Just stayed here for a conference for six nights. On the plus side, most of the staff were very good and the shuttle to the Plaka was especially helpful. Like most Intercontinentals, the facilities and services usually meet the needs of business travelers but at this property, the internet charges are not only ridiculously high but also the quality of...

Leaving Vienna we arrived into Athens and took a taxi to the Intercontinental. First impression was not so good. The hotel is situated in a suburb in what I would describe more like a slump area. Than again this is Athens so trying to decide if something is an acient ruin or actually someone not finishing building whatever it was... More

I loved this hotel as you could sit in the rooftop dining room and view the Parthenon while fine wine and dining served well The location was quite good a short stroll to the efficient and clean subway system. Checkin and general service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely stay again.

I stayed many times in Interconti Athens, was never disappointed. Extremely efficient service. Big rooms. The location is far from perfect but there is a free of charge shuttle. The terrace on the roof has a wonderful view on the Acropolis.

I have just completed my short biz trip to Athens and must admit, this hotel lives up to the highest IC standards! CHECK-IN: swift, very kind, professional staff with an honest, welcoming attitude. ROOMS: spacious, meticulously clean with beds being soooooooo comfy, you’re most likely to oversleep your brekkies, just like I did!!! Bathroom and shower were perfect, too. The... More

This hotel is chic, clean, modern and proud of its Greek heritage. The staff bend over backwards to be of upmost assistance and that really made our stay. Great rooms, peaceful pool and a stunning lobby makes me rate this hotel trully 5 star. The immediate area is a little run down, however the hotel provides a free shuttle service... More

Used points to stay here, other wise I am sure it would have been more expensive than it was worth. Hotel is not central to Athens, but not too far out. A bit closer to the Port. The hotel was clean. The room was upgraded (platinum member) and was good. Everything was too expansive - typical for this type of... More

Almost everything about this hotel was perfect. Staff was very helpful, rooms nice and clean (however it looked more like vacation houses on Dominicans rather than European hotel, but, to be honest, Greece also rather reminds you of Cuba or Latin America than Europe, so it was more than in place). Hotel minuses are location and neighbourhood, but on a... More
