This place is wonderful value for money and has fantastic views from the huge balcony. You have views of the Acropolis, the surrounding mountains and you can even just about see the sea! The location is brilliant. The room I stayed in was big with access straight onto the balcony. Looking at the moon and the Acropolis while lying in bed is a rare pleasure.
My only complaint relates to the rudeness of the staff. I wanted to use a tray that was in the communal area and on which was placed sugar, salt and pepper etc. I removed these items to go and give the tray a quick wash so that I could then use it to chop up some melon and water melon I had bought from the market below. This would take me only 5 minutes, at which point I would clean the tray and put it back in its place. At this point I was told extremely rudely that this tray didn’t belong to me, that this area was the communal area and wasn’t my property, and that only what was in my room was my ‘private’ stuff. This was unnecessarily rude and took me by surprise. I explained that I knew it was communal but that I would only be using it for a few minutes. Going by this logic it would be impossible to use any of the shared items (plates, knives etc). This is not the way to treat paying guests; it’s the opposite of what one expects in fact. I don’t know if because this place advertises itself as a place for students it thinks it can be overbearing and rude (because it’s ‘just’ dealing with young people travelling on a budget), but it should surely have more respect for its paying guests. As an educated professional approaching the age of 40 I do not expect to be talked to in such way.
