from Airport to Hotel

Hotel is a little far out of town but served by a good & efficient bus route. Accomodation pleaseant & clean. Best for business travelers who dont fancy the fight in Athens traffic each morning, but not so good for couples / families as there is nothing much to do in immediate area.

For business, hotel has good DSL connection costs Euro19 for 24 hours, ask reception for a LAN cable & power adapter on check in.

A good quiet stay halfway betwwen airport & city.

Unique Quality: Comming out of airport arrivals - dont bother with cabs - take the bus. costs Euros3.20 & drops right outside hotel, trip takes about 20-30 mins. buy tickets at kiosk outside arrivals at far right end entrance. take the X95.
Also when in the hotel & wanting to go into twon take the bus again for a 30 min trip to drop you in the heart of athens Syntagma square.

Too Many Niggles!

Having decided to stay in Athens for a week I spent a few hours searching for a suitable hotel and Orbitz came up with this one but had located on the map as being in the city centre. At over 150 euros this was a little more than I normally pay for a hotel but both the location and the facilities were exactly what I wanted and it was one of the few hotels with availabilty at short notice and the necessary services and so I went ahead and booked it.

HA! According to Orbitz's map the hotel should have been just round the corner from the internet cafe that I was using at the time and so I decided to check-in before going back to pick up my luggage from the previous night's stay at Hotel Marina. This was the first niggle - I couldn't find the hotel anywhere in the area that it was mapped and enquiring over a beer at a local cafe yielded no joy either.

Back to the internet cafe, back online, I discover through Holiday Inn's site that the hotel is not in the city centre but in fact out by the airport. I explain this over the phone to Orbitz and despite being shunted up the chain of command can only get them to agree to cancel the reservation without charge if I find somewhere else.

Unique Quality: Having already spent several hours searching hotels earlier I decide to stay there anyway as it is on the main airport bus route into the city and so the location isn't really a major problem.

The hotel itself is a brand-new Hi Tech, all singing, all dancing, 5* establishment and most of what it offers is spot-on but there were a couple of little niggles which annoyed me. Coming back late one evening (very late!) my key card didn't work requiring a trip back down to reception to get it sorted. Internet access in room was fine but the 12 euro daily charge was a hefty expense and the hourly option not available. The electronic "Do Not Disturb" button which I tried to use on the Saturday "slob-day" didn't work, resulting in a couple of interuptions by housekeeping. Arriving back late on the Sunday night (Monday morning!) I found that despite having been out since 10 am my room had been made-up but the mini-bar not restocked, leaving me without any beer (having drunk it all on my Saturday "slob day") nor had the coffee facility been topped up for my morning cuppa - a phone call to reception failed to elicit any suitable remedy - not even the offer of room service. The credit card operated safe didn't work - though the idea of having a room safe operated by credit card seems a bit useless (a bit like keeping the spare safe keys in the safe!!).

For the money these were just too many small faults, thus not particularly happy.

Great views though!
