The staff is very friendly and it’s secured. Restaurant was just ok. The food quality can be improved. Same breakfast everyday, no change. The swimming pool location is very good, but water is not temperature controlled, ice cold water. The washroom shower design is not compatible to take shower, water flows out.

Very nice room and staff and well maintained facilities. Great registration staff. They were friendly and very helpful in answering questions re tours and transportation. As a rewards member and our room type we were able to use the Club room for drinks and snacks. The location is not center city but there are buses close by. We used the hop-on bus, a five minute walk away, for easy access to major tour sites and a city overview. I would recommend.

Overall a great option to explore Athens from. Room was clean, housed our family of four (2 adults, 2 teens) well. Lovely rooftop pool. Small but great and not overly busy when we were there. Two metro stops from Syntagma square. Quiet area although somewhat dirty but we felt safe the whole time.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast buffet was great - can get busy in early morning hours as lots of travelers are heading out for the day. Quick cab ride to major attractions. Walkable to several restaurants. Bed was hard and pillows were flat. Rooftop pool was cool on a hot day, but very small, so filled up with guests quickly.

It was fine for one short last night in Athens before an early flight but would not recommend for tourists or families looking for more modern, clean, spacious accommodations in interesting area.

Staff were really good, they were friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was also good 😊 The hotel itself is a little dated and requires some general updating / refresh. Our biggest issue was the smell in the room which may have been from the toilet. One night it was so intense that we could not sleep. We informed the hotel about this and a person was sent to sanitise the toilet. This helped for a little while but the oder returned ☹️

Would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in central Athens. The Gyro place a few doors down from the hotel was cheap and cheerful - very friendly service.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff is kind and helpful. There are lots of shops and restaurants in easy walking distance. One metro station is very close by and the metro was easy to take to anywhere. The breakfast is plentiful with pretty much anything you could imagine. The pool is pretty small and the rooms are a bit older looking. The hotel staff is really helpful in arranging any transportation needs and airport pick-ups and drop-offs. We used a baby crib and they had it set up in our room on arrival. One word of warning, they provide water each day. At check-out I was told we had a mini-bar charge and I was surprised because we did not use the mini-bar. The water they put in the fridge is the same as the ones they give free, so our family of five thought they put two out and two in the fridge to get cold for you, but no, the two in the mini-bar are paid. We had checked at the mini-bar menu at the beginning of our trip and there was no price for water listed that we saw. Typically paid water has a hanging tag or is a different brand from the free water, so I was surprised. While it’s not a big deal, it felt weird to be nickeled over the same free water that was in the fridge.

The hotel is in a residential area but you can easily walk to the bus station or the hop on hop off bus. There are many local restaurants around (walkable distance). The room was very comfortable, very quiet and clean. Our specific room did not have a view, we were facing other buildings. I really enjoyed the breakfast buffet and the view of the mountains from the 7th floor. The pool is small, made for lounging mostly. The staff were excellent and very helpful. They helped us figure out our itinerary since taxis were on strike during our stay. Highly recommended!

As we entered the lobby, it didn't seem so unusual for any crown plaza. But the staff at the lobby and the room as we entered was horrible. Room was not even old,shabby,broken,unkept,small,dirty but not to be included into any star category.My unproven guess would be they are in the process of renovation since the bathroom was renovated.WE lost $700 euroes that night to check out the same evening in couple of hours to rent a new place , all the trouble, and the front office gentleman did not allow us to check out ,therefore we just had to leave.He said to come back the next day n talk to the front office manager for the check out. Unusual for any crown plaza or IHG hotel. Very rude staff. We even thought of cancelling the whole trip.WE even requested him for an upgrade of any higher level. We were trying our best to keep the spirit n solve the problem. But he was neither willing or cooperative.

We enjoyed our stay. It was a good quiet stay that helped us get over our jet lag. Easy walk to the main sights or metro station if it’s a bit far for you. Breakfast was awesome in a light filled room. Pool was small, but okay for a dip after a long hot day. Rooms were adequate. Staff friendly and helpful. 20mins to the port. Little supermarket nearby for water and snacks. Few good Local rustic restaurants which we tried when we were tired. Ticked all the boxes. Most probably could do with a refresh is some spots but didn’t bother us and made up for it in so many other ways. Great accomodation and Athens is wonderful.
