Hotel 5-Star di Attica, Greece

Room is comfortably spacious, clean & amenities are available. Breakfast was excellent and the staff at the Kahlua restaurant were all friendly and nice. Even the hotel staff from the concierge to Frontdesk.

The hotel was clean, with with excellent service. Just a little far from the main centre for walking on hot days. - about 30 minutes, but fine in cooler weather. However, only a short walk to the hop on hop off bus stop & taxis were not expensive, about €7.

The hotel reception is spacious by Europe standards. Checkin was seamless however we had to pay for taxes at the time of checkin. Took a little while to work out the lift as the doors don’t open automatically. You had to manually open the front door to get into a reasonable small lift that catered for 2 people and 2 luggage. It reminded me of an old school type lifts seen in movies. Rather cool. Rooms looked newly renovated and modern. Pod Coffee machine with illy pods, desk, a single chair and a wall hung tv. With this said, we had a room facing the road and whether the windows didn’t close properly or the windows were very thin with no sound proofing, but the noise from the road was bad. We were on the 5th floor and every car that went by, we heard. The heavier vehicles were worse. Does not work especially if you are a light sleeper. Breakfast was average with comparison to many other hotels around the world however I would say quite sufficient by European standards. Precooked eggs, scrambled, boiled and sunny side up, basic cereal and fruit selection and bakery was a bit dry. Omelette made on order. Staff in restaurant were excellent and extremely helpful. Location was excellent for this hotel as it was walking distance from buses and train, restaurants and some markets. Communications with its reservations team was shocking. Even after 6 emails with regard to a future booking, I did not get a single reply. Eventually met the hotel manager and had the issue resolved so a big thanks to Ms. Maria. Overall, comfortable apart from the road noise. Would I book again, will not be my default hotel so I may be looking at other hotels but would not rule it out completely.

The front desk service attitude was frankly not great. I had paid for two nights and wanted to change my dates. I had already submitted an application through Ctrip in advance, and Ctrip told me that they would help coordinate it with the hotel upon my arrival. However, when I got to the hotel, they claimed they weren't clear about it and hadn't received anything. They also refused to store my luggage temporarily.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, very close to attractions like the Parthenon and Syntagma Square. The hotel service is superb, the restaurant food is delicious, and the gym and swimming pool are great.

We booked two rooms with family. The location was in the middle, so the price was a bit high. Breakfast was only for one person, which was a bit stingy. We would definitely book again next time, but perhaps choose the city center option. The service was very attentive, and the surrounding area was very quiet.

My first dinner experience was very satisfying; the food was delicious, including the complimentary bread and breadsticks which were unforgettable. However, when I went back a few days later, something seemed to be wrong. The menu was smaller, and the service had deteriorated.

The resort and its amenities are really good. The beach and water activities are amazing. It has good bars and restaurants offering delicious food. We also enjoyed a pleasant walk to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Location is another plus, getting to and from the airport is easy; the hotel can arrange a private transport for a fee, which is reliable and convenient for airport transit.

This is definately not a 5 star hotel. I can’t understand how it’s been given that ranking. The room was definitely not the same as the picture. The carpet in the room was old and faded. The decor looked like it was from when it was first built or updated, at least 30+ years ago. The bathroom in the executive room was worse than Butlins basic accommodation in the U.K., and that’s saying something. The yellow sofa in the grand reception area was tired and dirty. I definitely would never stay there again or recommend to anybody. The majority of the staff were unfriendly. The waiters in the dining room never even looked at you. We had to go to them to request tea and coffee with our breakfast and it seemed like it was too much trouble for them. We stayed in the hotel as part of a fully inclusive cruise booking. The cruise company Iglu cruises must have got a really good deal with them. The hotel was full of people on fully inclusive deals. Definitely not five star. More like 2 star in my opinion.

Recommended by a travel agent friend, the Divani Palace Acropolis exceeded my expectations. Nestled in the heart of Athens, around the corner from the majestic Acropolis museum, the hotel was a calming presence in a bustling city. The wonderful staff and grand entrance made us feel excited by our stay. Our rooms were a good size, spotless, and had everything we needed. The hotel also has a lovely rooftop restaurant where one can enjoy the Acropolis in the background. Perfect Athenian charm! And the most exciting part? Going to the basement of the building. Yes, the basement. They have ancient ruins of the city right there, behind glass, which you can admire. It was the best surprise during our stay. We were sad to leave but look forward to going back again for another stay in the future!
