Staff was helpful, room was clean though not spotless as we found out a lot of dust under when we moved our single beds further apart. The revolving desk chair could be better quality and with wheels. When I lifted the chair the seat just came off the stand. The room size and the overall layout of the room was great with separate seating area. The lobby had a great feel too with live music.

Just returned from a week stay. We had a lovely, freshly remodeled room facing the Acropolis. The room was very comfortable and spacious. Cleaned daily and promptly. We enjoyed getting up for breakfast daily. We enjoyed the variety of fresh food daily. Coffee made to order, a favorite of ours.

The hotel was very clean and well-staffed, with a private check in for those staying in rooms with lounge access. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful in the lounge, when breakfast, afternoon tea and snacks/drinks served in the evening. A relaxed atmosphere with attentive service. The room was recently refurbished, an excellent size and well appointed. The bed was comfortable and the turn down service a classy touch that has been mostly forgotten in modern hotels. The only gripe is an Intercontinental hotels policy that restricts TV volume to a barely audible '20' that required subtitles to understand what was being said. There appears no way to change that but when the air conditioning unit is on, it's inaudible. A very enjoyable stay and a hotel I'd return to.

Great hotel, great location within easy reach of the main attractions and with view of the Acropolis. Very friendly and welcoming staff. It's being refurbed and we were in a refurbed room which was nicely done and very comfortable. Had an club room so access to the executive longe which is well worth it with breakfast, afternoon tea and 3 hours of canapés and drinks in an evening. Friendly team in the executive lounge who look after you. Top notch !

Great breakfast. Awesome high end restaurant on top floor plus a good one on the main floor. Reasonably close to bus tour pickup point. Close to tram that takes you to central city. Bit of a walk to the metro but one can take the tram to the metro. Surrounding area is run down but felt safe walking through it.
