8.1Verified guest“The food and service were excellent, and the buffet was great value – our two kids ate for free.”
8.1Verified guest“Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the breakfast was good.”
8.1Verified guest“Great location near the beach and marinas, with friendly staff eager to help. The tram and bus stops are close by; Glyfada is a 20-minute walk or a quick tram ride for €1.20. The tram fare is flat, so it's the same price to reach Syntagma Square. We only had breakfast at the hotel, which was lovely with lots of variety. Poolside snacks were also good. The only downside was our room faced the dual carriageway, so traffic noise at night made it hard to sleep.”
8.1Verified guest“Friendly staff, good location, clean atmosphere, nice beach and pool, and spacious rooms.”
8.1Verified guest“The staff were accommodating, even checking us in early for our tired child. Beach access was easy, and the pool area was well-maintained.”
8.1Verified guest“Nice swimming pool with style. The tram to Athens is very close by.”
