Feedback about Intercontinental Athenaeum Athens By Ihg from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Athenaeum Intercontinental offers a wonderful experience with its convenient location close to city attractions, including easy access via the tram. Guests often praise the excellent breakfast options. Many appreciate the recently renovated, spacious rooms, while some have noted that the hotel's exterior doesn't quite reflect the beauty found inside. The rooftop bar and restaurant with its amazing views is a highlight for many visitors, and the "club lounge" on the 8th floor and even a piano player in the lounge add to the appeal.

the room was large and very clean. i found the bed wonderfully comfortable with great pillows. great black out curtains ensured i had the best sleep i have had in ages. the hotel breakfast is huge with so much variety. it was constantly being replenished and i was very impressed.

Acceptable Stay with a Few Issues

noisy air conditioning blocked bath drain
Breakfast had a wide variety of choices.
The rooftop restaurant was closed for refurbishment. My classic room felt dated, not what I expected for the price I paid. The air conditioning was also noisy. The toilet didn't flush well, and the bath drain was blocked. I found these issues unacceptable.
