    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.

    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.
