“Nice hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

I stayed there in January 2013 for two nights. I got a standard room. There were not many customers in this hotel during my stay. The room I had was facing a busy street so there was no chance to open the window for some fresh air sleep. Tried the aircon but only warm air came out. The bed sheet was to warm too.
In a business hotel it's important for me to sleep well. All other things have second priority.That's the reason why the hotel didn't get a better rating.
From the airport it's about 30min to get to the hotel. Depending on the traffic of course. I didn't try the breakfast so I can judge.
Overall a good hotel.

“Nice hotel in a nice lactation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

Very nice made hotel with very good rooms and facilities. We had a conference in Megaron ( the music hall of Athens) and it was only 5 minutes walk. Professional staff and helpful. We recommend to anyone who wants international standards with a Greek taste.

“No complaints at all!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

Having stayed in a couple of other Crowne Plaza Hotels in Europe, I had the chance to visit for a one night stay my local one. Was rather curious if I would get the same feeling and experience as I had in the other two and I can say definitely yes!
Everything I would expect from a Crowne Plaza is here. Staff was polite, nice room (loved the big leather armchair in it!), comfortable bed, excellent breakfast.
I enjoyed it!

“Crowne Plaza Athens City Centre”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

Quite a typical chain hotel. Quite nicely decorated, clean bathroom, bedrooms. Hotel is very conveniently located, just 5 min walk from the train station, and also within walking distance to Plaka (about 20min). However, I find it ridiculously that you have to pay to use the lounge as a Platinum member.

“Nice, Will not dissapoint”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2012

We started our tour at this hotel so had to make our way by taxi from our starting hotel by the Platka. It was nicely decorated, quite modern actually, which was a surprise. Before our room was ready, we had a drink at the bar but had to ask the desk agent to find us a bar tender. We only waited an hour until the room was ready, about 11:00. We were happy with what we got. We had 2 beds, a desk, table and 2 chairs and still had room to walk around. The bathroom was large, with a big bathtub and a Badet' The toiletries offered were SWEET. (i only use what the hotels offer to cut down on packing) Nicely displayed too, i just wish the Badet comes with instructions, (haven't been able to figure out how to use them) The bed was comfortable, the airconditioning worked well, the elevator was large and the morning breakfast excellent. The wait staff was very good.
What we liked least about the hotel was the location which for us newbies to get around was really a challenge. (we did take the subway and that was an adventure in itself). Also, strangely, only one bathrobe and one pair of slippers were left us. Not being people to cause difficulties we did not report or complain which in retrospect i am sure would have been made OK by the staff.
The staff really did work well together. On our last morning, there was a hotel strike so all the managers waited on the tour groups and others for the breakfast. We didnt even realize anything was wrong until i asked if i could purchase their delicious jellies and honey and the "waitress" had no idea. She told us of the strike and then gave me 8 jars of the jelllies. A nice way to satisfy a customer!
