IC Athenaeum
What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Plat ambassador.
Were you happy with the hotel/stay?
Eventually.
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
King Club. Initially given same with a view of Acropolis and told this is the upgrade. Disputed it and subsequently moved to Junior suite.
How are the rooms?
While the King club is acceptable, the a/c was ineffective and the room fittings in poor condition. Raised this with maintenance.
Junior suite is surprisingly large with walk in closet and double entrance door.
What was your welcome gift?
Standard fruit bowl, litre of water and box of chocolates. Have two now!
How is the exec. lounge?
Fine. Nice terrace with view over Athens.
What was good and what was bad?
See above...
Value for $? Would you return?
Average per night is 215 euros. Not cheap for the region. My second stay here and not so convenient location so may give the Crowne Plaza a shot next time.
