It’s not so much the straightforward, cool-tiled rooms – some with four-poster beds and vanity tables – as their location, right on the Liston’s busiest corner, that's the attraction here. Set above a McDonald's, Arcadion can get a little noisy, but there’s good soundproofing, and balconies overlooking the action and the Palaio Frourio make it all worthwhile.
