We loved how close **the hotel** was to the metro station—just a couple of minutes away. The staff were incredibly helpful, answering all our queries. The rooftop bar provided a stunning view of major sites like the Acropolis during the daily happy hour special. The neighborhood was safe and great for evening walks.
