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

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

The service was slow when we arrived. We asked for direction to a restaurant and they were passing us from one person to the next. The loation also in the city is not the best. There are more five star hotels in the centre where you can walk everywhere. The breakfast was very good except the eggs had a smell... More

I stayed just for 1 day/night. All the staff (reception, breakfast, cafe) was very kind and professional. The hotel is very good, common areas are cozy and luxury. The room was very spacious and clean, comfortable, bed had great pillows and blankets, but it was a bit timedated and we couldn't find the radiator (room was cold - and we... More

Excellent service and facilities, we stayed on the 8th floor and had access to the club lounge all day. Location not very good, as it is far from the city centre and a walk along a very busy main road to the underground station. Outdoor pool closed too early at 6pm even though it was hot weather and daylight until... More

As past reviews indicate this place gets mixed reviews. First the easy part - getting there. If you are not toting hefty baggage nor do you have toddlers in tow, this place is easily reached - you either can take the Metro from the airport and swap to a tram at Syntagma Square or change metro line for Fix metro...

We thought the hotel was excellent ranging from check-in through check-out with great rooms and service. The breakfast buffet is a bit 'normal' and smacks of 'mass' production but otherwise the hotel comes highly recommended.
