Sofitel Athens Airport

The room was very luxurious and exceeded every expectation. The beds were next level comfort- disappointing that I was only there for a night. Couldn't believe how close it was to the airport and metro station, without any of the noise.

We upgraded to a suite which included access to the Club Lounge, more on that below. This was our second stay at the hotel on this trip having stayed the night we flew in to Athens and prior to our flight to Rhodes the next morning. This stay was the night prior to a long day getting back to the US via London. As before, the room was excellent. Bed and pillows comfortable as heck. Having a completely separate sitting area always suits us as one of us who shall remain nameless, gets up before the other. As we were on the Club Lounge floor we had a plate of fruit delivered which was very nice. The food in the restaurant we ate at was good and all of the staff were excellent throughout the facility. Getting to and from the airport is a breeze and only a short walk and an escalator ride making it excellent for our needs. As will be explained below, for one night, the "basic" room is more than sufficient and comfortable and in retrospect we would likely not upgrade in the future.

Check-in was quick and our bags were delivered immediately. The room wasn’t quite as large as I had expected but it seemed was pleasant. The bed was delightfully comfortable and it was possible to shut out both light and noise from outside. The bathroom was a little disconcerting for me as there is a step up into the shower. I had to ask my husband to help me down. However, it was clean and well stocked. Breakfast is buffet style and there is plenty of choice including eggs any style cooked to order.

Friendly welcome, helpful staff, clean and comfortable room, location is excellent.
