    This hotel fits me perfectly with fantastic amenities like free wi-fi, a spa & wellness center, and friendly 24-hour reception. On my first stay, the staff even helped me with plug adaptors. I highly recommend the rooftop bar!

    Superb view of the Acropolis and Athens

    Room in need of renovation, especially the bathroom. The air conditioning is running and could not be repaired by the house technician.

    The hotel room was excellent. Huge, clean, comfortable. The lobby is great, the cafe' is great too. I like everything at Athenaeum Intercontinental, everytime I stay there!

    The location. Far away from the metro station, which is the best way to move around in Athens. There is a tram connection though very near.

    Side services (breakfast 35,- €/px !!, room service beer 300ml 7,- € !, spa) extremely expensive, no relation with other cities with much higher economic status.

    Wir haben in einem geraeumigen Superior Zimmer mit einer gemuetlichen Dachterrasse gewohnt. Die Tramhaltestelle war nur 2 Minuten entfernt und brachte uns direkt ins Zentrum. Es gab auch ein nettes Fruehstueckscafe und ein tolles Fischrestaurant in der Naehe.

    Das Frühstück war sehr karg und wurde nicht nachgefüllt.

    A fantastic stay as always. Super friendly staff, very helpful. Despite arriving from the islands looking very windblown and scruffy I was treated with the utmost discretion. I wil be back soon. You are my preferred Athens stopover.

    the hotel room was very clean, the bed and pillows were very comfortable.. the staff was very friendly and spoke English very well..

    i had a problem with the hot water in the shower.. also the elevator system with the cards is a hassle everytime you enter, sometimes it did not read the card so you stayed in place in the dark..

    very pleasant staff. Upgraded since I booked through Booked.net.

    Perhaps bathroom too old fashion and cheap renovation...
