This hotel is great if you need to spend a night in Athens between flights. The shuttle was on time and the appartement clean, with some attentions like coffee and wine. However it is not luxurious, nor in a prime location. It is functional and not expensive. It gets the job done.
I chose to stay there for a night because it offered a free shuttle 24h to the airport. The hotel is close to the airport but ot at a walkable distance from the center of Athens were many sites are.
The water heater leaked profusely and caused water all over the bathroom floor which I was then told to deal with. The room is also very cold and you cannot adjust the heat. This is very obvious an office suite that was converted into a room and overall was not great. The shuttle was the only plus.
I overlooked the fact that GK Airport Suites - Free Shuttle is a self-check in establishment in the middle of nowhere. Big mistake.
Upside:
Location to airport
Shuttle
Downside:
Shuttle â multiple messages to establishment via the Hotelcom booking page about shuttle details were ignored, no response. After several calls, I eventually reached an agent. Apparently, pick up and drop off location and times could not be forwarded as the booking app did not allow it. Ultimately a link to WhatsApp was created. Amateur.
Fiddly box-on-wall with no exterior lighting to gain keys and access to the building.
Bleak apartment â table, bed, tv with no channels, basic bathroom, no heating.
Conclusion:
GK Airport Suites reminded me of hostel type accommodation 40 years ago. I regret paying an astonishing âŹ97.29 for this. Unless you have a very late arrival (I did) or a very early departure then choose a decent hotel somewhere convenient.
There is no reception the key was in a post office box with instructions. We only needed it for one night as our flight was next day . For longer stay not advisable.
The room looked nothing like it did in the picture... The beds were uncomfortable, and there's no way more than 3 people can sleep there. Definitely wouldn't recommend.
On top of that, the shuttle on the way there was late and the one on the way back to the airport left early, so we had no way of getting to the airport and caught our flight by the skin of our teeth with a taxi.
The room was akward in set up. It was just a place for us to rest our heads close to the airport, but a bit disappointing. The shower was awkward and the water went all over the floor. The coffee machine needs a lot of cleaning. We decided not to use it. We appreciated the shuttle and it could be a cute place. Just needs some attention.
