I stayed here for 3 days, because I had all-day business meetings at the hotel's conference rooms. Overall, the hotel is very good, but not perfect.
I was in room 426 and my balcony faced the Acropolis in the distance, which was really enjoyable. The room was spacious enough, clean and well furnished. The bathroom was big, with a bathtub and a walk-in shower, and some nice cosmetic products.
The breakfast was also very good, with a variety of hot and cold dishes, eggs (as you want them), mushrooms, tomatoes with cheese, lots of cheeses and 2-3 ham choices, salad bar with great olives...etc.
Conference rooms were OK, but were either too cold or too hot..somehow (it could be just my perception...)
The lobby is big and shiny, just as you would expect from a Hilton. The location was great, as it was just 10min walking distance from a metro station, but you could also easily walk to the city centre. Also, there were a lot of nice restaurants nearby.
However, the internet connection inside my room was very poor and cost EUR 30 for 2 days! First, no WiFi, even though advertized. The cable connection was slow and took some time to upload documents, which is not something I would expect in a five star facility in the EU.
Also, there was no room service during the first day, due to strike, but I guess I cannot blame this solely on the hotel management.
To conclude - a very good hotel which could use some improvements
- Hilton International Athens
