The hotel offers spacious rooms with great beds, WiFi, and Ethernet access. Some rooms provide views of Lycabettus Hill or the Acropolis. Despite being old, additional charges apply for amenities such as WiFi. The service is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to meet guest needs. However, guests might find the location a bit seedy, with extra charges for basic services. The dining options are varied but may lack daily variety. The facilities are decent, offering standard amenities.

The hotel has spacious rooms with a sitting area including couches but had a lumpy bed and kitsch miniature metal cars in EU countries flag colors on the wall. The service was efficient in calling cabs but lacked in educating us about the city. The location was extensive, ideal for bringing guests closer to attractions, but not great for walking. The dining experience was excellent with various Greek options. The hotel's facilities were regular with European-style bread.

The hotel offers very spacious rooms with a lovely view, although the furnishings feel outdated. Unfortunately, cleanliness was an issue during my stay. On the bright side, maintenance is up to a high standard here.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although they could use some renovation. The location was central, offering easy access to various attractions in Athens, but the area seemed a bit run-down. The service was exceptional, with the staff being courteous and extremely helpful.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were clean and functional, the overall ambiance felt a bit impersonal, like being in a conference center. On the bright side, the rooms were spacious, decorated with lovely pastel colors, and offered a view of the Acropolis. However, the lack of character in the hotel's atmosphere was a downside.

The location of the hotel is a bit bleak, especially on public holidays, but it provides an oasis of class and tranquility. While it may be challenging to explore the real life of Athens from here, staying on the main road ensures a good experience. The rooftop bar and local cafes nearby are positive points, but the reduced options in the club lounge were a downside.
Dining

The dining experience at the hotel was absolutely amazing. The buffet included a wide spread of breads, pastries, vegetables, fruits, yogurt, and cold cuts. The selections were great, the display was enticing, and the atmosphere was vibrant. However, missing fresh cream cakes was a letdown.

I found the hotel to have spacious and comfortable rooms, especially at the club lounge on the top floor. However, the non-club floor rooms were a bit dated. The service was fantastic, with the receptionist Alexia and the housekeepers being extremely nice. The location, while in a nice residential neighborhood, felt a bit odd in comparison with other Intercontinental hotels. The dining experience was a positive point, offering a tempting buffet with lots of varieties. The facilities were overall great with fresh ingredients. Value for money was a concern due to higher pricing.
