for swimming so i was a bit disappointed. i thought they could have done a better job maintaining basic hygiene.

i was charmed by the efficient early check-in. the room was really spacious, it also featured tea and coffee facilities. i appreciated the access to the rooftop pool!

The room felt somewhat tired. The wallpaper needed some attention. the shower also caused some flooding in the bathroom, and this proved to be an issue throughout my stay.
