“Nice hotel, poor location”

Reviewed 24 May 2013 NEW

The hotel itself was the quality you would expect from an Intercontinental hotel. It was very far from the main attraction but it had a free shuttle bus to the main square (Syndagma). Unfortunately the concierge did not mention this to us on the first day so we had a 30 minute walk to the acropolis. The breakfast was not... More

“Very good”

The Intercontinental in Athens is very good all round. Delivers just what you'd expect. 4 star experience. The reception was very helpful when we wanted to get out for a meal - they recommended Strofi which was top class. Special mention to it's excellent rooftop bar with a great view of the city.

“The property is nice ,the location bad”

It is a good hotel and the service is good , but 35$ for internet is not warranted. Also the location is next to some rough places that you will not enjoy . The rooms have decent AC but the amenities are average . The good thing is that they have a shuttle to the main squares on the hour... More

“Fair enough...”

Got to agree with most of the reviewers here.. This is a huge hotel, clean and well staffed, but a bit impersonal and bland. On the plus side the hotel offers big and clean rooms, the concierge service is really good as well as the shuttle service to Syntagma Square. On the negative side, the pricing is really ridiculous, a... More

I've stayed here on a number of occasions in the past and it has been fine. However, this time I can't help but comment. Having arrived following a day of travelling l thought that it would be nice to eat at the restaurant at the top of the hotel - there are nice views across the city and you can... More

“Clearly Caters More to Business Travelers”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

We've stayed at the Intercontinental in the past and little has changed. It's clearly a business traveler's hotel and has all the standards to prove it or justify the claim. It's rather sterile but the rooms are comfortable and there is a free shuttle that runs to the downtown section near the Plaka and Syntagma Square that goes frequently enough... More

“Odd location, better for business”

Reviewed 17 May 2013

The hotel was alright. We got a great deal on Priceline, so we were happy with the transaction overall, but I'd have been really disappointed to pay anything close to rack rate. If you don't want to eat at the hotel, you're about a 7 minute walk to a steakhouse and a 10-15 minute walk to some Italian/Mediterranean places if... More
