Balanced stay experience

great location friendly staff breakfast views small lifts uncomfortable mattress street noise
The hotel had a great location near many attractions. It was a very short walk to the Acropolis. I also found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The breakfast views were a definite plus (I especially liked the Parthenon views).
The lifts felt too small for the number of guests. I found the mattress and pillows quite uncomfortable. There was also noise from the street. It impacted my sleep. (The hotel is on a busy road.)
