Hi <BR>I have not stayed there for a number of years but when I did it was wonderful in every way. One thing that won't have changed for sure is the location, superb, right on Syntagma Square <BR>(Constitution Sq)

Stayed there last year. Grand old Hotel,very busy and great location.Pricy but worth it. Older hotel with lots of character.

Stayed there many years ago, had both an inside room overlooking the courtyard (like living in a villa in the countryside) and one on the outside from which we got a birds-eye view of the changing of the guard. One of my favorite hotels ever, and I'll never forget the thick hot chocolate in heavy silver pitchers for breakfast.

STAYED THERE SEPT 1998. IT IS EXPENSIVE BUT THE LOCATION IS WEEL WORTH IT. WE WALKED EVERYWHERE AND NEVER TOOK A BUS OR TAXI. EXCELLENT BUFFET FOR BREAKFAST. CALL THEM DIRECT AND ASK FOR PACKAGE DEALS. I FOUND THAT TO BE CHEAPER THAN WHAT A TRAVEL AGENT COULD DO. WE PAID $209.00 FOR THE FIRST 3 NIGHTS THEN $259 FOR ONE NIGHT AND THE BREAKFAST BUUFET WAS INCLUDED ALL FOUR DAYS. ENJOY!!!!

Stayed there twice about ten years ago. The first time we stayed there, we had a room in the back of the hotel facing the street. I was a bit disappointed in the room. The second time we stayed there, we had a lovely room on the inside with a courtyard view. The bathroom was enormous. The staff was friendly and the location was great.
