We have stayed at the HI Express Athens multiple times. It suits us very well. The staff members are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is excellent. The rooms are thoughtfully designed: in-room safe, lots of plugs for electronic devises, both firm and soft pillows, good hanging and drawer space, enough room for two suitcases on the suitcase shelf. Highly recommended.

The check in was okay but we were surprised by the $10 parking fee. Room was clean except mildew on bottom of shower curtain. Toilet rocked terribly when you sat down or got up. Room had a very Stale odor. Not cleared by running the A/C.
