Sofitel Athens Airport

Sofitel Athens Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing hotel right next to Athens airport. They upgraded us to executive room because we were celebrating my husband’s birthday . They also sent us bottle of wine and chocolates. The olive oil products in the bathroom by Olive Era are simply amazing. The roof top bar has spectacular views of the city. We had our dinner there - I had the John Dory fish , which was delicious and hubby had beef short ribs . Overall our stay at Sofitel was fantastic. "
