Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Ambiance: A Symphony of Opulence Visited the bar with friends on a special occasion last week. As we stepped into the exquisite hall, our senses were immediately captivated. Crystal chandeliers dripped from the ceiling like frozen raindrops, casting a warm glow on the polished marble floors. The walls, adorned with timeless art, whispered stories of grandeur and history. We settled into plush velvet chairs, anticipation dancing in our eyes. Our cocktails and sweets were served by equally elegant waitresses. We enjoyed everything we had. This was a truly memorable evening in this amazing place of Grecian elegance! A must visit place!

Absolutely wonderful stay in all aspects. Perfect location, walkable to everything and on the metro. Elegant but comfortable rooms. Wonderful breakfast served in the stunning winter garden. But the best part is the hotel staff. The staff went above and beyond from simple things like walking directions with safety tips to making sure we had an umbrella on a rainy day and, most importantly, rushing my passport to me at the airport when I accidentally left it in the room! Recommend wholeheartedly.

We had an incredible stay here. Our host, George, made sure we were in an incredible room overlooking the main square in Athens. The service in the hotel was outstanding. We reserved it for the location, but we’ll come again because of the people. I also highly recommend the afternoon tea and the cocktails. Overall a perfect stay.

Very smart hotel with, most times, pleasant service. We arrived late (after 1am) and the welcome was cold which was not expected from a hotel of this standard, and there was no help with luggage. We had a small cleanliness problems with our allocated room, and were upgraded without much fuss. It was a birthday trip and when the staff knew that, they provided complementary champagne for our suite. The hotel is very well situated for the main sights in central Athens, and the Concierge was helpful recommending restaurants. There are many nearby, including a number of Japanese restaurants (which made for a bit of variety). The main restaurant at the top of the building, where breakfast is served, has amazing views toward the Acropolis and to the Parliament building and square in front. The breakfast was very good, with dishes from a menu, and a well-stocked varied buffet. There is a very smart bar near the main lobby, with friendly staff and a good selection of wines and cocktails. There is an outside swimming pool but it is only open in high season.

I managed to fit in a night at the Grande Bretagne on a recent visit to Athens. This was not my first stay, and staying here is always a special treat. I'm fortunate in that I have always been spoiled with lovely upgrades and the service of dedicated butlers to assist with whatever I may require. I know full well how privileged I am to be able to enjoy the luxury of beautiful surroundings with great views and wonderful culinary experiences. Staff go above and beyond, just as they do in their sister property next door. I can't wait to return and see what renovations have been done to the Roof Garden. Whatever they do, the view of the Acropolis will still be spectacular. Nothing beats breakfast with such a view, unless it's a cocktail with said view in the evening.

Classic grand hotel representing the best of the old school, the Grande Bretagne is a palace replete with reminders of a better age. High praise to Theodore, a top notch butler who carries out his duties with panache and genuine warmth. With such a palpably historic feel, two swimming pools, a rooftop restaurant and cigar lounge, this is an extraordinary grand hotel. Check-in through the butler floor reception was a breeze. The corner Executive Acropolis Suite had an expansive wrap around terrace with sweeping views of parliament and the Acropolis. Despite the hotel being fully booked, each member of staff efficiently and politely handled various requests. Concierge staff (Matthew, Paul and Nicholas) did a superb job arranging for limousine service from the airport, transport to Soil for dinner, a multisite excursion and other transfers. Once again, Theodore was clearly an extensively well trained and capable butler. His depth of experience and knowledge of the property was impressive and added to the stay. Additional thanks to Lucas, an exceptional driver who knows the area well - along with Christine, who provided expert guidance along the way. Will book a stay here again, and will not hesitate to recommend the Grand Bretagne to friends and associates.

We had a lovely room overlooking the Syntagma Square. Very comfortable and we were very well looked after. Overall, there was little to fault. The only slight problem was that there was a slightly unpleasant smell in the bathroom which did not get resolved. But the staff were all lovely and we would certainly highly recommend this hotel. She is a grand lady in the traditional style.

The Hotel Grande Bretagne is a luxury hotel located in the heart of Athens. From the moment you step into this hotel you feel the 5-stars, from the door men offering to help with luggage to the opulence of the lobby - beautifully decorated for the holidays. The front desk staff awaited with full smiles that felt warm and welcoming. We were escorted to a private check in area on an upper floor to complete our check in experience - a VIP touch that made us feel very appreciated. This trip was a high point redemption from Marriott. We worked hard (and spent a lot) to earn this trip and the hotel staff showed their appreciation that we picked their hotel. Olga met us at the VIP check in area, offered us an arrival champagne, and quickly checked us in then escorted us to our room to be sure that we were happy with the upgrade. The room was large and well appointed. The styling was a bit gaudy for me but everything was of the upmost quality. Our only complaint was the tiny shower. The Concierge team (Olga, AdA, Vasalise, and others) along with the service team (to include Marios) were all super friendly and accommodating. The outdoor terrace was absolutely beautiful. We had 3 meals there and often found ourselves there at the end of the day for a night cap. The location of this hotel is directly across from Syntagma metro station with a direct rail link to the airport. You can't get more centrally located. I'll be rating this hotel with 5 stars. Everything about this hotel impressed us and nothing disappointed us.
