Pros:

Hotel Ilissos was one of the most welcoming places in downtown Athens!!!

They cared for me like family.

The breakfast buffet was beautiful with many options, fresh international cuisine, clean facilities and rooms with incredible views of the acropolis!

They helped me find my way with walking, directions the bus and Subway and how to live like a local, even though I was a tourist.

I’ll definitely be back!

The room is basic. The staff was friendly. Ok area and you don’t need a car. 20 minute walk to everything you need. There are several restaurants close by. I would not stay for an extended trip. One or 2 nights maximum

Pros:

We've had an amazing time. From front staff, breakfast and dining to the views and location it was amazing. The 7th floor bar and the team members that served us and provided recommendations are second to. Nicholas, Theodore and Mike are like family to us. We had a wonderful experience and hope to return soon. Thank you Greece!!!!

I do not recommend this hotel in the summer, maint
Pros:

AC didn’t work first night in middle of July in Athens that was disappointing for a 4 star hotel, they moved us to another room next door that initially seemed ok, but gradually got warmer in the morning. We left very early for our sightseeing and came back very late. AC not working in tho the room. We were too tired to change again room and we had very early flight. I mentioned at the checkout about the enconvenient so they could fix for next guest and also to give us a discount. The person at the reception said that these things just happen. I asked him to report my complain to the hotel manager. Never heard back. Sent email as reminder, never responded. Unacceptable!

Bar was there but no bar tender. Did not try room service. Bed comfort was average at best (small pillows, a bit musty too).
