Hotel Lozenge

Hotel was in a great location. It was in a mall, so be aware that a taxi can't pull up right outside reception, there's a short walk from the road with your luggage. The staff are wonderful and nothing is too much trouble. They are always checking on you, smiling and asking how you are. Breakfast was included in our stay and while it was modest in offering, it was handy to have in the mornings. The room was spacious, beautiful big bathroom with an amazing bath. No view however we did have a balcony and could open the door for fresh air. We don't love airconditioning on all the time, so to turn that off and have fresh air in our room was amazing. Great location being surrounded by high-end boutiques (ie. Rolex, Dior, Gucci etc) and great cafes/eateries. A little supermarket down the road and two streets away is a laundromat which was really helpful! It's a block or so away from Ermou St and main tourist area which is great, it's not as noisy, and a 15-minute walk to the Plaka. Only downside - The lights outside the balcony are on each night until late and the window treatments aren't the best, so light does shine in to the room when you're trying to sleep. The bed is very soft and bouncy. It's ok when you lay flat on it, however we prefer a firmer mattress so it wasn't the most comfortable sleep.

I enjoyed visiting the cafe of this hotel. Their coffee is great, and the service they provide is exceptional. The waitress who served us, Jenny, was very professional. The cafe is located near the Syntagma Square and seems to attract the creme de la creme of Athenian society, celebrities, diplomats, businessmen etc.
