We chose this hotel not knowing two things in advance: There is another hotel named Ermou a block away, which has more amenities than does Ermou 26, including a restaurant, and Ermou 26 is on a pedestrian-only street so you have to walk a block or more to catch a taxi. Other than that, it was good. There were lots of shops and restaurants nearby, and the noise from street performers didn't last too late into the evening. The reception desk was not always occupied, but when it was the receptionists were very helpful and kind. Syntagma Square with train and bus stations is about 3 blocks away. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean.
