All I have to say. This was not 5* hotel. The hotel was old looking, especially the the rooms and hallways. It took hours for our room to be available, even after we told them we’ve been traveling for almost 20 hours. The staff tried to be polite but they didn’t get anything solved for us. Basically they made us wait 5 hours until check in time, just because that was check in time. No consideration what’s so ever. I expected better service, better room quality from intercontinental chain. The rooms didn’t even have the toiletries that other lower star hotels have. I don’t know what the say, I was really disappointed.

This was a great place to stay however, I came during a hot part of the summer and the pool was not available. This would’ve been fine had I been made to know to this prior to my arrival. My party was tired from a super long trip. I thought I would just spend the day swimming while I waited for them to nap, but instead, I sat in the lobby and walked around. There’s not a ton to do around the hotel and I didn’t want to sightsee without my family. My rate also included the use of a pool. However, the breakfast was delicious, the staff was very kind, the property itself is absolutely beautiful! I would stay here again and again!

Excellent hotel in Athens

The room was very clean and we had a nice little living room area to hang out. It was hot when we were there and our room stayed very cool the entire time. the bathroom was a little outdated but everything else about this place was amazing. The most comfortable bed and the restaurant with the rooftop view of Acropolis was excellent. Anytime I go to Athens I will want to stay here!

We booked here as we were only in Athens for 3 nights and felt that that this would be a good standard, convenient and had a pool. It ticked all of those boxes. Immaculately clean, very polite staff, newly renovated & large, well appointed room. Be aware that because it’s an Intercontinental, food & drink charges are VERY expensive. My daughter ordered a chocolate milkshake by the pool- she was brought two scoops of chocolate icecream in a small glass instead- delicious, but not worth 16euros! The first night we were tired so ate in the lounge- 70 euro for a mediocre chicken burger and Greek salad with 4 small pieces of feta. Worst of all was the rooftop bar- amazing views but a non alcoholic ‘cocktail’- in reality ginger ale with a splash of rum flavour was 17Euro and most of the the glass was taken up by a gigantic column of ice. A glass of wine was perfectly reasonable at 9 Euro, but be aware. The pool is fantastic but you have to get there early or you won’t get a sun lounger. I personally like to get up and swim early but for some reason this pool doesn’t open until 10am, and closes at 8pm so if you wanted to use it before a day of sightseeing or tours, or before a business meeting, forget it. I don’t understand why it can’t open earlier. CafeZoe is a nice breakfast room. Hot drinks were slow to come, if at all, but the breakfast buffet was fantastic. Location is good a short walk to Syngrou Fix Metro but you take your life in your hands crossing the road!!
