Hotwire Hotel: ATH Athens (Greece) airport identification help!

[jmacleantaylor]

Good evening,

I used the HOTWIRE link on Better Bidding to find a hotel in the Attica Road-Athens Airport zone. Hotwire returns a result for a 5-star hotel for USD $112, for the night of September 19 (checking out Sep 20), with the following amenities:

Free Parking

Indoor pool(s)

Airport Shuttle <-- This makes me worry that it could not be the Sofitel (which is my preference) because the Sofitel is so close to the airport that I doubt they would run a shuttle. The hotel website says they're 50 meters from the terminal)

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

Laundry Facilities (self-service)

High-Speed Internet Access

Interestingly, Hotwire says that this hotel has a 90% ranking on Trip Advisor. The Sofitel currently has 85%, while the Holiday Inn Attica Road Airport West currently has a measly 56%. Not sure how much weight the TripAdvisor percentage has in identifying the property over all.

Thank you for your help!

All the best,

James

Welcome to BetterBidding :)

Best guess would be Holiday Inn ATHENS-ATTICA AVENUE hotel.

Interestingly, Hotwire says that this hotel has a 90% ranking on Trip Advisor.

The HOTWIRE recommend in % are based on HOTWIRE reviews and not the TA recommendations in %. This is two diffrent things.

Not sure how much weight the TripAdvisor percentage has in identifying the property over all.

None, the TA % and the HOTWIRE % shouldn't be a factor when ID hotels. We see the HOTWIRE % change from search to search sometimes.

Please remember to use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board and let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help with this stay.

PS. please remember to follow-up this thread with whatever you end up doing for this trip, even if you don't use PRICELINE or HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc.
