My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon and had a wonderful time. We got a room with a balcony. Our balcony faced east and we got wonderful morning sun to warm us up before heading out for the day. Acropolis was visible from our balcony but only if you looked in the right direction. Would highly recommend the balcony rooms to anyone considering it. The breakfast was convenient and food was good. All of the staff spoke English. Location was just far enough from the tourist areas to be quiet but close enough to walk around the city and to nearby restaurants.

From the moment we walked in the door the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The welcome drink was very nice. The reception, restaurant and bar gave off a very trendy vibe and we loved having a drink in the evening before we headed out for food (though we did eat in the hotel restaurant on the first night and everything was delicious and good value) The air con in the room was very much appreciated as a respite from the 35+ degrees heat outside. We loved the layout and facilities in the room. The hotel is just a 10 min walk to a plethora of bars and restaurants in Psyri where we ate/drank most nights. It is an equal length walk in the other direction to the main hub of Syntagma Square as well as the Acropolis. All in all a fantastic little find and one we will definitely be recommending to friends.

Awesome big room!
This place was exactly what we needed. My son and I traveling back home from Lesvos, decided to stay one night in Athens. It had two king beds that are very comfortable and two showers along with two toilets. It was perfect.

Although the location looked a bit sketchy at first; the hotel was very modern and clean. Well-appointed room with a good shower, bathroom, and nice mattress. The Muse Bistro was a pleasant surprise with a chef-inspired menu with a great twist on classic Greek dishes. They also allowed a very unusual request by us.
