Overall Hotel Avra was ok. It served its purpose as a hotel near the airport for the last night of our trip. The breakfast and the overall experience of the hotel was fairly average. The bed wasn't the most comfortable (understandably a personal opinion) but was fine for one night.

Property was fine. Free shuttle to/from airport is excellent and prompt. The front desk person was rude and unhelpful. We were a group of 15 in 7 rooms. For some reason my reservation alone did not include the breakfast. I asked her if we could just get a cup of coffee as we had to leave by 6am and she kept saying sorry its not included; breakfast doesnt start till 6am, etc. Really? A cup of coffee?? We reserved SEVEN rooms!!! Horrible and pointless.

Excellent modern property right at the water edge, with quick access to many island ferries. Also less than 30 min drive from Athens airport, has its own airport shuttle (we drove a rental car). Nice town with lots of dining nearby. Clean, modern rooms, many with incredible sea view. Would happily stay again

This is a very comfortable, modern hotel. We enjoyed the limonene service from Athens international airport provided by the hotel. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to the ferry terminal for our departure To the island of Andros. We are very pleased with our stay.

My room was very clean, but i had two problems, one was the smell of cooking from a nearby kitchen and secondly there was no wifi for my room, i used the wifi from another room but it kept cutting off. This is my sixth stay at the Avra and the first time i have any problems. I will still stay there again.

The hotel is very near to the sea so there is a nice view. The eating area gives a nice view of the water and the food was very good. It was quiet in the room. Transportation to the airport went smoothely.

I stayed at this hotel for only one night when I seen the location I wished it would have been longer. My view was of the ocean and you can walk downstairs and across the street to the beach. The staff were absolutely pleasant, and the place was super clean. The water pressure was super strong in the bathroom. There are a ton of places to eat at a walkable distance. Area was quite and felt safe to walk around. They also offered free shuttle transportation to and from the airport! Priceless

The bus was delayed and we didn’t have the driver’s contact. When we contacted the reception, she was reluctant to offer any help and refused to contact the driver, but just asked us to wait for the next bus if really missed. The bus is scheduled per hour. And the reception requested us to pay $3 euro for the tax. We don’t know if it is normal as other hotels only charged us $0.5 euro.

We chose this property because it is relatively close to the airport & they had a free shuttle. The directions to where the shuttle pickup was were incomplete/never mentioned that it was near a parking area. We gave up & got a cab. The woman that I spoke to at check-in wasn't quite rude, but made it sound like it was our fault that the shuttle instructions weren't clear. The restaurant was amazing & the property is clean & upscale.

I was only there for one night to catch a connecting flight but the Avra Hotel had amazing view, great food, comfortable bed ( which is important) all in the amazing little port town of Rafina where you can catch the ferries. Wish I had had more time but will return for a longer visit.

We stayed at Avra hotel after a long flight to Greece. They provided quick and convenient airport shuttles to and from the hotel. The hotel facilities such as the gym was a bit outdated but had an excellent breakfast bar in the morning. We were also very impressed with the local dining options nearby. We enjoyed our time there and were happy with how friendly the staff were.
