This terrific little hotel is tucked away next to the walking mall and under the Acropolis. Mariana greeted us when we arrived, registering us in no time and even though it was 9 am, our room was prepared and waiting for us. That gave us the opportunity to unpack, change and head out to explore the city. Our room was quite spacious, with a king bed and plenty of storage space. We had a desk, sofa and TV. The windows were covered in almost total blackout shades that allowed us to awaken when we set the alarm. The shower facilities were excellent, as was the remainder of the toilet facilities. Overall our room, 101, was impeccably clean, neat and well appointed. And we had a wall-mounted air conditioner with remote control for temperature and on/off timer. Breakfast was included in our reservation. It was huge. Orange juice, water, coffee/cappuccino followed by salad and a plate of freshly cut fruit including banana, pear, apples and others. And finally, we enjoyed toast and scrambled eggs, the latter were hot and fluffy. The location is excellent, a short stop from the hop-on-hop-off bus stop, which we enjoyed. Many cafés and restaurants are less than a 10 minute walk away as is the entrance to the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum, both of which are must visits while in Athens. We plan to return to Noble Suites when we are next in Athens. Thank you.

Apartment is within walking distance to major attractions. It is also about a 10min walk to Monastiraki Metro Station. Apartment is very clean and comfortable. The little kitchen is equipped with a cooker, oven and other utensils. It came in handy for my trip. However, there are stairs to climb sonif you have a heavy luggage then you need to know what to expect. Anyway, there are many stairs and slope to climb in Athens too.

The location is very good, but there is one less toilet, the sewer must be doubled, or not blocked! The manager is very responsible.

The service of the self-catering apartment is not convenient with the front desk clerk anyway.

The hotel is clean, the location is excellent, but there is time to be a bit rushed, so I didn't go to the top floor to see
