Unjustifiable prices

Undoubtedly a lovely hotel but grabs your money at every opportunity. Internet is extra and expensive. No kettle in the rooms so tea or coffee requires room service. Limited minibar. I'm sorry but I won't be going back !

True Athens Rivera - private crystal beach

This is a really special place. Firstly the Lemos area of Kavouri is not like any other part of Athens - it is like the garden of Eden of Athens - true Athens Riviera. secondly i cant comment on the main hotel because we stayed in a bungalow suite - this is really special because it was bigger than our apartment in Bristol - marble bath tub sunk into the ground, balconies with deck chairs and walk down to crystal clear waters of the private beach.

Amazing hotel, steps to an stellar beach!

I loved every day and every moment I stayed at Astir Palace. If you like a stellar 5 star hotel with access to great food, people, shopping and shuttles into the city of Athens...it's well worth the price.

Nice hotel but expected more

Preferred the Westin Astir which is in the same complex. It's a nice hotel but nothing special in my own eyes and dinner was super expensive for what you get in return.

An Exceptional Stay and Experience!

The hotel stay was exceptional. The staff was wonderful. The rooms had the greatest views, clean and comfortable. The food was great. The resort was a "5 Star"! We flew into Athens that day and went directly to the hotel and the check in after a long flight was smooth, pleasant and quick. Watching the sunset made our first day in Greece very special. Highly recommended.

Pampered

The Arion was a pleasure. We stayed here for our first few days in Athens and enjoyed the pampering. The Hotel staff was AMAZING. The facilities were fantastic. Dinner at sunset at Mastuhisa was perfect. Looking forward to our next stay!

City escape

Loved this resort. A perfect place to get away from Athens proper. We stayed here prior to a cruise, got acclimated, toured Athens and embarked on our journey. The restaurants were great, the staff delightful and the scenery just beautiful.

Jewel of the Athenian riviera

We stayed for 2 nites before leaving for a cruise. It was a perfect way to chat jet lag and experience a resort a mere 30 minutes from Athens. We toured the city prior to embarking on the ship. A perfect way to start a great vacation.

Short stay at Arion

The hotel was beautiful and overall I had a fantastic experience. When we arrived the reception was very chaotic and no one seemed to notice we were there. Furthermore, we arrived a little early and left our bags on the reception for a check in at 3pm where they promised to call us once the room is ready. We never received the call and had to go back to reception to get an update. I am not sure whether the team was short staffed or there were some operational issues but in comparison to the other hotels at the same spec the service has been a lot more alert and helpful. We finally checked in the room- this was 45 min late and it was unfortunate as we had a wedding to go to and it meant that we had a delay. The room had few things missing but it was probably because they did not have enough time to set it up. Apart from the chaotic reception, the hotel and the facilities were beautiful and comfortable. The bar staff was absolutely lovely and very sympathetic and so were the beach staff. Regardless of the reception service, I would go back and it was a beautiful couple of days. I would reccomend the place but just to keep an open mind on the responsiveness of the reception.

5 STAR HOTEL IN 1950, NOT SO IN 2015!

I asked to be moved to the sister hotel next door called The Westin, as The Arion Hotel needed renovation urgently. The mattress had permanent dents. The bed pillows were all but destroyed. The interior was classic 50's decor which had shown wear and tear and and hadn't been maintained. The guests were very, very old. The hotel felt in desperate need for an over-haul. Even the staff were beyond retirement age. My first impression at check-in was with a cold, disinterest from a young (compared to the other seniors working at the hotel) receptionist who proceeded mechanically and emotinless to check me into my room without hardly any eye to eye contact. Then, when ready to be shown my room after a long and exhausting trip to Athens, was handed my room key and and pointed in the direction of the lift, luggage and all! The Arion Resort and Spa Hotel, is NOT a luxury 5 star hotel in 2015! Maybe it was in 1950?

This is a beautiful resort by the sea.

We rented two bungalows, and they were spacious and had fantastic views of the sea. There are a bunch of yummy restaurants that you can dine at each day for all meals. The staff are very nice and helpful.
