We stayed at The Empress of Theodora Hotel for 3 nights and this is the nicest hotel in the city!! The room was nice and clean, great bed and breakfast! We enjoyed our time there! We will definitely come back, because those 3 days were amazing!
I liked the convenience of the location.
Breakfast included in the rate was very well served
People were nice and friendly
I hoped there was a setting arrangement in the room; seat and coffee table
Unbeatable location.
Very friendly staff.
The carpet in my room was a old (a little worn out and stained) but the room was very clean.
Breakfast was pretty good. Only that it didn't have real coffee (only instant coffee offered), and started at 8am (a little late, if you need to catch a tour).
