Location was fantastic just at Syntagma square and 5 min walk to metro. About 14 min walk to all the major sites too. However toilet was so cramped and difficult to move about. Hope the hotel can do something about this.

This hotel is highly recommend for both its LOCATION and very efficient/PROFESSIONAL staffs at reception! From Monastiraki a 7min walk / frm Syntagma 3mins walk! Buffet breakfast; EXCELLENT! I arrived on the day where the public road was closed due to an annual street demonstration, not to mention the fatigue I’m encountering after traveling for 3 months BUT the great hospitality at Arethusa made everything pleasant. Rooftop terrace at Lvl 9 gives a view of Acropoli, PERFECT! Room is well equipped, SPOTLESSLY CLEAN! Standing shower has a great water pressure.Extra comforter is provided in cupboard which is very helpful during this winter. A/C heater in room works well too! Arethusa Hotel deserves a better grade for its excellent service/quality! I am glad i managed to book a room with them! Highly recommend to both solo travellers or couple, street is quiet/safe in the night. THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFFS OF ARETHUSA!
