Got a good deal on expedia, wanted a nice hotel as i was travelling with my son.

Hmmm, 5* - they must be kidding...

Get a regular 2* hotel on a not so smart street, but in a decent walking distance of the Akropolis, then paint in with some inspiring young artists ideas, give out bath robes, towels etc and bang - you have a 5* hotel!

My son loved it, but I was not that impressed.

Warning. Booked thru expedia. Everything in the hotel in V expensive, ie, 20EU breakfast, 16EU for one movie! And the mini bar, wow, the most expensive ever, 12 EU for a pack of peanuts when they cost 1 euro across the road from the kiosk.

summary - OK, top end basic hotel IMHO. All amenities very expensive. And the 'pool' well it is actually a spa. do not get sucked in by the web site, it uses some very clever photography. Who gives stars out in Greece - maybe you can buy them!!!

I stayed at the Baby Grand Hotel for 3 nights and even though it is supposed to be a 5 star hotel it seemed to me as a 2-3 star.
It has very small rooms that you can't fit in and also I missed my flight due to a misunderstanding which was held with the staff and me. I was waiting long enough because they wanted to overcharge me even though I had prebooked the price from the reservations office. Also I had 2 free tickets from the theatre and no one told me about this. I saw it on their website....
Anyway the lights inside the elevator are worse than ever but I can say that the breakfast was really nice and the rooms were very clean. But in 5 star hotel you expect something more....

My partner and I stayed at the Baby Grand over the weekend, and we did not have a good start. To be honest, the room felt average, compared to the Junior Suite we had booked and paid for. Ok, it was very different, Greek influences in a modern room. Amenities were good - local Korres products that I do love. However, when you ask for a king size bed, you do not expect to get twin beds put together, especially on a weekend trip with your partner for Valentines Day! We were not happy, and further not happy with regards to the customer service we found at reception. They were well mannered, however, their juggling of numerous customers at the one time did not appeal to us, in particular when we had problems in the first place. Also, try to stay away from the taxi's they arrange for - instead of costing €10 to get from the hotel to a particular destination, the taxi driver (with illegal meter pacers assummably - we had the same problem in Budapest) charged us double!
In terms of location, we were told Omonia Square is not the best place to stay in Athens, as it is quite seedy and dodgy. This was our second trip to Athens, and it didn't make it feel as special as the first time - definitely recommend the Art Hotel, where we stayed at last year. Not only is it cheaper (I think around £80 per night) but you get friendly service from a family-owned and run hotel, plus brilliant breakfast included (Baby Grand does not include breakfast, and the room service we ordered was less than ordinary) - see my review of that elsewhere in TripAdvisor.

Last November, I stayed in the Baby Grand for 3 nights . My room was very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated (Well...the tiger over the bed was a little over the top, but understandable as design statement ). The Hotel has a very trendy atmosphere. The front desk tables are Minis (see pictures)
The location of the Hotel is extraordinary, the Market is across the street and the Subway just one block away.
It is walking distance from most of the city highlights and the best restaurants.
The Hotel entrance is very cool and the Restaurant has good service and great appetizers
If you book your room with time you could get a better deal
