Review: Soho Hotel Athens

Address: 25th, Menandrou str. Athens We stayed at Soho Hotel in March 2012. When I was looking for a place to stay in Athens, I found several hotels within my budget range and , a friend of mine, was nice enough to check this one out for me. It surely helped with making the decision…
