This was our first time in Athens and Hotel Indigo did not disappoint. It was beautifully decorated and the rooms have a "wow" factor. The beds are comfortable and everything felt clean and well maintained. The front desk person who checked us in was very nice and allowed us to check in early, which was very much appreciated after being on the road for six hours. We had complimentary breakfast vouchers, and it was delicious. We will definitely stay at Hotel Indigo again!
