the rooftop dining area has a great view. i think they could focus on serving drinks there. the location is great, just across from the acropolis and the train station. the beds were really comfy too. it made my evenings peaceful.
the air conditioner doesnt turn on immediately. it waits about five minutes after being enabled with the room key. also it seems unable to cool below approximately 28 degrees celsius, a bit high for me.

Acceptable Location, Notable Shortcomings

The location was undeniably perfect for exploring Plaka.
The shower was quite inconvenient as it lacked a handle, so I had to hold the showerhead with one hand while trying to wash (this was really annoying).

convenient location fine view early check-in
i found the location convenient for seeing major attractions. the acropolis was a short walk away, and the rooftop restaurant offered a fine view of it. i appreciated the helpfulness of the owner, who accommodated my early arrival by offering a room well before the scheduled check-in time (this was really kind).
the breakfast had limited options, it might be better to explore nearby cafes.
