Hilton Hotel Athens - Reviews - Athens

Our stay at the Athens Hilton was short, two days and two nights, but very enjoyable! We had the “King Hilton Executive Room” which has a balcony with a small table and chairs and faced the Acropolis. It also included Executive Lounge access with free breakfast and refreshments, a desk with ergonomic chair, high-speed internet, a sofa and a marble bathroom with walk-in shower and nice sized Jacuzzi tub. The bed was very comfortable and the rooms smoke free and quiet. The room also had a large closet with a dresser with nice sized pull out drawers. The staff here was very nice, courteous, friendly, professional, and willing to help in anyway to make your stay great.

Breakfast in the morning for us was in the executive lounge, which was your basic Continental breakfast (European style not American style) plus extras. Breakfast is my favorite meal, but it doesn’t have to be big or fancy to be good. Some times a bowl of cereal, a bagel and some juice is good enough. But, other times…bring on the pancakes, waffles, crapes, eggs and meat!

The pool was large and very clean and the area well kept. There was a pool bar, which they call the Oasis Pool Bar & Grill, where you could order drinks of all kinds and food off their menu. The staff would wait on you poolside, or you could walk up to the bar and order your self. There were many chairs provided with towels, some in the sun and some in the covered shaded areas. This is where we had lunch on our second day, and the food was very good.

The hotel has four other restaurants to eat at. Our first night, the only night we ate at the hotel, we ate at the Milos Restaurant. This restaurant is basically a row of tables along the edge of the roof facing the Acropolis. It’s very elegant, with soft lighting and very romantic with the view of the city. No jeans or t-shirts allowed here. Slacks and a collared shirt are required. The food here was terrific and they have a very nice wine list.

Check out was fast and easy, as was checking in. The hotel is close to many attractions, and the National Museum of Art is right across the street. We will definitely stay, and eat here again the next time we come to Athens.
