Holiday Inn Athens Attica Av. Airport West by IHG

Holiday Inn Athens Attica Av. Airport West by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Exceptional facility! Amenities were top notch from the gorgeous pool and fitness center (with sauna!) to the bar with restaurant. The shuttle was shockingly efficient. Staff was helpful and multilingual. Totally positive experience. Would note the hotel is at a highway travel stop so there was nothing within walking distance, but the hotel's ample options meant nothing was needed offsite. Highly recommend and especially so for airport accommodations. Breakfast offerings were numerous, but extra gratuity not needed there."

"This hotel is in such a great location to walk to all the attractions and enjoy the sightseeing. We loved the view from the rooftop terrace. We did have dinner there our first night. It was just okay and a bit pricey but we were tired from our long flight from Toronto so took a chance. The breakfast was amazing and airport/cruise transfers were arranged and awesome. Overall, a great start to our vacation."
