Sofitel Athens Airport

Pay top dollar for convenience of an airport hotel. Useful only if you have early flight or ferry to catch

Had a few hours between connecting flights from Athens airport, so booking a night at the Sofitel was the best option to avoid non-hotel room surprises and miscommunication with apartment owners after a 14 hour flight. The distance from the terminal gates was literally across the street which was what I had hoped for. The cons: I came in with a 25Kg suitcase which was visually apparently heavy after a long flight and the hotel booked me the farthest room on my floor. Ok, no big deal. I’m young and strong. The first thing I wanted to do was just lie down on the bed to unwind after a long flight. I pulled up the tucked blanket to find that the bed sheets were stained near the pillows. Not something I would expect from a luxury hotel. Now I’m thinking if the sheets were even clean and what was the nature of the stains. Being extremely tired, I let it go and slept far from the stains. Went to take a shower. Two minutes in, I noticed the water not draining and water level rising. Had to shorten my shower time and abort with soapy feet to let the water drain before flooding the shower. Exited the room in the morning for my flight and noticed that the door was actually not locked while I was sleeping because the latch was stuck in the door. I feel that I would have just left the hotel a note on the shower and door and not write this review but the stained bed cover is unacceptable for the price I paid.

This hotel was so comfortable and convenient to the airport. If you’re looking for an airport hotel don’t hesitate. The beds were sooo comfortable and the hotel offers several dining options. A little pricey but it was worth it. Breezed to the airport the next day with zero stress.

Excellent location. We had transit flight early next morning. Hotel a bit old.

Hotel location is across the arrival hall. few min walk, just cross the road. Excellent solution for late arrival flights / early dept flights. Only downside ... hotel is not cheap or better - expensive

Great hotel, super convenient location to the airport. Quiet & very helpful staff.

Location is very convenient for next day early flight. However, the dinner is suck , what makes me most uncomfortable is the waiter takes my salad away roughly without asking whether I finish or not. The name of that restaurant is‘’ Mesoghaia‘’

Room is simple and clean. Great if you need to catch early morning flight at Athens airport.

Top and best Hotel if you need a night at the airport Athens
