Hoteller med Barer i Attika, Grækenland

Modern, neat and clean hotel. Very decent sized rooms and well equipped with everything that you would need. Free pickups to and from the airport. Location wise. Apart from the proximity of the airport, there is nothing that you can do around here. Everything is about 25 minutes away towards the city. Food at the restaurant is as good but the chicken breast that we ordered was very dry and as it got colder, it started getting stringy. Fish and chips was good. In the room, mini bar, tea and coffee and good amenities. The shower is placed in an odd place being across the bath tub so it was a bit confined. Apart from that, all was as good as it gets. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is visiting for a short stay or transferring.

Athens Airport has long been my gateway between Ireland and Israel, and Sofitel is the only real comfortable option for an overnight layover. The location is unbeatable — you just walk out of the terminal, cross three zebra crossings, and you’re in the lobby. The hotel is definitely 5-star and feels it in cleanliness and comfort. The room was spotless and quiet, and I appreciated the complimentary coffee and water. However, prices are steep. Normally it’s around €400 per night for two adults and a child, though I managed to book midweek for about half that. Still expensive, but I wanted comfort — and got it. The booking didn’t clearly confirm if an extra bed was included for my child, and neither Trip nor the hotel replied to my message, though we did get the bed in the end without extra charge. Breakfast is not included in the high price, and €30 per person felt excessive, so we skipped it. Also, food options are overpriced — €22 for a “Greek salad” that oddly came with ricotta. We ended up getting Burger King from the terminal, much better value. The indoor pool was clean but the water was colder than expected and the size modest. The shower had fluctuating warm water, a small annoyance but tolerable for one night. Overall: great convenience and comfort for an airport hotel, but pricing for food and extras feels unreasonable.
