Athens Imperial in Athene

The inside of this hotel is nice, though the area is very poor.

Het hotel ligt dicht bij een metrostation, hierdoor kun je makkelijk naar het centrum of naar bezienswaardigheden. Het zwembad op het dak is fantastisch na een dag in de hitte. De omliggende buurt is niet geweldig, maar de route naar de metro s kort en veilig.

The location is great, in front of metro. We have a room with some view of Acropolis on the 7th floor which is nice.  But the hotel decor, amenities and service are just very standard. Free and strong- signal wifi is great. The roof garden was closed so we could enjoy their famous view on the top which is a bummer. The room has bathtub and standing […] shower with good amenities   If the towels were softer, we would have given 5 stars for this hotel.  Lees meer

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooftop was not open and that was a big disappointment. It was April and warm. Athens is full of smokers. The outside rooms with views are all smoking rooms. We faced the atrium, rather dull. They offered us an outside room, but the smoke smell was unbearable. The neighborhood is dull; however the metro is […] just across the street and extremely convenient. Lees meer

Nice hotel but too many traffic jam in the area: reach the hotel or to go out from the center it can take too much time especially if you are in a business trip

the quality and the service in the hotel every time is declining. if you take shower the full toilet will under water. The towel of the bath are like you in motel but you having charge as five 5 hotel Excelente breakfast. for 20 euros additionally. TV system is just local channel and if you dont speak greek is better to keep off. the internet service […] is excellent until 6pm o'clock then people is returning to the hotel and became to get slow.

Located in central Athens. Short trip to all majors. No parking, except for motorcycles/scooters which can park in front. Gym is a joke. Great view from the roof club/pool. good staff.

Very good deal for Athens. Only downside are the drug users that line the street that connects this with Omonoia. Also if I wanted to be picky i would also say the mattress is too firm. But still my #1choice

Overall, the Classical Athens Imperial was a good hotel. The view from the rooftop pool and bar was phenomenal. We spent several hours lounging by the pool with drinks in hand and enjoying the scenery. Prices are what you would expect at this type of location (high but not outrageous). The food was decent but service was slow. Our room was wonderful, […] except for the comfort of the bed… or lack thereof. It was hard and noisy but I have found this typical of European hotels so I didn’t take the rating down too much for it. Other than that, we loved the room. It was large, well furnished and clean. The hallway smelled of smoke but the room did not. The best part was the four-hands massage! The “spa room” is pathetic but the therapist were fantastic. The location was great for our purpose. It was right off the hop-on hop-off tour route but also walkable from most of the main tourist areas (15-30 minutes). For the price, I was satisfied with the hotel and would recommend it to others.

5 star hotel that has seen better days. Seem to have cut back on maintenance budget as a few things were not quite right in the room. Plus no hand soap provided! (another cutback?)

The hotel is convenient to get to on the metro, right outside the Metraxiough (not sure if spelled correctly) and just out of the main centre of athens. 10/15 mins in all to get to Syntagma Sq. We got a superior room so if I'm being honest I expected a bit more but it was extremely comfortable with a massive bed! Room a little small and no view in […] ours outher than the central atrium. Bathroom a good size and the shower was excellent. Loved it that there was a telephone next to the toilet. The roof top pool and pool bar are very nice and worth a visit. Cocktails and other drinks are a little pricey but that is hotels. View of the acropolis was good. Staff very friendly and helpful storing bags on checkout day. The overall visit was good with no outstanding features but none that were unsatisfactory. Lees meer

Good location. Close to the Metro transport. Easy to go to the Airport by Metro. Friendly staff. Free WiFi Old interior furnishing in need of an update renovation. There is some water issue with leaking water from shower recess door and from shower over bath flooding the bathroom floor. It is more like a 3 star than 5 star hotel.

We thought the hotel was in a good location as far as being close to the sites. There is a great view of the Acropolis from the roof of the hotel. The 2 complaints we had was that the bed was very hard, and the shower door in our room had a gap so the water leaked all over the floor. The staff was great and the hotel was clean.

Excellent hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Upgraded our room at no cost when we expressed disatisfaction with the allocated room. Conveniently located next to the metro which was very convenient and cheap. There is a kiosk right outside the hotel where most neccesities,including beer and wine, can be purchased at a fraction of the hotel price . Good […] and reasonably priced eating places are not more than 5 to 10 minutes away by metro. I read the reviews aindicating that the surrounding neighborhood was seedy,but I found no traces of that and we walked around late at night with no problem. Lees meer

sketchy surrounding neighborhood, and WAY to expensive food and beverages. Just buy beer and snakes from the kiosks on the street

This hotel is an a pretty good location. The clealiness of the actual hotel was great. The overall city area looked alright. About a 10 euro cab ride from the hotels, nice little gyro shop across the street (which was good). Not even a 5 minute walk from the subways which is the gateway to EVERYTHING! Maybe 3-4 stops from the Acropolis museum. Staff […] friendly and wi fi in rooms. Nice pool on the roof . Not going to down it but the bar was kind of overpriced and didnt give too much alcohol. The view of the Parthenon at night made up for it though. For the area, this hotel was definitely the nicest. Lees meer

It's an okay hotel, but the neighborhood is not nice, and that's a deal-breaker for me. It doesn't feel nice to be in the city when you're based in this area, which feels kind of seedy and vaguely unsafe. Though it is convenient by metro to the center (just a few stops), it didn't feel good to stay here. Also I found the layout of my room weird--plenty […] of space but laid out in such a way that it just felt wrong. Couldn't wait to get out of there. Uncomfortable bed, and everything felt a bit old and past its prime. Elevators were slow and felt like they might not make it all the way. Internet cut out entirely for two of the days I was there--even the business center internet didn't work during this time and I needed internet to work but was out of luck. The good points: service is friendly and pleasant, the food is quite good, and I guess they have a nice rooftop bar and pool, though I didn't have a chance to visit. But not at all worth the price paid, in the end. If it's cheap, fine. But there are many better options in Athens. Lees meer

The hotel seems to have a problem with water, and to be specific.. a licking water from the AC units. Very often there are buckets on the floor in corridors and no warning, so it's very easy to trip. The location is very good and close to the metro station. I had a great time overall and I would recommend this hotel.

The hotel has some of the largest rooms - the superior room - I have experienced in Athens - if not the largest. The bathroom has bot a bath tub and a shower and it is vary spacious. Internet was free and relatively fast - sometimes it was a bit slow. Greek taverna across the street with good food and reasonable prices. The view from the roof bar/pool […] area is spectacular. Next to the Metaxourgeion metro station - you can reach any destination through metro in a few minutes. You may decide to walk towards Omonia and Syntagma area - 5-15 minutes The carpet in the corridors need to change. I did not select the breakfast as I found it too expensive although it was the same price as most European hotels. Lees meer

excellent staff at this hotel - also whilst neighbourhood not perfect - great restaurant across the street - metro stop only a few metres away also hop on hop off bus stop next to metro - very handy

Was at the Special Olympics summer games this July and was looking for a hotel suitable for my family. Hotel is in the better part of Athens, lovely restaurant directly across the road. The hotel was a bit on the expensive side both food and drink wise and room cost. Area at night can be bit dangerous, wouldn't advise to go out alone. I experienced […] no problems but we stayed together when we went out. The hotel itself was clean and kept in good condition. The hotel is right beside the metro system but do advise you'll see more by walking as everything is close by. Lees meer

Good hotel bad location

This is NOT a five star hotel. I am a regular traveler, and I travel all over Europe all the time. This hotel is not a five star hotel by any standard. Although the staff are very nice and helpful, I had two major problems with this hotel. First, as you enter the hotel lobby, there is a huge smell of cigarette smoke which hits you in the face. It is […] really bad. Secondly, the bathroom in my room was filthy and had yellow and black mildew all over in the corners and around the tub. The shower door leaked at the bottom and after taking a quick shower, the entire floor of the bathroom was full of water. This is such an elementary issue which one should not encounter at even a three star hotel let alone a five star one. This hotel, is at best, a three star hotel. The breakfast was very nice though, and the staff very nice and professional. The location is also convenient as it is next to a metro station. In the same square where this hotel is located, there are a couple of other hotels that are better and offer lower prices, and because of that, and due to the above problems I mentioned, I would not stay at this hotel again. There are better choices. Lees meer

The Classical Imperial was very nice. Close to the metro so traveling wasn't a problems. The bed was very comfortable considering, my problems finding a bed to sleep on comfortable. My only issue was that the room was a little hot, but over all it was great...We received the room facing the intersection of the lobby. Although we did not have a nice […] view, the center of the lobby isn't a bad view either. The only thing I have to complain about was the heat, I would book this hotel again. Service was great, breakfast was great (keeping in mind this is a greek hotel breakfast) and location is great. Receptionist recommended some great restruants that were really great and only a 5 min walking distance. Lees meer

You'll enjoy this hotel. The staff goes out of their way to help. The location is less than a block away from the metro.

This is a good hotel in a bit of a bad neighborhood. The rooms are good size and the amenities are fine. It is convenient to the metro. The only drawback was the lack of good restaurants in the area and the quality of the people you encountered between the metro and the hotel. I would not say it was unsafe--but you needed to pay attention. There seemed […] to be an increased police presence in the area. Lees meer

The metro is close to hotel make u move very fast around the city

Spacious, clean room. Great location out of the caos, but right in front of metro...10 min. to all tourist attractions. Great, and cheap restaurant right across street or 2 euro gyro..2 hr. Laundry one block away.

Excellent hotel. I read some reviews around the area...but it's not bad...just located in a big city. Close to two metro stops, helpful staff, large, modern bathrooms (mine had an actual shower stall) which is rare in Greece...and the rooftop bar and view of the Acropolis is fabulous. Would definitely stay there again.

excellent hotel!! would highly recommend it!!!

The thing is I really think the hotel was indeed very good and a 5 star quality, however, when I left I had 2 hours before my flight leaves so I left my suitcase at the storage with the reception staff and was at the coffee area waiting, when i got to my next destination I was shocked to find they STOLE a new perfume Chanel I just bought, when I saw […] it I got so upset of course went right away to buy a new one, but so much regreting for not locking my suitcase at all time, I didn't think you need to in 5 stars hotel where they shall have cameras and more professional staff.. I learn my lesson.. Lees meer

This was a great place to stay for my first trip to Athens. The hotel is located just across the street from a metro station that easily connects to the airport line. This became a very important issue as I found myself stuck in Greece for an extra night so I made a few trips to/from the airport, The staff helped make the most of my unexpected stay […] by providing towels and directing me to the tram which took me to the beach. Easy, easy, easy! As for the hotel itself- I loved it. It has a funky/eclectic vibe, but easily catered to all ages. The property is well maintained and staffed. My room had only a partial view of the Acropolis and the city, but was clean and well stocked with everything I needed. They've thought of everything including providing electrical adapters (5 euros, but refunded upon return) for my laptop/phone. The free wireless internet connection was sometimes very weak, but worked most of the time including on the roof top pool deck area. In addition to the incredible view, which speaks for itself- hanging out on the roof is a nice way to spend and end your day in Athens. I did not try the hotel food, but did enjoy a cocktail by the pool. It was average, but did its job of cooling me off. I prefered to go across the street and grab a bite at the only eatery in the area. A Greek friend, also visiting Athens agreed that this place made a nice gyros. This hotel was the most bang I got for my American dollar while in Greece. I would (and have already)recommended it to other friends planning a trip to Athens. Lees meer

The Hotel definately offered such value for money. The hotel was clean, comfortable and the staff were amazing. The only downside is the location. Its in the heart of Athens, which is pretty dirty and derelict. If you can look past that, than this hotel is a definate winner!

This was a very comfortable hotel and conveniently located near a metro station. The staff was very helpful and the roof pool/bar has a fantastic view of the Acropolis, especially at night. An unexpected bonus for us was the laundry that was located about 2 blocks away. The area is not ideal but the metro is right across the street from the hotel and […] very easy to use. For 6 Euros you can take it to the airport. I would definitely recommend this hotel and return if I am lucky enough to get back to Athens. Lees meer
