Myself & my partner stayed here for a week on a bed & breakfast basis, booked via Jet2. As it was my partners birthday, we were upgraded to a larger room with complimentary fruit & prossecco. However, as the room was on the 1st floor (107) we found it rather dark & we asked to be moved, which after one night we were, to room 506, which although smaller offered more light & a better view. The rooms do lack some storage space, but are clean with comfortable beds & pillows & nice showers. The blinds, lighting, heating & air con are all worked via a tablet, which did go wrong once, but was quickly repaired. The breakfast has something to suit most tastes, including freshly squeezed orange juice & tasty coffee. The hotel also has a rooftop area where you can relax with a view of the Acropolis. The area that the hotel is in could be better, as you may see beggars & drug addicts, however we didn't experience any problems from them. It is very handy for Omonoia Metro Station & this is where we encountered our big holiday problem, in that I had my wallet stolen when on the escalator leaving the station. I won't go into all the details, just to say that if you do choose to travel on the Metro, do so with extreme caution. Apparently, there are organised gangs of Eastern Europeans that are travelling on the trains & located at the stations & there are many many stories of tourists being robbed. The Police presence is virtually invisible, both on the trains & at the stations & there is also a lack of cctv. The Police don't seem overly concerned when you report the crime & just get you to fill in a form & give you a crime number. It is a MAJOR PROBLEM that needs sorting. The hotel staff could not have been kinder & more helpful, including ordering our taxi to the Police station, giving us complimentary drinks, fruit & chocolates & generally going the extra mile to help us. So finally, a big big shout & thumbs up to Panayiotie the brilliant barman & Villy & Melina the lovely receptionists. We love you all & you're a credit to the company.
