This review is a bit late is coming but here it is. My husband and I, along with our daughter and her husband, stayed in two separate rooms in August 2011 for four nights. The hotel is on Karaiskaki Square and a lot of guide books and people would tell you to avoid it. We had no problems and felt... More

Had high hopes for this hotel having secured a good deal on-line. When we arrived the reception hall was impressive and the staff very helpful. Unfortunately although our room was spacious, the bed was hard and uncomfortable, there were stains on the walls and the electrical goods were outdated. Certainly not luxurious and much more a tired 3 star than... More

Dangerous neighbourhood. Food was ok. Coffee in breakfast sucks. The room was a bit dirty especially bathroom. Five stars? I don't think so. More

We were forced to left our very bad booked hotel (Balasca, Athens) and the nearest was this shiny, clean hotel Athens Classical Imperial. There is no mistake with this hotel! Perfectly clean, comfortable, with nice, warm rooms and perfect room-service. Karaiskakis square is OK, but backstreets are not advisable. More

This is a comprehensive review of the "Classical Athens Imperial Hotel" to give it its full name and avoid any confusion. Before I booked, I read the TripAdvisor reviews of this hotel and they were totally inconsistent. It was unusually hard to me to form any view. This is the primary reason that I am writing this review now. The... More

Service. Service. Service. Isn't that the first thing we all expect from a hotel, and even more for a hotel which is advertised as 5 star? Well, this is what distinguishes Imperial! The friendliness, efficiency and unique service of the staff. It is the small details that make the difference. The reception staff is willing to accomodate your needs without... More

We were in Athens for 4 nights originally booked at the Soho Hotel. Upon arrival, just looking at the area and some people, it made us feel very uneasy. We decided we cannot stay there so we booked Classical Athens Imperial there and then. When we arrived, we were very much relieved even though it was only 5 minutes away... More

Don’t stay at this hotel! Not at all a 4 star hotel. The local neighborhood is highly questionable and potentially dangerous. One of the streets the hotel is on, Kolonos Street, is lined with houses of prostitution. Maybe that’s why there is a full time security guard just outside the front door. Adjacent to the hotel is a square, where... More
