    Review by hotel critic Adriana Wheeler

    Despite being located on a busy avenue, Athenaeum InterContinental is a peaceful and comfortable place to stay. It is convenient for business travellers and for tourists, as it is easy to reach by public transport from the city centre and from Piraeus port.
    Pros

    • private collection of artworks
    • meeting rooms and conference facilities
    Cons

    The hotel is conveniently located near the metro and in the center of the tourist quarters. Hertz office at Athens airport is easily accessible from the hotel. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and quality bedding. The bathroom is clean and modern, with a bathtub and shower. The service is helpful and courteous, ensuring a pleasant stay. The breakfast offers a variety of delicious options, served with excellent service. The hotel also has a great swimming pool and rooftop restaurant with a distant view of a famous landmark.

    The initial check-in process could be improved to avoid unnecessary waiting times.

    The location of the hotel is very convenient, with complimentary shuttles to the city center, allowing us to explore all areas easily. The hotel also provided a shuttle to the airport, which made our departure stress-free. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with well-appointed bathrooms. The staff provided excellent service, and the breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of options. We even enjoyed a fantastic view of the city from the hotel's top floors.

    I recently stayed at a fantastic hotel in Athens for my business trip. The staff at Intercontinental were amazing, always friendly and ready to assist. The buffet breakfast had an amazing selection, and the beds in our spacious family room were very comfortable. The hotel had great facilities for conferences and a good business center. Highly recommended!

    Would recommend this hotel.

    I was thoroughly impressed with the luxurious amenities this hotel offered. From the relaxing spa lounge to the refreshing outdoor swimming pool, everything was superb. the massage services were exceptional, and the staff ensured that I had a comfortable experience. the private facilities were a great added touch, making it feel like a home away from home. the location advantages made it easy for me to explore the city at leisure.

    The only minor issue I encountered was the outdoor dining area. the poolside snack bar was quite expensive for the quality and quantity of food that was served.

    Wonderful stay! Rooms were spacious with lovely views. Breakfast had everything expected from an IHG hotel. Professional front desk staff and helpful housekeeping. Club lounge offered beverages and snacks throughout the day. Enjoyed the shuttle service to the central area. a great hotel.

    Location was a bit far from the central Athens area, requiring a 30-minute walk or 10-15 minute drive. The neighborhood around the hotel seemed run down.

    Great Location: The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the city, with easy access to downtown and all the main attractions. Plus, the shuttle buses provided a convenient way to get around in the busy city.

    Overpriced Cafe/Restaurant: The prices at the hotel's cafe/restaurant were quite steep, making it difficult to enjoy a meal without breaking the bank. It would be nice if they offered more affordable options.
