“The location on Mavili Square places you close to Athens' attractions; the rooftop pool, with its beach vibe, is a surprise. I appreciate that they're trying to be eco-conscious, and the personalized services aim to make you feel welcome; however, that beach-themed pool may come at an extra cost. In my opinion, it's a solid option for those wanting a blend of city access and a resort-like feel.”
