I had a mixed experience at the New Hotel in Athens. The modern design and unique ambiance were impressive, and I loved the rooftop bar with its stunning views. However, I faced some check-in issues that were frustrating, and the breakfast didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of variety and quality.

The gym was functional but not impressive, and I could have used more dining options at reasonable prices. Other facilities like board games and a business center were a nice touch but didn't fully compensate for the dining experience.
