雅典戴蒙德普拉斯酒店 - 雅典 Athens Diamond Plus

Excellent value in the heart of historic Athens

Celebrating a big anniversary with 2 days in Athens before a Mediterranean cruise in July 2016. This was the perfect place to stay and see the city. 50 Euro flat fee for taxi from the airport. 40 Euro taxi fee to the cruise terminal from hotel. Taxi stand was just 25 meters from front door with at least 10 taxis waiting for fares. The hotel was also a short walk to public transit and the Acropolis complex of historic museums and grounds. Restaurants, coffee shops, bars and shopping are all around you. Very safe neighborhood. The breakfast offered an excellent variety of hot and cold meats, eggs, cheeses, pastries, fruit. Fresh squeezed orange juice was excellent. Loved the stylish decor in our room, halls and elevators. Linens were very nice. Friendly helpful staff.

It took me a minute to figure out the 5 different valves on our shower and the water wasn't instantly hot when we arrived in early afternoon. Some water leaked out of the shower onto the bathroom floor. No view from our window but I would expect to pay more for that feature. Bar of soap was too small.
