Beautiful dining hall, but not great in the rooms.
Pros:

The breakfast is nice and a wide variety. Beautiful decor and ceiling + lights in the dining hall. Friendly and helpfull staff.

Cons:

The photos looks amazing when booking, but once arrived the unit was not as nice as we thought it would be. The bed did not have a fitted sheet, only a flat sheet that was folded in and comes loose when you sleep. The pillows are of poor quality. For the price we paid (penthouse suite) I would expect decent bedding and pillows. They also provide water for the 1st day only. When I phoned reception to ask for a refill after the 2nd day, they said I have to pay for water. When I said that I paid over R7000 per night for the penthouse suite, they brought us water. The hotel has a strip club on the left, and another on the right, and a club over the road as well. We had small children with us and was not nice to see "ladies of the night" walking in and out of the hotel with short to nothing clothing. It also made me feel uncomfortable to sleep there as I don't know if the beds etc are properly cleaned especially with the high traffic of club people in and out.

The staff are very hospitable, will go out of their way to provide advice and guidance re transport
Pros:

the breakfast was a great selection for all dietary requirements, staff were very friendly and efficient,

Cons:

small lifts, but I suppose that is related to the age of the building. (not really a problem), there are two standard European lifts in the hotel), plus staff lift.

This is more important, the televisions in the room are not smart TV, therefore no alternative apps or basic Youtube to be able to choose your preference of Television, there are some English speaking programmes on the Greek TV service,.

Cons:

Unfortunately, our stay at Athenaeum Grand Hotel was extremely disappointing.

The biggest problem was the incredibly loud music coming from outside, making it almost impossible to sleep or get a proper night’s rest. The aluminium windows provide very poor sound insulation, so all the noise from outside can be heard clearly inside the room.

Another major issue is the underground parking. If you are travelling with a larger vehicle or SUV, accessing and parking in the underground garage is extremely difficult, if not impossible.

A hotel should provide comfort, peace, and a good night’s sleep, but unfortunately, this hotel failed to deliver.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who values peace, quiet, and a comfortable stay, especially those travelling with larger vehicles. Very disappointing!

Nice and pleasant staying, meeting my needs a lot.
Pros:

Enough updated stylish hotel, in a central point, with car parking, friendly and polite staff, spacious bed and soft pillows,daily room cleaning after asking for it, plenty enough and various breakfast.

Cons:

Better and more isolated shower cabin. For enviromental and economic reasons it would be better for the hotel to adjust the room card case, so as to be functional becouse it wasn't connecting with lights and air condition operation!
