Airotel Stratos Vassilikos Hotel
Only stayed for one night. Room is clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Hotel has a lot of amenities that we didn't try but seemed okay.

Grand Hyatt Athens
The property was very nice but becoming a little bit rundown. The carpets need replacing, etc. My one complaint was that the mini fridge did not keep things cold and was never repaired even though I reported it 2 times. The roof rooftop pool has a beautiful view and the staff we’re all very cheerful ...

President Hotel Athens
Room was clean - still think the experience is marred by the fact the hotel charges for bottled water in the room after the first night … bizarre policy.. never seen that in a decent business hotel
