Checkout I believe is 11am but Expedia said noon, so the concierge came up and was telling us we didn't have the time we thought we did. They were perfectly pleasant but it forced me to pack quickly.

- "Danisa (sp), the front desk/coffee bar extraordinaire was amazing!!! She was a fountain of information and her recommendations were on point. I had a great meal and was able to get some shopping done. I was given information on transportation options for heading to the airport in the middle of the night. She made me an iced coffee that was better than Starbucks. The room was nice and quiet. The locker was huge and I was able to store all my luggage with plenty of room left. The location gave me dining options and shopping options. My only suggestion is to have the option of early check-in or at least have the option to be able to grab a shower. After traveling over 24 hours it would have been nice to get a shower and head out for the day. I would have paid extra for the privilege. Overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely stay here again. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The place was clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable and I was able to get some decent sleep."

- "Great place! " - "The environment was friendly, the price affordable, the area is convenient, close to the places of interest, rather close to the cycle lane at the Thessaloniki street towards the sea, and about 20-30 minutes on foot from the railway station. The mattress was good enough, but the linen was dirty (at least one of two sheets provided was not very clean, the another one was black, so I can't say how clean it was), and the blanket had holes. The accomodation is acceptable for 1-2 nights. In my case, I left the place earlier then I expected, for personal reasons."
