Sofitel Athens Airport

Sofitel Athens Airport

10/10 Excellent
"There is a reason you pay the price for this hotel—and it is absolutely worth it! The convenience of being able to simply walk across to the airport is unbeatable. The rooms were fantastic, the service was exceptional, and the entire experience from start to finish was outstanding. Everything was comfortable, convenient, and beautifully done. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again!"

"Breakfast was great except on the days that it was busy. Items in the buffet weren’t topped up. We noticed the difference since we were there for several nights. Overall great but if our only experience was on a busy morning, we wouldn’t have been impressed."

"Everything was great, our only suggestion would be to have coffee available earlier in the morning. We had a 6AM shuttle to the airport and it would have been really nice to have coffee available in the lobby. Although, this would not deter us from staying at the hotel in the future"
