Classical Athens Imperial - Athens, Greece 

"One of our best stays"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
My husband and I just returned from a ten day trip to Greece and a few of the islands. We absolutely loved the Athens Imperial Hotel! We are use to staying at three or four star hotels so this was our first stay in a five star. The breakfast was amazing- all kinds of fruit, cereals and hot food to choose from. The wait staff was very attentive. Also, the hotel staff was excellent and very helpful. They answered many of our questions about where to find nearby stores. The morning we left, we didn't ask for room service, but they brought up to us anyway a beautiful assortment of breads and fresh squeezed orange juice. The rooms are spacious and the washrooms are very modern and clean. We loved it!

Area around the hotel a bit run down and a lot of traffic. But the sound of the traffic did not bother us, the rooms were very quiet. The metro station was very close so this was good. We were surprised with an upgrade to a larger better room which was excellent. Although they did then try to charge us for breakfast which was to be included in our rate. This was worked out after some discussion. The breakfast was outstanding! Help providing information was generally good, although a couple of times we got the impression that we were bothering them. But these problems were minor. Overall this is one of the best hotels we have stayed in, the rooms were fantastic, and the breakfast as mentioned was outstanding. The view from the roof was breathtaking! I would definitely recommend it and stay there again.

One Complaint. The first night, the television turned itself on in the middle of the night (2:30 am). Apparently, someone had set the wake-up function. I complained to the front desk, and they promised to fix it. Next night, the same thing happened, but at a different time. (3:30am). The remote control provided by the hotel could not access the wake-up function, so we were entirely at their mercy. Other than that, and an overcrowded breakfast, we enjoyed out stay.

A friend and I travelled to Athens for the weekend in early October 2005. The rate we paid was extremely reasonable, having found a special rate for American Express cardholders on Orbitz. The hotel looms right in front of you as you exit the Metaxourghio Metro stop. The lobby was a decent size and floors polished. The staff at the front desk were more than accommodating, as we often had inquiries for them. They even allowed us to extend our checkout time by over 3 hours without charging us more. As our flight was not until the late evening, the hotel held our baggage for us until we were ready to head out to the airport. The room was quite large for a European hotel, with excellent views of Karaiskaki Square. The bathroom was large compared even to American hotels. The bathroom featured a separate glass enclosed shower stall and a nice bathroom-very rare for Europe. High qualty toiletries were included of course. The views from the roftop pool area are quite stunning. Overall, and having stayed at some of the finest hotels in the world, I can recommend this hotel to any traveller to Athens. And when it comes to the neighborhood, just keep walking towards your destination and don't act like a tourist (same advice to travellers in any city). My friend and I (who look like Americans and don't speak a word of Greek!) were out quite late walking from Omonia Square back to the hotel and encountered no problems.
