The Square Hotel by X&N
Nice hotel in Athens. Was initially tricky to find as it does not pop up when you google the name, and theres another hotel in Athens with a very similar name. Quite confusing. Free water bottles/juice along with nespresso coffee was real nice. Air conditioning worked well. Shower was not as nice ...
