5-Star Hotels in Attica, Greece

Excellent location near Syntagma Square and walkable to all tourist spots. The staff were cheerful and attentive, and the room was well-equipped (comfy bed, slippers, and toothbrush provided). The best part was the breakfast buffet on the rooftop with a view of the Acropolis. Highly recommended!

This is not a 5* hotel. A good 3*. It does not meet 5* standards. The rooms are too small. Very small, even. Instead of a restaurant, there is a small breakfast room. After arriving by taxi, no one came out to take our luggage, this is standard in 4* and even more so 5* hotels, because the receptionist was alone. The decor is very austere and simple. An ordinary building fitted between old tenement houses on the Square. The view from the windows is terrible at the walls of the neighboring, neglected buildings. No parking or even a parking space. This is a problem, because if you arrive by taxi to get off and unload your luggage, you will block the traffic on the entire street. No bar, no real restaurant. No possibility of going to the roof, where you could arrange a terrace with a view of the Acropolis. Breakfasts are good and very varied, but everything is cold and cold. Fried eggs are cold. Coffee is good. Breakfast products are of good quality. The lighting, air conditioning and window blinds control system is easy to learn and simple, but it's a headache because when you leave the room, everything resets and you have to set it up again via the smartphone app when you come back. In reality, it takes much longer. The blinds don't do their job because they're too far from the windows and the room is bright at night. The bathroom is nice but cramped because it was designed without any idea. Instead of a washbasin, there's a huge sink that takes up 1/3 of the bathroom, and too much glass between the toilet and the washbasin, not needed for anything but limiting the space. The water spout in the washbasin is too long, it interferes with washing and the water splashes on your clothes. The toilet bowl is good for women or eunuchs because it doesn't provide space for male organs. The shower is good with high water pressure. Easy to adjust. There are no sockets by the beds, only a USB-A socket, this is an old solution.

The service is very good, and it is very clean. It is conveniently located about 100 meters from the beach. The breakfast is well received and delicious.

Highlights: beautiful views of acropolis and surrounding area from rooftop bar/restaurant space (also where breakfast served), buffet of good standard and restaurant staff very polite and a credit to the hotel. Improvements: reception staff generally very helpful but one particular staff member was not forthcoming with information/recommendations for restaurants/ details regarding late check out - we were always referred to come back later/following day to reception to ask someone else; when same questions asked later to a different member of staff, they were more than happy to help with all enquiries. Room: no ‘do not disturb’ sign available, housekeeping knocked on room at 9am every day, which woke us up; also housekeeping entering room after knocking on door without waiting for guests to respond; need some adjustments to respect privacy or guests; hotel corridors are very stuffy even in winter time Overall: a very pleasant stay

Athens Airport has long been my gateway between Ireland and Israel, and Sofitel is the only real comfortable option for an overnight layover. The location is unbeatable — you just walk out of the terminal, cross three zebra crossings, and you’re in the lobby. The hotel is definitely 5-star and feels it in cleanliness and comfort. The room was spotless and quiet, and I appreciated the complimentary coffee and water. However, prices are steep. Normally it’s around €400 per night for two adults and a child, though I managed to book midweek for about half that. Still expensive, but I wanted comfort — and got it. The booking didn’t clearly confirm if an extra bed was included for my child, and neither Trip nor the hotel replied to my message, though we did get the bed in the end without extra charge. Breakfast is not included in the high price, and €30 per person felt excessive, so we skipped it. Also, food options are overpriced — €22 for a “Greek salad” that oddly came with ricotta. We ended up getting Burger King from the terminal, much better value. The indoor pool was clean but the water was colder than expected and the size modest. The shower had fluctuating warm water, a small annoyance but tolerable for one night. Overall: great convenience and comfort for an airport hotel, but pricing for food and extras feels unreasonable.

The 8th and 9th floors of the hotel, as well as the rooftop breakfast area (which is also the top floor), offer direct views of the Parthenon. Plus, the infinity pool on the rooftop is perfect for photos! Probably because there are so many guests (and many rooms), after calling the front desk, service takes a long time to arrive (sometimes I even had to directly ask a housekeeper in the hallway for what I needed). The room facilities are quite old. Around noon, the front desk gets swamped with guests checking out. On another note, the hotel offers a free shuttle service to the old town every hour on the dot.

Old hotel but in a great location. 5 minutes walk to the Acropolis. The restaurant on the top floor of the hotel overlooks the Acropolis, perfect for dinner. Afternoon tea by the swimming pool is quiet and comfortable, also a must.

Clean, modern hotel with basic rooms. Located close to metro station. Pleasent stay, but definitely not 5*. Cheap and low quality cosmetics, many single-use and plastic items in the room which isn't exactly ”green”. Pool is nice, with distant view on Acropolis. Parking needs to be prebooked and costs 10€. Very helpful for the jammed area.

Great service. They tried their best to give me my room ahead of check in time along with a complimentary breakfast. Great buffet spread. Maybe as an improvement, add something something new each or every other day. I stayed a total of 5 days in between tours. Rooms were always clean. If had to find any improvement, maybe have a bidet in every toilet. But overall, I recommend this hotel. Close enough to city centre via subway or €8-10taxi.

This hotel has a great location, nice rooms, excellent service, and a fantastic breakfast. I highly recommend this choice. Location: Take the X95 bus from the airport to Syntagma Square (€4.50), which is a 10-minute walk from the hotel. The hotel is also within a 20-minute walk of most attractions, including the Acropolis, the old streets, and the Olympic Stadium. Luxury shops and Greece's best shopping malls are just a 5-minute walk away. Breakfast: A set menu. You only need to specify how you want your eggs cooked. Everything else, including bread, yogurt, fruit, and a drink, is provided. We chose coffee and orange juice. The yogurt was incredibly thick and delicious with honey. Reserve at least half an hour for breakfast to start the day feeling refreshed. Room: The layout is very well-designed, easily accommodating two suitcases. The double bed is about 1.8 meters long and the bedding is comfortable, considered large for Europe. As the hotel is new, the room was also fresh and clean. A large bottle of water was provided on the first day, while smaller bottles, like milk cartons, were refilled on the second day. More is available upon request. There is also a kettle in the room.
