Crowne Plaza Athens

"Overall nice, quiet hotel with friendly and welcoming staff both at the front desk and in the restaurant. Positives - Quiet, spacious hotel - Friendly staff - High quality and varied breakfast - Good location Requires Improvement - Rooms have a dated feel and a “smoked in” smell to them which is hard to ignore - Smoke alarm positioned directly above the bed and blinks / flashes red 24/7 - Rooftop pool is very small and right next to the restaurant. Poor positioning and poor size - Restaurant evening staff very slow to serve I would stay again if just for a few nights due to the overall friendliness of the staff and high quality breakfast"

"I booked this hotel because I was attending a 3 day conference at the Megaron International conference centre and it was 10 minute walk away and also an 8 minute walk from the metro line 3 stop Megaron Moussiki and the hotel also had a gym and a pool. The staff were pleasant & helpful, the breakfast buffet was ample and fresh with a view over the city. If the restaurant is full, it can take some time to get tea/coffee. The beds were comfy, the showers were hot. The rooms are dated, as per the photos with a lot of dark wood and red. I found them quite stuffy so had to open the window for fresh air but then would get loads of road noise. I did find the rooms quiet to sleep in though. I used the gym in the basement once; a good enough workout for a 3 day trip though a bit soulless. I also used the sauna which was clean and hot enough. I didn't use the rooftop pool; it looked tiny and I didn't like the thought of going through the restaurant to get there. It is only 2 stops on the metro line 3 to Syntagma Square so I found the hotel ideally placed for my needs and didn't feel unsafe as a single lady walking between the subway and the hotel later in the evening."

"Crowne Plaza Athens City Center is what it’s called. I like this hotel and it is my second time staying at this hotel. I wouldn’t say it’s in the city center. Otherwise, why is it necessary to take either a cab or the train to get to the city center? However, there are many nice bakeries and restaurants near the hotel. There’s also two grocery stores within walking distance. I’ve been to all the bakeries and some of the restaurants. Particularly the bread factory that’s not only the biggest pastry shop you’ve ever seen, but also serves the best moussaka that’s enough for two. As for the hotel, the staff is very welcoming and friendly breakfasts are delicious and the rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. Thankfully, they have two elevators some places don’t. Monitoring plans starting a day that’s why we made it a lot."
