The only good thing was the hot water for the shower. The rude and unpolite staff at the Reception Desk and in the Main Restaurant during the Breakfast. It is not possible to ask at 10.00a.M. very polite if the room is ready after a early checking is requested and after waiting 2 hours in the Lobby without offering you a glass of water to get an answer from Mr Nikos (Receptionist) that if I give you the room now I have to charge you from last night.Finally we got the room 13:30 and the Minibar it was totally empty even not water was available. Because of the Main Road treffic noise we were not able to sleep the whole night. The breakfast Buffet was very poor quality and everything was on a self service basis even when I have requested a small spoon for my coffee from the waiter, after 10 minutes he told that he has brought it on the buffet and I had to stand and pick up the spoon from the Buffet area.

Good value for the money. Breakfast not included (common in most hotels in Europe); location not so close to the airport as advertised (10 minute cab ride for 25 euro).

1St problem is getting there. There is a bus, but no information inside the terminal how to find it. (Turn right outside arrivals and walk to car park) Hotel is 20 mins drive. Staff were indifferent/unfriendly. Beware early morning airport transfer must be booked in advance. Other guests were told there was no place at the time they wanted 'because we have too many guests'. Taxi ride is around 30 Euros. Nice rooms, but at this price, it is really outrageous to charge extra for internet and breakfast. This hotel is a good example of how a monopoly position drives down service and value for guests; there's only one other hotel near the airport, and that's 5 star and very expensive. Next time I will take metro into the city to avoid this rip off.

Staff was nice. Room was large and comfortable. Close to airport. Shuttle to airport was timely when we arrived and when we left. Wifi, which was free at every hotel on our 2 week trip to Crete, was 18 Euros at this hotel.

Clean and comforatable with good free parking The charge of 12.95 Euros per day was unacceptable and therefore I did not have email access during the stay. In these days of free email access just about everywhere was disappointing. Additionally, 17 Euros for breakfast per person is not good value for money. With free internet and a more reasonable breakfast price the answer to the below would be yes.

The hotel was comfortable and accomidating. The hotel staff lined up a taxi for myself and my wife to the airport at 4:00 A.M. for a flight, and advised us that the taxi would cost 30 euro. I know for a fact that the ride should have only cost 5-10 euro at max. I explained this with a police officer at the airport. I questioned the taxi fare with the receptionist at the hotel and I was advised that the cab trip was so expensive was because of the tolls they would have to pay on the way to the airport. On the way to the airport, I noticed we did not even pass any toll booths! I am extremely upset with the how the staff at the hotel took advantage of us. I have later learned that there are unlicensed taxis drivers in Greece which I believed we were in because the cab had no meter anywhere in the car to state the fare cost.

My husband and I booked this hotel thinking we would for sure get the quality they advertised, especially seeing they were rated 5 star. However we specifically requested a non-smoking room as I am pregnant and can't stand certain smells right now and when checking in they did not tell us we were not getting this. So after traveling all day and arriving at 2am we climb into bed and it stinks like smoke. The next day we told the manager about this and all we received were excuses. Not the kind of treatment we get from other 5 star hotels.

Location, food and decor The minibus service from the airport was terrible. There is very little information about it. I waited for 45 mins and never got the bus. In the end I took a taxi which cost 18 euros which was extremely expensive. However, from the hotel the mini bus service was good.

We chose the Holiday Inn Athens Airport because Booking.Com indidated that there was a free shuttle to the airport, since we had to be at airport at 4:00 am. However, the shuttle service does not begin until 5:30 am, so we had to take a taxi, costing an additional 30 euros. Booking.Com should indicate the times of shuttle service!!!!!

We used the Holiday Inn Athens as an overnight stop before moving on to the islands in the morning. It was very clean and the room was spacious and well-lit. None of that creepy feeling when you stay in an old hotel. Also, despite its location near a highway, it is quiet. I would recommend it to anyone who has to be close to the airport. The best part is the free shuttle.

It was so nice and clean, with all modern amenities, that I thought I was at 5 star hotel. I've stayed at thousands of hotels and this one is the best Holiday Inn period! The restaurant/staff was also outstanding.I Will recommend it to anyone traversing Athens. They put comforters on the bed which are too warm for sleeping, so we had housekeeping bring sheets and blankets. They were pleased to accommodate this request and did so promptly. Hotel is NOT one mile from the airport...it's about three.

We stayed at the hotel because it was closest to Athens airport (although still 10 minutes by shuttle). It is a nice hotel with all facilities. We had to change our booking due to the Greek ferries strike and the hotel did this happily. They didn't try to hold us to the original date. Their shuttle bus system worked well. We had a very quiet room. It is quite expensive. Internet access is e13/ day for example. The hotel is next to a service station which has snacks and coffee at very reasonable prices if you want to chose this option.

Thought the staff were helpful especially the dining room staff, porters shuttle bus drivers and in fact the shuttle bus to and from the airport is excellent and much appreciated. The rooms are well equipped and provide an excellent olvernight stay. Thought breakfast was far too expensive and complicated and should be included in the room price. Also loathed the musac especially in the dining room which was tasteless- forgive the pun. How about classical music for a change.

The reason I chose this hotel was because I wanted something close to the ath airport with guaranteed shuttle service. I did not want to take the chance that a taxi driver's strike would cause me to miss my flight. So in the capacity of a hotel that provided me a drive to the airport on the morning of my departure, this hotel was satisfactory. However, if you can find another hotel who will provide this service, take it-- because the Holiday Inn Athens will rip you off in every other way. I didn't like 112 euro for a one-night stay, 10 euro for internet connection in-room, 17 euro for "breakfast buffet" (which was poorer than the standard complimentary fare offered at every other hotel in Greece during the course of my trip), and poor food quality/quantity at the restaurant for our late-night dinner upon arrival. After staying in so many gorgeous, charming hotels--with great views!--over the course of my 12-day trip to Greece, I couldn't help but feel like I was getting ripped off at the Holiday Inn Athens. I was paying 45 euro/night in Santorini with a great view and free breakfast, so getting gouged at the Holiday Inn put a sour note on an otherwise great trip.

“Very nice hotel with everything you need to be comfortable. We had just finished a three-week excursion in Greece and stayed at the Sofitel the night before our flight back to the US. It was perfect of two weary travelers. Convenient as it is just across the street from the airport, thus no getting up and rushing in a taxi to make your flight. Everything was superb. Wish we had more time to appreciate all the hotel had to offer.” Daniel, Yuma |
