Hilton Athens

Luxury Hotel

I visited the Hilton Hotel once many years back but never had the chance to stay.
I was on a seminar in Athens and I picked this central hotel for its location.

Unique Quality: It is luxurious,with very spacious rooms.
The view from the windows is incredible facing the heart of the city of Athens and the Acropolis, and the Licabettus Hill.
It was May and I enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool.
Of course it is clean and comfortable, but the checking in hour is 2.00pm like in all European countries. I needed to get in my room a bit earlier but I had to wait to be cleaned.
Checking out is at 12.pm.

My choice in Athens

I had been to Athens many times and stayed in many different hotels but I think Hilton Athens has the best price / comfort ratio. It is fairly new after a recent rennovation. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. I also prefer it is location as it is in the center. One issue is that the street that the hotel is on is famous with its demonstrations and in times of demonstration you might have some traffic jam. The only negative comment I can make is its restaurant. The lunch there is open buffet and it is too expensive.

Good location, modern hotel

I got a very good rate to stay here in July 2007. Since I'm a Hilton HHonors gold member, I got an upgrade to the executive floor plus access to the executive lounge but not the one with the Acropolis view, maybe because my original booking was just for a standard guest room.

My check-in was smooth, but the reception wasn't as warm maybe because they were busy with some VP coming in that day (Angela Merkel or Germany's president, I think). My room was excellent, a big comfy bed not the typical twin beds put together) and bathroom with a big tub & nice shower. Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries came with the room which was great. I had a nice view of the Kifissias area & I can get the Acropolis view whenever I went to the executive lounge. They also gave me complimentary fruit basket & a bottle of wine.

The breakfast at the executive lounge was nothing to shout about because it's mainly cold stuff but it was enough to get me going for the day. I also tried the infamous Milos restaurant which served some pretty good food, even when I arrived late around 10pm.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel with the exception of expensive parking (27 EUR per day) & internet connection.

Unique Quality: Location wise, it's only one train stop away from Syntagma Square so its not as noisy as downtown. You take a 5-min walk to Evangelismo metro station to town or direct to the airport, which is convenient. The National Art Gallery is just next door and the hotel is close to the US Embassy.

View of the Acropolis at night from the executive lounge or the Galaxy Bar is great, especially when you want to unwind with a drink after a long day

Athens best hotel

The service was excellent, and the facilities are excellent as well. It has various excellent bars, various excellent funtion rooms, and a beautiful swimming pool at the roof top.

Unique Quality: It has great views all over Athens from the rooftop and the food is excellent. Also the function rooms are great for usage.

The best

I have never stayed in the Hilton obviously, but I go there for coffee and meetings often. It is definitely an amazing hotel. The lobby alone is beautiful. It has a very nice restaurant called Byzantium, and on the top floor it has a night club. I haven't ever seen a room, but from what I here they are fantastic.

Very Nice Hotel

I would definitely recommend this hotel. Rooms were large with nice balconies. Our balcony had an amazing view of the Parthenon in the distance. Nice lobby entry, staff was friendly and courteous.
