Great hotel, beautiful view of acropolis. Breakfast had great variety. However, its is about 10-15min drive to top tourist spots.

The Stanley
Pool area and rooftop restaurant were great. Room were tired and needed a refresh. Breakfast was ok, not a big choice and many tables were left uncleared after guests had left.

Sofitel Athens Airport
The property and staff service was excellent. Breakfast bar provided good options. I found it difficult to modify my reservation via Expedia. It was cumbersome and not convenient.
