First, I took public transportation. I took the X95 Express bus to Syntagma Square and then the A2 bus for 3 stops. My directions indicated 160 meters. I walked through a narrow area that ended up being a resturant. Outside seating was at the end. It looked like a lot of construction going on, but I never felt unsafe. My room was fantastic, roomy, clean, no weird smells, and no carpeting instead hardwood floors which was a plus for me. I was given a card for a welcome drink at the rooftop bar, which I enjoyed as I looked at the Acropolis. My room was very chic, the sink and toilet were both black and very cool looking. The bed was very comfortable, plenty of towels and toiletries. The staff was so helpful in getting me oriented. The Acropolis and New Acropolis Museum are a couple blocks down, but you pass other historic greek ruins on the way. There are plenty iof eateries along the way and so much shopping that I don't know where it ends. I took the hop on hop off bus, that was close to hadrians gate, but ended up walking from one square to the next just following the shopping and the food. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay again.
