Athens Tiare by Mage Hotels
5/5 Excellent
"Location was key for our family to be able to get around, metro right outside the door of the hotel and an abundance of cabs and walking you where able to see most of the importance sites. But what made our stay amazing wasn't location it was the staff of the hotel. From the bellhop who helped us with our luggage, to the concierge who was always available and willing to help and lets not forget housekeeping which cleaned up the room and place my daughters stuff animal on her bed. Detail from the staff and showing us the willingness to provide the best service is what sold me. If this hasn't sold you to stay here, I guess their free buffet style breakfast will. The spread was nothing more than excellent, they had it all from eggs to pancakes to cooked ham, fruits, honey, yogurt and sweets. Also the hotel has a restaurant that provides a variety of choices and the food was delicious. When I visit again I will definitely stay here not because of location but because of the staff and quality of food and services."

Athens Sofitel Thumbs Up
"Our stay was great. It was an overnighter after a long Greek/Turkey vacation. We had a bad experience at a luxury downtown Athens hotel on the front end of our trip, so we were really nervous. Not to worry - the check in process was amazing, the representatives were so nice! And they know/understand their customers. We arrived at the hotel at 9:30 in the morning. They had us in a room by 10:30 even though check in was at 1:00. They asked about our flight the next day to see if we needed a late check out. The rooms are very modern/minimalist, but that was fine with us! The restaurant was good with a lot of Greek options, and fast airport options were steps away...and the next morning was a piece of cake...pack up and walk over to the airport steps away. "
