Astor Hotel Athens

8/10 Good
"Great view of the Acropolis and great rooftop lounge. No food available on our late arrival, even though the front desk said the restaurant was open. Breakfast was expensive, so only tried one day out of four. Breakfast was good though. No coffee available unless buying breakfast, which seemed odd for an otherwise very nice hotel."
