The hotel is a bit removed from main attractions, requiring a 10-euro cab ride or a complimentary shuttle service to reach the city center, which adds to the inconvenience.

My stay at the Athenaeum Intercontinental was overall enjoyable, with spacious and clean rooms. I loved the convenience of the free shuttle service to downtown, but I found the breakfast options somewhat lacking in variety over the days. While the staff was friendly and helpful, I wished for a more modern touch in the room decor.

I had a solid stay at the Athenaeum Intercontinental. The hotel had some fantastic amenities, like great room quality and an excellent breakfast, but the location was a bit tricky since the surrounding neighborhood didn't feel the safest. The service, especially from the concierge, really stood out, making my experience all the better.
Rooms
8.0
The room was spacious and clean, with a super comfy bed and effective A/C. However, I got a room with a pretty uninspiring view of an abandoned building, which was a letdown.
Service
9.0
The staff consistently went above and beyond, especially the concierge who was super helpful with recommendations and directions. Room service was quick too, which I appreciated after busy days exploring.
Location
6.0
The hotel's location isn't ideal. Getting to the city center isn't the most pleasant, and roads are busy without proper walkways. The free shuttle was handy but ran infrequently, leaving me reliant on taxis.
Dining
8.0
Breakfast was a highlight-with a wide variety of options and a super efficient egg chef. I also enjoyed the rooftop dining with stunning views, though the prices for food and drinks in the lobby were pretty steep.
Facilities
7.0
The gym and pool area were well-maintained and a nice retreat. I wished the pool was a bit bigger, but it served its purpose for a quick dip after sightseeing.

I had a pretty decent stay at the Athenaeum Intercontinental. The rooms were spacious and clean, making it comfortable. However, the dining experience was a bit of a letdown since breakfast wasn't included in my reservation, and that made things a bit awkward during my stay. Overall, I'd say it's good, but a couple of hiccups kept it from being great.
Rooms

My room was clean and spacious with good amenities, although the view wasn't lovely. The bed was comfortable, perfect for a good night's sleep.
Service
6.0
While most of the staff were friendly and professional, I had a rather uncomfortable experience when I asked for breakfast to be included for my stay - it turned into a negotiation that left me feeling awkward.
Location
8.0
The hotel was conveniently located between the city center and the coast, making it easy to get around. A short taxi ride was all it took to reach attractions like the Acropolis.
Dining
7.0
The breakfast spread was impressive, but since my executive lounge access limited options, I missed out on the more varied breakfast at the main restaurant.
Facilities

Facilities like the gym and pool were well-maintained, plus I appreciated the quick room service. However, I think some areas, like the lobby, felt a bit lifeless.

My stay at the Athenaeum Intercontinental was truly nice, thanks to the impressive room quality and really good staff service. The rooftop restaurant offered stunning views but was a bit on the pricey side. However, I felt the dining arrangements during these pandemic times could improve regarding health safety practices. Overall, the location has its perks, but it isn't as central as I would've liked.
