EPICURE SUITES

Outstanding staff went above and beyond. I was in town for a competition and game day started before the start of breakfast. The hotel kitchen staff prepared my breakfast a full hour ahead of their official start and gave me a strong start!

Weak noise insulation on the windows - so street noise is quite audible, which is not great at night.

The breakfast was amazing. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially the manager Ms. Niki Petridou.

The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in. The staff was kind, helpful and accommodating. We also enjoyed the delicious breakfast with a lovely view of the city.

A slightly larger bathroom would have been preferred but it was still fine.

Excellent location, nice harbor view. Very helpful staff. Breakfast OK, but see negative aspects below.

To understand the deficiencies of this hotel, a short introduction is necessary. The hotel is located in a building listed as preservable, that in the past hosted the Commercial Bank of Greece, and uses (for the time being) only the upper 3 floors of the building (probably the private residence of the bank director). As a listed building, no modifications are allowed, and, thus, to reach the lift one has to climb a marble staircase (8 steps) without handrail. The same situation (no lift access) occurs for the roof-garden. This makes the hotel not suitable for impaired persons, something that is not mentioned in the hotel description. Because of the scarcity of space, breakfast is served in a tiny room adjacent to the hotel suites (which, given their size and arrangement, should be offered as junior suites, again something missing in the hotel description) or in the (not easily accessible) roof-garden. As a result, and probably in order not to disturb the guests with the breakfast noises, breakfast is served after 9:00 am, something not adequate for people needing to check out early. Finally, parking is offered at the municipal parking building situated 350 meters from the hotel, uphill, against a fee of 10 € per day. No valet service is offered. All this has to be seen against the price asked for a junior suite with harbor view: 400 € per night.
