Downstairs private suite shares bathroom with men’s dorm and is adjacent to smoking area, which is not ideal. Doorbell rings many times through the night. Just things to know.

"The receptionist (male) is rude and paranoid. I called the police on him because he refused to give me a receipt and he was harassing me from the time I checked in. He was psychologically harassing me and was threatening to kick me out because he did not likely question about the neighborhood if it's safe or not. I was appalled and traumatized by his attitude. I filed a police report for harassment and refusal to issue a receipt. Racist and inhospitable service. Will not recommend to anyone....

Holiday Inn Athens Attica Av. Airport West by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent hotel for early morning international flights. The shuttle to the airport arrived on time and provided reliable transportation. Breakfast and dinner were complimentary, which is good as there’s really no restaurant nearby. Our room was very clean with crisp bed linens for a good night’s rest. "
