The location was amazing, very central and close to train station. Unique character to the hotel as well. Beds were a bit uncomfortable but other than that, no complaints. Hotel staff were always helpful.

A roof patio with table & chairs would have been nice as there was a great view of the Acropolis at night.

Wonderful historic hotel filled with atmosphere and great details, such as the elevator and spiral staircase. Unbeatable views from the roof of the Acropolis! Friendly staff, and perfect location in the center of town. Highly recommend!

The location was excellent within walking distance of everything I wanted as a tourist. Room was nice when I arrived. Staff kept it clean while I was gone. The view from the rooftop was great with a view overlooking the streets and a view of the acropolis.
The two things I didn’t like were that I got woke up one night at 2am and couldn’t fall back asleep due to there being a busy alley behind the hotel. And the breakfast wasn’t good and was very limited.
Other than that it was a great hotel, I had a great stay, and most definitely worth it for the price

We stayed in Cecil Hotel for two nights and it was a pleasant stay. Its a vintage hotel that offers a true Greece vibe! Small marbled frontage you will miss if you walk too fast, and marbled floor that's correct for the period. The antique elevator is fascinating, it still worked flawlessly! Clean room and definitely no bugs! Free internet and free continental breakfast on the first floor. Thumbs up!

The lift is a blessing for those with tender knees. Many hotels in Europe lack one. The included breakfast was fine, nothing special. Location is great. The tone of the place is rather somber, but the street vibe outside makes up for it.

I stayed in a rooftop room, but the Wi-Fi didn't work at all.
The room wasn't particularly clean and obviously old and worn.
The continental breakfast was basic, but filling enough.
The location was good, so it was easy to get around for sightseeing.
