good selection friendly staff helpful staff bottled water room lighting

The breakfast had a good selection and quality. The location is perfect for sightseeing (i really think so) with restaurants and tourist attractions within walking distance. The acropolis is a short walk from here. I found the staff very helpful and friendly.

The hotel did not refresh bottled water in the room daily (it's a small thing, but i noticed). The room lighting was not good. It was too light with main lights and too dark with bedside lights. The shower leaked all over the floor. The glass door did not fit properly.
