Stayed in Grand Bretagne for 4 nights for a leisure holiday. It is hailed as the best hotel in Athens and I can see why – with its history, grand architecture, luxurious décor and timeless atmosphere, not to say the best view of the Acropolis from the Roof Garden bar/restaurant. The hotel exudes style with its elegant lobby, restaurants, beautifully... more

We had a nice room with a balcony which looked out on to the Acropolis (somewhat in the distance though) to the right and the parliament building close by on the left. During our visit, the elections were on so the square below was a hive of activity with political party stands and supporters, which added to the general atmosphere.... more

We stayed for 3 nights at the beginning of September. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and extremely clean. The room was very nice - good size, clean, comfortable bed, great bathroom. All-in-all, we had a wonderful stay. That being said, there were a couple of issues that did annoy us some. -The concierge desk was not very helpful and at... more

My husband and I stayed here as the first stop on our 2-week trip in May. I wrote ahead to let them know it was our 10-year anniversary and Maria really pulled out all the stops. When we checked in we were told that we had been upgraded and our dinner reservation on the rooftop garden was confirmed. When we... more

The hotel is in a great location is very nice to the eye. However, the service was extremely poor (e.g., turn down service was not provided, no bellman was provided to remove luggage, rude staff, bill was in error). The hotel staff made this hotel a extremely unpleasant stay. Never stay here. They are 2 other hotels next door. more

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights on our honeymoon and definitely have no complaints about the hotel, its spa, or its location. It is located directly in Syntagma Square which is a great central location (bus #95 goes from the airport to Syntagma Square and back-- trip takes about an hour one way depending on traffic, also... more

This hotel is in a great location. Walking distance to all the sites and the Plaka. Nice pool area. Not a modern hotel, more ornate. Great restaurant for cocktails with view of Acropolis - we did not eat dinner there but did have a few drinks. A really nice hotel. more

Stayed one night here in September. Usually stay in another hotel out of Athens as a work trip but as I wanted to see something of the city (a rarity on business trips) so I plumped for the hotel in the centre. Visti started off well with an upgrade to a deluxe room on the butler floor. A complimentary glass... more

We enjoyed our stay at the Grande Bretagne. The hotel was very organized about advance requests for a tour guide, restaurant reservations, transfers, etc. The location was quite central w/ easy access to key sites. Acropolis was within walking distance or one metro stop away. Plaka and designer shopping areas were near hotel. Would stay again. more
