Athens Intercontinental review
I think I'm using the proper flair
Sorry in advance for my bland review 😅
Me and my wife stayed at the intercontinental in Athens over the weekend for our honeymoon, it was a quick stay but it was enjoyable. They acknowledged my status like 6 times and that was kinda annoying but that's expected I guess 🤷♀️ anyway we got an upgrade to one of their renovated rooms, my expectations were low and I wasn't too blown away, but still fun. Nice view of Acropolis from the rooftop.
We got drink coupons, sadly it was just for beer wine or soda, not for cocktails, but I can't complain.
I wasn't a fan of the shower with no door, I'm a clown and spray water everywhere and an added floor drain would be a good touch for all the water that gets everywhere, the rain showerhead and wand settings were fun to mess with and I was a fan of the green tile.
The surrounding areas of the hotel were in my wife's words "filthy, but not unsafe... During the day" There was a sign and we followed to a restaurant was a fun Grill House, definitely not a fancy fancy place but you can get a really good cheap meal for under 10€ depending what you order. I would highly recommend.
Got to explore Acropolis and the ruins and wander around town.
Overall I think Athens was decent, hotel overall was good, might not stay again due to cost and being so far from the airport
