Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Athenaeum Intercontinental is frequently praised for its spacious and well-appointed rooms, with comfortable beds, sometimes offering nice bathrooms that include both a shower and a bathtub. The breakfast buffet is often mentioned as large and varied, while the on-site restaurants receive positive comments about the food quality; some guests, however, have found the prices at the restaurant on the 10th floor a bit high. The hotel is reasonably close to the Acropolis and convenient for accessing the city center, with good access to tram and bus routes.

The hotel provides a clean premise. It felt modern. Breakfast had a great selection that helped start the day fast. I also liked the huge television with Netflix in my recently refurbished room.
I found a pulsating light on the room thermostat that could not be stopped.
