Great Stay – Much Better Than the Reviews Suggest
We stayed at the Radisson Blu Athens for six nights and were honestly puzzled by the many negative reviews we had read beforehand. While the hotel may not be brand new, our overall experience was very positive and far exceeded our expectations.
We were upgraded to a Junior Suite with a stunning view of the Acropolis and received all VIP perks thanks to our status. A complimentary bottle of wine welcomed us in the room — a thoughtful touch that set a great tone for the stay.
The hotel is indeed a bit dated in terms of decor, but everything works as it should — and when service, cleanliness, and hospitality are at this level, the age of the interior becomes rather irrelevant. The room and bathroom were spotless clean, as were all common areas. Bed linen was changed twice during our six-day stay, and everything felt fresh and well-maintained.
The staff throughout the hotel were kind and professional — from the bellboy and front desk to the breakfast and bar teams.
The morning buffet was far above typical Greek standards, with plenty of variety and attentive service.
A real highlight is the rooftop pool and bar area — a wonderful place to unwind with great views and a calm atmosphere. The staff here, too, were magnificent: welcoming, service-minded, and always on point.
The gym was well-equipped and clean, and the hotel is located in a more authentic, less touristy part of the city, which we appreciated.
Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money, with warm hospitality, high standards of cleanliness, and reliable service throughout. We would happily stay here again.
