    Amazing service from Panayiotis kept us coming back!

    rating20 May 2026

    We stayed at the Intercontinental for 3 nights during a fantastic trip to Athens. The view of the Acropolis from the 9th floor was amazing. The room was spacious and comfortable. The service by all the personnel was outstanding. Everything we hoped for. We ate in the restaurant our first night and the food was excellent and the service was outstanding - beyond our expectations. Panayiotis was professional but friendly with the perfect sense of humor. He charmed us. He suggested excellent dishes and made sure we had everything we needed for the delicious meal. We enjoyed it so much we returned to the restaurant again the following night. Definitely the best server we encountered on our trip and the best in years. Highly recommend this hotel, this restaurant, and Panayiotis!

    It’s okay.

    rating10 May 2026

    I found it to be okay, but not impressed since it’s supposed to be a 5 star hotel. It was the little things that stood out. We had a suite. The decor was beautiful. Our bathroom door didn’t not shut all the way. Perhaps the weatherstripping/door seals were recently replaced. Either way, it would not close. The breakfast was good, many choices. I had French toast and on another occasion hash brown potatoes. The food was cold every time. Finally, one of the utensils at my place setting was dirty.On a good point, the concierge was very helpful and recommended a restaurant I loved and went to numerous times during my stay.. Martha Pallis, Owner at Intercontinental Athenaeum Athens By IHG, responded to this review Dear Andrea R, Thank you for having chosen the Athenaeum InterContinental Athens and for taking the time to share your review. Guest satisfaction is our primary concern and while we are delighted to read your kind comments about the suites décor and the service provided by our Concierge, we would like to apologise for the oversights on our part. Rest assured that your observations have been carefully noted and shared with the relevant departments for immediate review and improvement. We greatly appreciate your constructive feedback and hope that, on a future visit, you will allow us the opportunity to restore your confidence in our hotel. Yours sincerely, ReaGuest Service Center

    Excellent hotel with magnificent views

    rating03 May 2026

    I would expect great service from this hotel and it didn't disappoint. Everything was as expected. We utilised the lounge with its stunning views of the Acropolis. ALL the staff were really friendly, helpful and excellent. Special mention to the lady serving at breakfast (apologies didn't catch the name), really helpful and friendly. The employees make the hotel. ThankyouLocation is not fantastic. Approx 20ish min walk but taxis are reasonable and public transport good.

    Great services!

    rating30 Apr 2026

    Convenient location, spacial rooms, comfortable beds and up-to-date facilities. We first stayed here on 25 April and decided to choose Intercontinental again for our second visit to Athens on 1-2 May. Great services! They sent efficient staff to help us with our suitcase lock, even at 10pm, and they managed to open it without breaking it. Also offers rich breakfast buffet, and Christos and Ioanna are very nice baristas!
