convenient location short walk early check small room outside noise difficult sleep

The hotel is in a very convenient location. It is a short walk to the Acropolis and Syntagma Square. The staff allowed me to check in a couple of hours early. That was great.

The room was far too small. There was nowhere to put my suitcases. The windows did not block outside noise. It was difficult to sleep.
