Location of hotel was excellent to all the main attractions however I felt the hotel was over priced. The rooms were tired looking and as for the restaurant “senses” i ordered room service as I had been up since 6am fo fly from Crete to Athens. The mushroom risotto was disappointing too salty and not worth the money. Anna was really helpful and stood out but the rest of the staff looked unhappy and miserable. Over priced hotel for what I got so won’t be back in November.
