Holiday Inn Athens Attica Av. Airport West by IHG

8/10 Good
"The main reason we stayed there was the price. It was very respectable for what we needed. We landed in Athens in an evening and our flight was the next morning so it did the job. It had free shuttle service but only runs ones in an hour we had to wait almost an hour. It is very prompt in the morning because you make a reservation what time you need to leave to the airport the night before. So overall out recommended."
