external bathroom faulty air conditioning

I was assigned a Double Room Private External Bathroom Balcony. The bathroom was located across the hall. This necessitated dressing completely just to use it at night. The air conditioning seemed centrally regulated by the staff at 30°C. It emitted cold air despite the setting. Better maintenance of the air conditioning units is necessary to ensure proper functioning.

Acceptable stay

central location rooftop patio balcony view poor shower small stall room noise

The location was central, near main attractions. I walked to the Acropolis and many restaurants. The rooftop patio provided good views. I liked the view from the balcony..

The shower pressure was not good. I was burned by hot water several times. The shower stall was too small. It made moving difficult. I could hear noise from other rooms..

acropolis VIEWS are amazing

major attractions nearby shops luggage storage

i found the location convenient, steps away from major attractions. it was easy to explore nearby shops and restaurants. leaving my luggage was seamless and appreciated. so kind and helpful.

The shower stall felt a bit small. It made maneuvering a slight challenge. it wasn't a big issue, but something to be aware of for a larger person.
