IC Atheneum Athens

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
King Club, got King Club with Acropolis view

How are the rooms?
Decent size, slightly old fashioned. Blue decor with dark brown wood.

How is the exec. lounge?
I thought it was nice with outside balcony and Acropolis view. There are free to use binoculars attached to railing which you can use to view Acropolis closer.

Morning spread was quite small but had all the necessary things and it changed from day to day, same with tea time. Evening spread was good and enough for a meal if you're so inclined.

What was good and what was bad?
Good.
Staff very helpful and quick to fix things (they had forgotten extra bed to our room and it was fixed in 5 minutes).
Pool was nice after long day of walking although maybe bit too warm
Overall a nice stay

Bad.
Well, upgrade is bit weak although it is one category as per rules. I am not certain if I am happy with that rule where view or desirable room or whatever makes it one category but that is more of an IHG issue I suppose.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?[/QUOTE]
200€ Club room rate is ok value esp. for three persons.

There were 1 litre waterbottle, fruit basket and 3 bars of soap as Ambassador gift
