Great When you Need to Get to the Airport Early!

We took a taxi to the hotel, the Holiday Inn on Attica Avenue. We chose this hotel because it was only 10 minutes from the airport and much less expensive than the Sofitel which is adjacent to the airport. We were flying out the next morning for the islands, so we wanted to stay as close to the airport as possible. We also knew that there wouldn’t be time or we’d be too tired to do any sightseeing in Athens when we got there. We took a taxi to the hotel and it was about 18 Euros. I think he overcharged us, but we were just too tired to argue. Our friends who were on a later flight took the bus-paid about 2 or 3 euro a person. If we were to go back, I’d take the bus because it was an express bus, so it took about the same amount of time as the taxi and was a lot cheaper. We got to the hotel, had dinner at their restaurant (it was good, but not cheap!), relaxed in the hotel for a couple of hours and went to sleep early. This was definitely the way to do it because we didn’t feel any jetlag the next day. The hotel is only a couple of years old and very modern. I thought that the hotel itself was quite ugly in their decorating, but it was comfortable. The room was average size and had a nice bathroom. The bed was one of the more comfortable ones that we slept on in Greece. In Greece everywhere seemed to have hard beds. The hotel also has a complimentary shuttle that will take you to the airport. We took that the next morning back to the airport and it was very easy. We didn’t think about it when we arrived, but they may also pick you up from the airport and take you to the hotel. Our friends arrived late at night, so we met them the next morning for breakfast. We were really hungry, so we decided to go to the breakfast buffet, even though I knew it would be overpriced. It was 22 euro a person and definitely not worth it. We would have been much better off getting breakfast at the airport. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who needs to get to the airport early the next day.

I stayed here simply because I had to catch a very early morning flight and it was a lot cheaper than the hotel that is actually at the airport and still relatively close to the airport. It also has a free shuttle (running on quite limited hours though), which was another selling point.
The staff were very, very friendly and helpful. The rooms were super clean and very nice. Very comfortable bed, huge bathroom, safe, mini bar, coffee, tv, robes, slippers, WiFi.
There is also a sauna, pool, work out room. The area the hotel is in is mainly an industrial kind of area, so, there isn't a lot to do nearby.
I would only stay here again if I needed to catch a flight in the morning.

Food was much too expensive, service in the restaurant was marginal and cost to access the internet was outrageous.
not an airport hotel

We were told this hotel was located in the airport area. It's about a 15 minute ride. The taxi driver was angry, he drove about 80 mph, it cost us 25 E.
