Editorial review

This hotel was renovated for the Olympics, with great results. The rooms are nice, if small, the spa is amazing, there's a combination pool/bar/restaurant on the roof deck which has breathtaking Acropolis views. The staff bends over backwards for guests. It's recommended to get a room with a view.
