"Ideal location for tourists"
We stayed in the Holiday Inn, Downtown Athens for 4 nights in February 2007. The hotel is in a good location with regard to the sights of Athens, the main tourist area is walkable and the taxis are very cheap (3 euros to Parliament Square or a 20 minute walk). There is also a metro station quite close and the trains are very cheap. The Hotel is on a busy road so a room at the back is preferable. Our traveling companions had a problem with the heating in their room and the Hotel were very happy to move them. Breakfast is good but quite expensive (22 Euros pp) we did not see anyone use the restaurant in the evening. Rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were all cheerful and helpful.

"Comortable Hotel!"
I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Athens as part of Trafalgar's Island Hopper tour. My friend and I shared a room and stayed for three nights. It's a very confortable hotel and the staff were helpful overall. Our tour package included the breakfast in the hotel which had a large selection and was very good. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean. The water from the shower spilled onto the floor a little bit. There were slippers in the closet and extra pillows, too. We did not have a view of anything. We were not able to hear any noise from our neighbors. The walk to the Metro Station is quick and easy. The shops and restaurants nearby are pretty good if you don't want to go too far for a good meal. Athens was great! I would return to this hotel!

"Nice Stay Nice Rate Nice Location"
Very nice hotel. Twenty five minutes by train from the airport- 5Euros.. There is no need to transfer trains since the airport and hotel both are on the blue line. Very close to metro stop.As we walked to hotel there was a cafe/bakery. We had breakfast here instead of the hote for 22Euros.Small market with drinks, food and toiletries across the street. Check in was smooth. The rooms were very clean however be careful of the moving beds. We had 2 singles and when i went to sit down the bed moved(its on wheels). We did not really use the hotel much except to sleep. We spent the entire day seeing all Athens could offer for 2 days.Do try to get a back room since Friday night around midnight I was jolted from my sleep from a very loud noise. They were collecting the trash and they were not quite at all when they dropped the metal garbage container. We had a wonderful rate on Holiday Inns buy 1 get 1 night free promo.Only 2 small problems during our short stay.They were charging me for a DBL/DBL of 86Euro and we only had the single bed room which was 76Euro/per night. After pointing this out they very nicely refunded me 28Euros. They give 30 minutes free internet per room per day. Every day they said the computers were down and would be back at 8am. Then at 8am told they would be down the entire day. Could not check in on line for our flight and the front desk agent could not give us any answers. Would highly suggest hotel for their great price, clean rooms, nice staff and their location to the metro. Just ask when you arrive if the computer in the business center works, otherwise find out the location of the nearest internet cafe Can't wait until we return to Athens. Yes I would stay here again.

"Right near the airport!"
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Attica in late September 2005 at the end of an extended holiday on Crete. The staff spoke very good English and they were helpful. The rooms were very nice and the meals in the dining room were quite good. This is a perfect place to stay when you have to catch an early flight out of Athens. We had a rental car and it took us about 8 minutes from the hotel to the airport. We had trouble with the written directions to the hotel (it's accessible only from the service island off the highway), and I didn't like pre-paying in full with no cancellation policy (I did this because there are only 2 hotels out near the airport), but other than that, I recommend this hotel.

"Funkadelic with yummy breakfast buffet!"
We had an early departure flight to London on 10/31, so we wanted to stay near the Athens airport the prior evening. The Sofitel was convenient, but pricey, so we decided to go with the Holiday Inn instead and were very happy with our choice. We couldn't figure out how to get the shuttle to come get us (there was no courtesy phone, it was late and we didn't have a Greek phone card), so we just cabbed it there for 20 Euros. When we arrived, we were checked in quickly and efficiently by a friendly desk clerk. The room was very spacious and even had a king size bed -- wow! The decor is very, very funky on the inside and outside of the hotel -- almost space age! There was even a glass wall sculpture in the bathroom that lit up (no kidding)! The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and there was a very sumptuous breakfast buffet in the morning. We also used the free shuttle service to get to the airport the next day and it was quick and easy. If you need to stay by the airport, this hotel is great!
