The Bottom Line
Have to stay at the airport? This is a great place to be. Service is courteous, rooms and amenities are excellent, and the location can't be beat if you want to stay in the airport area. Hungry as well as tired? The Mesoghaia restaurant is always open and they also offer 24-hour room service. Karavi, the more upscale restaurant, is well-reviewed and considered to be a cut above most hotel restaurants.

Guide Review - The Sofitel Hotel at the Athens International Airport
Service at the Sofitel is courteous, even to fairly bedraggled travelers just grabbing a drink and a seat at the lobby bar. Therooms and amenities are excellent, and the location can't be beat if you want to stay in the airport area. Hungry as well as tired? The Mesoghaia restaurant is always open and they also offer 24-hour room service. Karavi, the more upscale restaurant, is well-reviewed and considered to be a cut above most hotel restaurants.
