“The convenience of this hotel, just across from the Athens airport, cannot be overstated-a genuine advantage for short stays. I appreciate the blend of French elegance and Greek hospitality, especially the rooftop dining with its views. While a splurge, I find the immediate airport access and the quiet, well-appointed rooms make it a worthwhile choice for a restful layover.”

soulless atmosphere untrained waiter

the business printing facilities worked well. this met my needs for preparing documents before my flight.

the ground floor restaurant disappointed me. the atmosphere felt soulless. the wine tasted off as it was from an opened bottle left unrefrigerated for a while.. the waiter did not notice this issue. this lack of attention is not acceptable
