The neighborhood was very blue color with graffiti and run down buildings. Not that I was put off by it. Seeing different ends if the Socioeconomic stratum coexisting reminded me of NYC, but usually Intercontinental hotels are in an upscale area. I enjoyed my stay. No worries!

Exceptional Value
Lovely old hotel in the center of Athens. Ours was very large with a big balcony and beautiful view of Mt. Etna - especially at night. Hospitality team are welcoming and helpful Food was very good and rooftop bar was delightful. Kind staff, nice music and amazing view of city and Etna at night. My wife was thrilled with the spa area and the treatment. Both treatment and staff in spa were well trained and wonderful. The hotel is ready for an update, but that is only reason for not being 5 stars. We would recommend to anyone staying in this area.

I booked a twin 2 single bed room and upon arrival they placed me in a double bed room. I had to ask and get it changed. Very inconvenience when you had a long late flight. I had to call a number of times for extra towels when they knew two people were staying in the room this could be improved. No places nearby for food so a bit of a walk. Also an outdoor swimming pool which no one used. Indoor swimming pools would be better because no one want to be swimming when there is a dining restaurant nearby. No privacy in the swimming pool and it looked closed.
