Sofitel Athens Airport
"Hotel was the nicest of our entire trip in Greece. The staff were very helpful and polite. The bed was very comfortable and room was clean. Jennys restaurant on the roof was one of the best places I’d ever eaten. I would HIGHLY recommend even if you are not staying at the hotel."

Athens Studios
"The shower was that ridiculous style where it’s just in the bathroom, no curtain/wall/ divider so the floor was constantly wet and you can’t keep toiletries in the bathroom. Other than that inconvenience, decent place a central location."

Only downsides were it would have been nice to have more towels, and maybe access to an extra pillow or blankets. Also the bathroom door is frosted glass and there is a gap between the door and the frame. Otherwise ..."
