Athens Atrium Hotel and Suites

The idea of the hotel should have been very good at the beginning when it was built - the entrance, the reception area and the lobby are very nice, there's a comfy sitting area and even a fountain. The rooms are equipped with everything that a 4-star hotel should have - a tea/coffee set, a minibar, all toiletries, bathrobes, slippers, etc. There're 3 extra pillows and 2 blankets. The beds are very convenient. The heating in the bathroom is good. There's really a hydromassage shower as stated in the description. But...everything requires maintenance. Urgently!

1. Breakfast was so poor! There were no boiled eggs even, no porrige, no nuts. The vegetable corner was limited with several pieces of tomato, cucumber, olives and feta cheese - all enough for one person to make a salad, but not for a whole hotel. It is definitely not worth paying for. In 2-star hotels breakfasts are better. 2. Very very old appliances in the room - the electric kettle was broken, it had a crack along the side and the lead was not attached, it was falling down so that one can get burnt when pouring hot water. The hydromassage shower had a broken switch, in addition the hydromassage is aimed for a person not less than 180 cm high (for a shorter one the upper streams will be directed right into the eyes). The furniture is very old and needs maintenance. 3. The cleaning is very strange. There were just a few rooms, but the maid was absent somewhere when we were at breakfast, and thereafter when we left the hotel, but when after 2 p.m. we returned, she appeared to clean, so that we had to leave the room again. As a result we returned and found our dirty cups in the corridor near the window. She has just forgotten about them!
