Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of key city attractions and offers a quiet stay despite facing a busy street. While the room size is small and the air conditioning may not be sufficient for warmer temperatures, the opportunity to explore the city by foot from the hotel is a major advantage.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were done in a shabby chic style with plenty of storage but had old furniture and a broken bathroom. The view was of the cityscape and the Thermaic Gulf with seagulls commuting between both. The service was polite and helpful, with some issues regarding a potential overcharge initially. The location was excellent, close to major attractions and the city center, albeit a bit spooky. The dining experience was below average, not the highlight of my stay.
This hotel is a gem in the heart of Thessaloniki, close to Ladadika and just a stone's throw away from the lively Aristotelous Square and market. The rooms are spacious, and the AC works wonders, perfect for those hot summer days. Although a faint hint of cigarettes was noticeable, the room was overall comfortable. The service was accommodating, allowing us extra parking hours, even if there was a bit of confusion over breakfast inclusion at first. The location is prime, surrounded by restaurants and shops, although the graffiti around was a downside. The dining options were decent, suitable for a 3-star hotel with fair pricing. A solid spot for exploring this vibrant city.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The room, though a bit noisy due to external factors, was charmingly designed with plenty of storage space, suitable for a short stay. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff offering recommendations and ensuring safety measures were followed diligently. The location was convenient for exploring the vibrant city center and airport access, but was situated on a busy boulevard. The dining options were good but paid separately. Overall, a mixed experience with highlights in service and central accessibility.
The hotel offers a blend of old charm and modern touches with a nice view from the spacious rooms. The service is impeccable, though there was a small misunderstanding about breakfast. The location is convenient for exploring the city without the need for a car.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, done out in a shabby chic style with plenty of storage, were seriously the best but being on the 8th floor facing a busy road made it noisy due to traffic. However, the hotel was quiet overall. The service was very helpful and friendly, especially when my luggage was delayed by Lufthansa; they even accommodated my pet with a deposit. The location was great, just 100 meters away from the airport bus line station and close to the lively Ladadika neighborhood. The dining experience was hit-or-miss, with a poor choice of cold foods compared to the past, and the paid breakfast was ordered separately. Facilities were generally good, but not exceptional.
