Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Area lacks beauty — The immediate neighborhood is not the most attractive part of Athens, though guests note it feels safe.
- Some rooms are small — Guests looking for lots of space may find the rooms on the compact side, though they are still comfortable.
- Older carpets — A recurring detail is that carpets in some rooms show their age, which might not suit those with allergies or who prefer no carpet.
- Modest rating for the price — With a guest rating of 7.0 and a price from £27, the hotel offers a budget option, but the experience may be more utilitarian than luxurious.

Set in a nice enough area close to the subway and Athens' train station, Metaxourghio tube station and the Acropolis.”
