We have just returned and need to put people right of the good and bad points of this hotel. Do not go B&B or half board as it will cost you a fortune there is nowhere else to eat except at the hotel and you will be charged a fortune at least 25 Euros... read more

We booked this hotel last minute for a 1 week sun-break and not a main holiday. After booking I read the reviews and was very worried, in fact I would have cancelled if I could have got our money back. The holiday turned out great and I would have no... read more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a week at the beginning of May 2005. Before we went we read many negative reviews about it and sensed even at this point that most of these had been written by whingers. We were right. This is an immaculate... read more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Athina Palace for one week during September 2004. We had a decent time. We did not think the hotel was 5*. We did, however, think it was 4* or top class 3*.

There have been many criticisms of this hotel. I believe that is due to it being rated as 5*. It is definitely NOT 5* so when we went expecting 5* standard we were disappointed. If it had been classed as 3* then we would have been satisfied and... read more
