Radisson Blu Park Hotel, Athens

It was a great hotel with excellent staff and great location 5 min walk to the metro and as well as the very nice Archaeological Museum. I highly recommend this hotel.

Everything was as described. No surprises, the people at the hotel were very polite and helpful. Overnight parking was available in reasonable cost.

Cons: The hotel was all right for Europe with a small room that needed some serious updating (the walls had canvas) and the lobby was much smaller than the pictures make it appear. The hallways are strange and dark. The closest station has been closed for over a year so the location seems worse than it is. Pros: The breakfast was really good and the front desk staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. The room was clean and we had a great view of the park Summary: Athens in general more resembles a city in South America than the rest of Europe and this hotel is no exception. The staff helps to make up for the aging feel of the hotel, but definitely not the luxury one would find in other "four star" hotels in Europe

Staff was very helpful. This was a one night reservation. The staff arranged to have a cab pick me up to go to the airport. It was on time.

Hotel has been "modernized" new lobby, dining (breakfast) now on 8th floor, lobby now looks a cheap motel in USA. We have stayed in the Park Hotel for years--a first class, older hotel with great service, Large beautifully decorated rooms with nice bath etc. Now it has no character. Great location for our travel through Athens to the Volos area. (We are native Greeks and know our way around quite well). Also note that there are several "Park" hotels in Athens area. Need somehow to differentiate. We used the street address.

Interesting experience. Adjacent metro stop was closed, not their fault. We ended up using #15 trolley bus to Syntagma. Worked well if OK with occ. waits. We were interested in Nat. Arch. Museum, worked great! Surprise was great (not cheap) rooftop restaurant. Pool was good; closed at 18:00 for poolside dinner service. We had construction on going, little noise before 09:30. We got a good rate possibly related to offers due to construction.

Room was a smoker room. The neighborhood in which it is located is not particularly central, but more importantly the hotel is not located in a very nice neighborhood. As in some other areas of central Athens, there is a lot of graffiti, but also homeless people, and even prostitution in areas near to the hotel, and we were advised by our taxi driver not to go into the park opposite to the hotel. The rooms and much of the rest of the hotel would definitely benefit from some TLC. Many of the details that make the difference between a 3-, 4-, and 5-star category hotel were just not there to justify its 5-star categorization.

Rather far from center Athens for walking.

Basic Dislikes :- Internet costs 12 Euros per day. IMO, this should be free for such a hotel. My bathtub leaks water and the bathroom floor was always wet. annoying. Breakfast was the same every morning for 10 days. Location is not great. Expensive. Was removating partly when i stayed there in Jun 2010. Likes :- Relatively clean, Service was excellent. Very polite and great service staff i must say. Nice restaurant on the 8th floow. Superb view of the acropolis and lycabettus.

our stay was for one night, however we did have dinner which was very good. the view was great. and the staff was very good.
