The hotel has great staff, everyone there was extremely helpful and friendly. On the first day, we arrived early from a night flight and were sleepy and jet lagged. The reception manager gave us early priority check-in, which we were extremely grateful for. The breakfast has extended hours till 10:30 am and both cold and hot options were available. Loved the Greek yogurt they served so thick you could eat it with a fork. The hotel is within a walking distance to the Acropolis, Agora and the metro station. We walked everywhere. Definitely would stay there again and give my highest recommendation.

The hotel was okay, but honestly it does not deserve four stars. Two stars would be more than enough. The furniture is very old, the room is small, and the cleanliness is below average. The staff are somewhat friendly, but every time the coffee sachets run out, you have to ask for more, which is very disappointing. The breakfast is below average and does not feel like a four-star hotel breakfast at all. The breakfast staff are not friendly at all, and the food seemed old and not fresh. I didn’t like the experience and I wouldn’t come back again.

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!

Hotel a 5 minuti dalla metropolitana (ma a chi piace camminare in realtà il centro di Atene con le sue attrazioni si raggiunge in circa 20/25 minuti) sito quindi in una zona non centrale ma tranquilla e comunque con ristoranti e servizi (c'è una farmacia poco distante per dire). Camera e bagno puliti e di dimensioni più che soddisfacenti. Buona la colazione a buffet anche se con più scelta nella parte salata che in quella dolce. Bel rooftop bar con spettacolare vista sull'acropoli. Personale sempre cordiale e disponibile, sono intervenuti tempestivamente quando ho segnalato un malfunzionamento all'aria condizionata permettendomi di cambiare camera senza problemi.

I do not recommend this hotel in the summer, maint

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!
