The Stanley
Clean room daily and friendly staff. I wish the shower was bigger and I should have asked if two bigger beds were available instead of the twin beds. Location of the hotel was perfect.

President Hotel Athens
Room was clean - still think the experience is marred by the fact the hotel charges for bottled water in the room after the first night … bizarre policy.. never seen that in a decent business hotel

Athens Gate Hotel
The room was clean and had a good view of the Parthenon. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They do not have smart TV’s so no Netflix or prime and the only English programming was CNN and BBC news. But in good location for everything else food, shopping and tours.
