My stay at the Golden Sun Hotel was quite the mix. While the location near Glyfada was perfect for shopping and dining, the dated decor left something to be desired. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel at home, but the noise from the busy road was a bit of a nuisance, especially at night.

The room I stayed in was spacious, but the furnishings felt really old-especially the wardrobe. The air conditioning struggled to keep up on hot days, which was a bummer. Cleanliness was great, though, and the bathroom was decent in size with strong water pressure.
