Super conveniently located directly across from the Athens International Airport. Our plane was delayed and didn't arrive after 1am, so I was very appreciative of the complementary upgrade to a 7th floor executive-level room with two queen beds (Thanks Sofitel staff!!) Once the door was closed, no noise from the airport or guests could be heard in our room. Beds were super comfortable with clean white duvets. Appropriate amount of furniture for a business hotel (sitting areas, desk, TV stand, closet). Our bathroom was large with separate L-shaped shower/tub combo and Hermes toiletries. Free Wi-Fi that is appropriate for email and checking basic website is provided at no additional cost, and higher bandwidth service is available for a fee. There is a restaurant (open 24-hours) and bar onsite in the lobby. Other than that, besides the airport, there is nothing else to see, eat, or do in the immediate vicinity. This hotel is not inexpensive, we booked our room 3 weeks before it trip and paid around 250 euros/ night for a basic room, so you are paying a premium for a nice hotel that is adjacent to the airport. To anyone that's arriving late or has an early flight out of Athens, stay at the Sofitel and save yourself about 1.5 hours of time and 80 euros for not having to make a round trip into downtown Athens.
