Clean room. In downtown, close to monuments. One thing it claimed is shuttle but not really.

Attalos Hotel
Located very centrally, very close to monastariki metro station. Staff were great, let us check in a good few hours early one time and then let us store luggage free the day after. Great rooftop bar with amazing views and reasonable prices. Stayed there twice now and would probably stay here ...
