Great clean hotel. Friendly staff and swimming pool was one of the cleanest. Service was magnificent and rooma were nice. Good location too

We booked here as we were only in Athens for 3 nights and felt that that this would be a good standard, convenient and had a pool. It ticked all of those boxes. Immaculately clean, very polite staff, newly renovated & large, well appointed room. Be aware that because it’s an Intercontinental, food & drink charges are VERY expensive. My daughter ordered a chocolate milkshake by the pool- she was brought two scoops of chocolate icecream in a small glass instead- delicious, but not worth 16euros! The first night we were tired so ate in the lounge- 70 euro for a mediocre chicken burger and Greek salad with 4 small pieces of feta. Worst of all was the rooftop bar- amazing views but a non alcoholic ‘cocktail’- in reality ginger ale with a splash of rum flavour was 17Euro and most of the the glass was taken up by a gigantic column of ice. A glass of wine was perfectly reasonable at 9 Euro, but be aware. The pool is fantastic but you have to get there early or you won’t get a sun lounger. I personally like to get up and swim early but for some reason this pool doesn’t open until 10am, and closes at 8pm so if you wanted to use it before a day of sightseeing or tours, or before a business meeting, forget it. I don’t understand why it can’t open earlier. CafeZoe is a nice breakfast room. Hot drinks were slow to come, if at all, but the breakfast buffet was fantastic. Location is good a short walk to Syngrou Fix Metro but you take your life in your hands crossing the road!!
