Marriott Athens Ledra

What you come to expect from a Marriott

This is a nice Marriott, a little far away from the downtown... but that is something to expect from most all Marriott's. The view from the pool is lovely (of the Acropolis). And the beds, service and restaurants quite nice.

Unique Quality: I paid 28 euro for a Taxi from the airport but my companions who arrived earlier in the day paid closer to 45 euro....

• Opinion of Price: about average

A pool with a view

This is a very nice hotel within easy reach of the main tourist spots of Athens, the Plaka is a few minutes away by taxi; the harbour and marina areas are just a little bit further.
As a Marriott regular I was not disappointed in the comfort of the room and hotels facilities. The Executive Lounge was a bit of a let down as they did not have enough staff to replenish the breakfast or evening snacks. Having said that after a brief complaint about the poor breakfast service I was told that the main breakfast buffet was available at no charge. The staff are very nice and helpful, they could just be a bit quicker in some areas.
The pool area really made the short stay there very present. The pool is heated, the sun beds are comfortable and, as it is on the roof, the view over the city to the Acropolis on one side and the sea on the other is very impressive. Another good point is the food from the pool side restaurant is good as is the drinks service.
Breakfast and lunch by the pool are the only meals I had there, the intention was to visit the Kona Kai restaurant, but as it closes on Sunday that was not possible.

Unique Quality: The roof top pool with great views.

Simply Spectacular

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.

Unique Quality: 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.

Athens' Best Kept Secret

Xenodoheio- the Greek word for "hotel" Xeno meaning "stranger" and "guest" Truly the Ledra Marriott cators to all.
Everytime I go to Greece, I always have to stay a few days at the Ledra Marriott, and I don't usually stay in Athens for so long. They have the best service and most comfortable rooms. With many fine restaurants and You are "Stin Kardia tis Athina" In the Heart of Athens.

Unique Quality: This hotel has an Olympic sized pool on its roof, along with whirlpool, and bar. You can enjoy a swim, a drink, or a meal while viewing all of Athens below you, and the Acropolis too! Also, the Ledra Marriott has a GREAT! Polynesian restaurant, Kona Kai, very rare in Greece.

Marriott Group of Hotels

One of the better Marriott hotels in the world. Not the Grand range but a good one. Was lucky to be upgraded to Executive floor since they were full & I'm a Marriott Reward member. The advantage... free flow of drinks & snacks for almost the entire day. Room rate is not cheap by world standard either. Generally, rooms in Athens are pretty expensive. With the Olympics next year, it's going to get worse. I checked in on a weekend & booked it through Marriott.com quite early so the rate is better (Euro 150 + 10.6% tax). The rates could go as high as double on some days.
