Stayed two nights in the Grande Bretagne Hotel in October 2011. Kept pinching myself that I wasn't dreaming. Seven years earlier when my two sisters and I were in Athens we could only admire the Grande Bretagne from afar. It was the year of the Olympics and we were staying in a small hotel in the Plaka. Regarding this trip,... More

This is an hotel not to miss if you have a chance of visiting Athens on business or pleasure. The hotel is old and stylish and the service is excellent. Local is top notch. Most of all, the rooftop bar/cocktail lounge has a stunning view over the Acropolis, Parliament square and the rest of Athens reaching out towards the see.... More

It is a pricey hotel, but you are in the center of everything. I love this location because you are close enough to the Acropolis, yes you can easily get on a tram and go to the sea. The views from the bar are outstanding too. Rooms are ok. More

I stayed here twice in 2011 and enjoyed the experience immensely on both occasions. One room was at the front of the hotel on the 7th floor, where there was supposed to be a butler, but I didn't ever meet him (which I didn't mind). The view from the balcony was breathtaking. All of the staff were efficient and courteous.... More

I would say it was really great experience to stay again at this hotel. It has been some months that I am coming every two weeks and they are taking such personal care for every guest. As Platinum member I am also receiving the SPG benefits but what matters most is that they are recognizing their guests and make you... More

My family's experience at this grand hotel surpasses what can be described within the English vocabulary. We always felt at home at GB, warmly welcomed in luxury right in the centre of Athens (in an unbeatable location at Constitution Square opposite Parliament House, near Plaka, the Acropolis and Ermou shopping strip). As soon as you are greeted by the concierge... More

I stayed here for one night in October before a cruise. The hotel itself is impeccably maintained with a very friendly staff. Rooms are plush and European and the building definetely a grand old European style hotel with all of the modern luxuries. Do not miss the rooftop restaurant! Food is quite good but the view of Athens is the... More

This is a true old world luxury hotel. The rooms are richly appointed with dark wood and all of the modern amenities (updated plumbing, internet, etc.), a wonderful combination of old and new. The concierge service is impeccable and very helpful. Everyone is devoted to making your stay as pleasant as possible, as well as helping you with the rest... More

1st class all the way. You must have dinner (or at least drinks and snacks) on the rooftop. Staff attentive and helpfull. Rooms, halls and lobby every bit as nice as the pictures. We paid big$ as a pre-cruise package but on-line prices are very reasonable for luxury. More

Other reviewers have said it all. If your budget allows it this is a great hotel to stay at. I do find however, the rooms are small. The bed is fabulous and you get a pillow "menu" to choose from f you want. The location is great, right on the square and next to the Metro. In room internet is... More
