Marriott Athens Ledra, Athens, Greece - Reviews and Hotel Information

My stay at the Ledra Marriot can simply be described as amazing. I loved it so much that at times I did not even want to leave the hotel. Going around the holidays was definetely a plus seeing as entrance as you walked into the hotel was adorned with many christmas trees and festive decorations. Every day there would be fresh cookies laid out in the lobby for anyone to fest upon. The most stunning part of the hotel is the crystal chandelier that adorns one the sitting areas adjacent to the bar. Absolutely stunning. They also have great function rooms that one can rent out for a wedding or party.

There are many restaurants in the hotel, but the two I went to were Kona Kai, a japanese restaurant, and Zephyros, which served Meditteranean cuisine and american. I was not impressed with Kona Kai's food, even though they are highly recommended. It was pretty ordinary and dull and my friend actually had some of his seafood still frozen when he bit into it. However the service, as always at this hotel, was amazing. At the end of the meal they served us some wine from Crete on the house and gave me a flower when we left.

I have nothing bad to say about Zephyros, they had an out of this world american breakfast buffet. All you can eat and boy did we eat. Anything you can think of...bagels, different cheeses, eggs, pastries, greek yogurt, eggs, bacon, cereal...EVERYTHING! It was slightly expensive, but it was worth it for the amount of food.

The views in this hotel are out of this world...make sure you ask for a room with a view of course and definetely ask for one with a balcony. From it, you can see the acropolis illuminated at night.

I also took advantage of room service for those night time munchies...however the menu was slightly limited so late at night.

Bathrooms were pretty fantastic, the cleaning could have been slightly better. Also if you need anything at all, don't be afraid to go to the front desk, they are extremely helpful.

In closing the only things I would point out as turn offs of this hotel are the location. Although it is still in Athens, it is about a mile or two away from the main center of the heart of the city which at times made is extremely inconvenient. I would have liked to walk back to my hotel but had to take taxis most of the time.

If you're looking for a great experience regardless of price then choose this hotel, however if you're on a budget then there are more affordable, albeit less wonderful hotels closer to the heart of Athens.
