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

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

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.

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
