Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- The 'English Bar' is a legendary Cold War spy hangout
- Freshly renovated rooms (2023) feel modern but retain history
- Location is unbeatable—steps from the Romanian Athenaeum
Tóm tắt nhanh: A historic Grand Dame that actually feels new thanks to a massive recent overhaul, though service can sometimes lag behind the hardware.
Được đánh giá bởi @Valuable_V: I stayed here for my anniversary and it was everything! The remodeled room was super cute, the bed was huge and comfy, and waking up to that view of Athens was unreal. The staff even surprised us with champagne. If you want luxury without the stiffness, this is it.
