The location is close to the airport (<10 minute car ride) and about 25 minutes to the city centre. Complimentary shuttles to both the airport and the city are another sign of the hospitality focus of this hotel.

The bed and pillows were amazing, the shower was out of this world and the terrace was lovely!
The rooftop breakfast room was terrific and the breakfast buffet was delicious and visually appetizing as well.
Most importantly the service of every single staff worker was above and beyond. Every single request I made was met and delivered quickly and with a smile.

I highly recommend this hotel also because the price is super fair and you receive much more than you expected.
The location is in the heart of the city, near Aristoteles square. The room was very tidy, clean with comfortable bed. It’s equipped with refrigerator, capsule coffee maker, LED tv, deposit box.
The bathroom was very comfortable, and you can get the hot water in no time, unlike the other hotel which have to wait around 3-5 minutes.
The internet access (wifi) was extremely very fast, a high speed one! I don’t taste the breakfast but i believe they serve tasty foods along with the beautiful scenery from the balcony.
They don’t have laundry service and the gym is in different facility, have to pay for daily usage.
Overall, it is a pleasant stay in Greece with this hotel as your homestay. Well done The Modernist.
