It was pretty fabulous I give the staff 15/10 they were that good! From the doormen to the staff at the gift shop they were knowledgeable and always ready to spring into action. The doorman every time we get to the door had a nice word for us and direction to our destination, the concierge recommended tons of great restaurants for us to sample like locals. lol...The hotel smells so good I bought the lobby scent at the gift shop to bring home (ah sue me lol) We were able to enjoy jazz night Wednesday (very very good) the only thing the restaurant on the 8th floor was closed for renovation but we were able to go next door on the 7th floor bar for drinks and enjoy the view of the Acropolis at night a must see. I will stay there again next year.

This is an iconic hotel and where I always stay when I come to Athens. The pool and the restaurant on the roof with the view of the Acropolis can't be beat! It is also in the center of everything and the staff are all amazing. This hotel is definitely in need of a major makeover, however, as the rooms are very tired looking and way overpriced for what you get. They probably have not been changed on over 30 years. I still love this hotel, but hope that they put some money back into soon!

I stayed with my wife and 7-year-old daughter at the Grand Bretagne Hotel in Athens in March, and I can honestly say it was without a doubt the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The hotel staff was friendly, helpful, and professional throughout our stay. Our suite was spacious, beautifully designed, and spotlessly clean. Although the rooftop was under renovation during our stay (according to their site, expected to end at 5 April 2024), we enjoyed every minute at the hotel, from the friendly service to the perfect location and the wonderful facilities.

This is a true 5 star hotel in the old fashioned sense. In every touch with customers the Grande Bretagne hotel and staff strives to be perfect and welcoming. I particularly enjoyed the indoor swimming pool which is just adequately sized to swim laps. 14 metres. The views from 8th floor restaurant and bar is second to non. View over Syntagma Square, first row seats to chance of guards by Parliament, Lycabettos hill, and most spectacular view to Acropolis and the Parthenon, and beyond, the sea and Aegina. The staff deserves a special mention for being amazing and so helpful!

This hotel truly lived up to its name, Grande, and was definitely worth the price tag. The location is excellent, offering easy walking access to the hop-on hop-off bus (directly across the road), Attica department store, Ermou Street for shopping, and many other attractions. Breakfast was outstanding — the freshest and tastiest we’ve had, both from the buffet and the à la carte menu. The rooftop views across Athens were absolutely beautiful. The staff were exceptional; Katrina at breakfast remembered our usual order from our very first visit, and her professionalism was a wonderful start to each day. The only area for improvement would be the guest rooms, which would benefit from renovation. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Athens. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality 🙂

The hotel is stunning, the private butler service is fantastic, The rooms Are starting to a look at little bit tired and need some modernisation. There are often wine glasses and things being left on the small table outside of the rooms which clearly did not belong to the rooms. Not quite worth €1500 a night!
