Reviews for Athenaeum InterContinental Athens

Beware of this Extremely Tired and Poorly Managed IHG Property

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

Avoid. Not a real InterContinental experience. Frequent IHG guests will immediately sense that this property falls far below brand standards. I wouldn’t be surprised if it's about to be de-flagged or rebranded. Where to begin? Perhaps with my email to the concierge at InterContinental@mc.ihg.com (the address listed online), requesting a post-cruise pick-up. I received an auto-reply: “This email is no longer available. Please write to concierge-ic@donkeyhotels.gr.” All I can say is: Donkey Hotels by name, Donkey Hotels by nature. This place caters almost exclusively to air crews, Asian tour groups, and US/European cruise passengers doing one-night stopovers before or after boarding. It's a captive clientele unlikely to return — and it shows. Zero effort, just brand exploitation. The lowlights, in no particular order: - Very tired, dated property. - 2 of 5 elevators out of service. - Pool closed in the middle of summer for “renovation.” - Filthy carpets throughout. - Paid cash three months in advance — no upgrade offered because they were “fully booked.” - €17 for an ouzo? This is Athens, not Geneva. And no, it didn’t come on a silver tray. - Rooftop bar: 80 guests, one overwhelmed bartender, one waitress. - Room key doesn’t allow floor access beyond your own — even to visit family. - Revolving door randomly jams and halts. - Broken hairdryers in both rooms. - Minibar locked. Supposedly the key is in an envelope in the room. I never found it. Tells you what kind of guests they expect. - Breakfast was dismal. A sad, windowless room with a three-star buffet. - Reception staff are painfully slow. If you're an IHG loyalist, skip this one. It doesn’t deserve the InterContinental name. I will be sharing this review with IHG corporate.

No pool July-August 2025

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

Hotel is nice. Pool is undergoing maintenance for over a month, July-August. One of the reason's we chose this hotel over others was the pool. No one told us on check in or prior. No option to cancel reservation. Hottest time of year , no pool, not good.

Wonderful hotel exceptional staff and the beautiful refurbished rooms

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

I visit this hotel several times in a year. Fortunately I have access to the Club Lounge and all the wonderful staff who work there. Everyone is so charming and professional. Such a pleasure. On this current I was lucky enough to be assigned one of the newly refurbished rooms. Absolutely beautiful. The decor is contemporary and calming. As somebody who supplies the hospitality industry I noticed a few things that needed finishing off. I am sure they will when the snagging inspections take place. Thank you for the opportunity of this room. I look forward to returning.

Nice, clean hotel with a friendly staff

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Very comfortable beds and extremely helpful staff. Elevators were large (for Europe) and the hotel was clean and contemporary. The rooftop view of the Acropolis at night was stunning. Breakfast was good with a large selection and made it easy to start the day and get going.

Attending a wedding in Athens

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

We came to attend a wedding in Athens. We chose Intercontinental because we are members with them. It's a wonderful hotel in the heart of Athens! The lobby art gallery is a lovely touch. As Intercontinental members, we enjoyed the recently renovated rooms and exclusive "club lounge" on the 8th floor with all-day drinks and snacks. Breakfast is included (plus dinner on Sunday). Special thanks to Maria and Pemy at the front desk for their warm welcome and  ensuring everything ran smoothly, Artemis for helping us with dinner reservation, and special shout-out for Thodoris Delios for his gracious hospitality at breakfast. We had a great stay and will definitely be back!
