Try http://www.tripadvisor.com/ - they have excellent reviews of hotels
and a price-comparison engine. Never been to Greece, but used allrez.com to book a hotel in Amsterdam last year and was very pleased with the results.

need help athens,greece airport hotel
Nan, you are asking about the hotel at Athens International Airport? You probably are referring to the SOFITEL, it is the only hotel right at the new airport.......and it is a very fine one, luxury class. No, for Athens, the price of $250 is not expensive for luxury class....this summer the typical luxury class such as the newly renovated Hilton, and Grande Bretagne are starting out at about $450 and up..... Yes, you can find less expensive hotels in central Athens.......BUT......let's say you get a less expensive, but still good quality hotel for about $175 ..........now, you have to add on the taxi fare both going to it and again back to the airport. The taxi will cost you about 25 Euros minimum, about $30 each way (you pay an additional fee for each piece of luggage and also during late hours, a "night" supplement )......so if you add on that additional sixty plus dollars to your $175,,,,,,well you are not saving that much....plus you need an additional hour to get down to the central hotel and an hour to get back to the airport........less rest for you...... Taxis are plentiful in Athens.....unless, and it pains me to say this......unless they are on strike or work stoppage.....which happens all too often............ If you can manage it, I still would recommend the SOFITEL at the airport.... Hope your trip is a good one........ANGELICA |
