Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was just incredible! The rooms, with views out of the back, are beautifully appointed and surprisingly spacious given its location. I adored the espresso machine and the lovely treats we received both upon arrival and when returning to the room in the evening, which added such a welcoming touch. The huge balcony overlooking the streets was a definite highlight. The service was top-notch and the location in the heart of downtown Thessaloniki couldn't be better. The dining experience was authentically Greek and very fresh, though a bit limited in breakfast options. Definitely a wonderful stay overall.
The hotel is located in the heart of Thessaloniki, close to all amenities and vibrant dining spots. The rooms are beautifully designed and clean. The service, especially from Maria and Henry at reception, was extremely helpful and attentive. The dining experience offers excellent quality and variety of authentic Greek cuisine. However, there are some limitations in terms of facilities.
The hotel offers bright, modern rooms with some space constraints due to traffic noise but provides all necessary comforts. The service is fantastic, going above and beyond to assist guests. The central location is great for exploring, though it can be a bit noisy at times. Dining at the rooftop garden is outstanding, despite minor inconsistencies. Facilities are modern and well-maintained.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were lovely and clean, well-appointed, and quiet. The service was top-notch, with staff constantly trying to be helpful and charming. The location was excellent, within walking distance of all major attractions in Thessaloniki. The dining experience was good, although with limited choices. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel had well-equipped and very clean rooms, but the small bathroom and issues like an old TV and torn curtains were a downside. Sleeping was difficult due to outside lights. The service was polite and attentive, with staff always willing to assist. The exceptional city center location made it easy to explore historic sites and enjoy an unbeatable view. The dining experience was excellent, boosting energy with local dishes. Overall, a great place to stay with some minor room issues.
The hotel offers nice, well-appointed rooms with a floor to ceiling glass-enclosed shower on one side. While the rooms are arguably small, they are better equipped than in most 5-star hotels. The service was amazing, with a knowledgeable and friendly staff that went the extra mile to assist with luggage. The location is the absolute advantage of this hotel, perfect for exploring the old town and within walking distance of major attractions. The dining experience provides a variety of options, though it could have more vegetable choices. The hotel facilities are well-maintained with a focus on cleanliness and comfort.
