Stone Palace Hotel Near Athen's Airport Free Shuttle from and to Athen's Airport

The free shuttle was a scam! They charged us $15 euro for the shuttle back to the airport when we checked in, then when the time came for the shuttle, no one showed up and we had to call an uber at the last minute to avoid missing our flight.

BUYER BEWARE!…. VERY DECEPTIVE MARKETING AND UNPROFESSIONAL We arrived to no staff on site, also no other guests onsite! Parking lot Full of cars. Two sets of luggage left unattended in the Lobby. No one on site. We called out a number of times…”HELLO! “ with no response. My husband phoned the Hotel and was told by a female “ I’ll be there in ten minutes”. We waited and finally a very casually dressed woman and her two friends arrived at the hotel. The female desk clerk was insistent that we give her our credit card information. We asked to see the room first. She said “ You can’t see the room, until you check in and PAY”. We insisted we see the room first before giving her any personal information. She gave us the key to the room. As we climbed the steps to the first landing, there was a huge pile of unlaundered used bedding….we climbed another floor of stairs, and again a huge pile of used unlaundered bedsheets were on the landing. We had to step over a plastic pan of cleaning items in the middle of the hallway as we approached our room. With all of this, there was not one sighting of other guests. We returned to the lobby and politely told her we wouldn’t be staying. She then told us we owed her for the night’s stay. My husband said “No!”. With that we left. Later my husband said he had noticed most of the cars in the Stone Palace parking lot were actually unused junkyard vehicles. I believe the two sets of luggage that we saw in the lobby were there for appearances only, to make potential customers THINK there are guests either arriving or leaving this establishment. What reputable Hotel would leave their customers luggage unattended and not secure. BEWARE! We left and were able to be helped by the company we rented our car from AUTO UNIONRENTAL. They were extremely friendly and helpful and not only found us accommodations nearby, but one of the staff drove us to our Hotel.
