LikedEverything was top-notch and we had a nice view of the Acropolis from the rooftop restaurant, and we had a view of the Parliament building and watched the changing of the guards from our balcony
DislikedIt was a little bit expensive but then again you get what you pay for.
LikedThe location, staff, and lobby bar were all wonderful.
DislikedThe GB Rooftop Garden restaurant had a beautiful view, but the quality of food and service was not on par with other Michelin star restaurants in Athens. It was a very nice hotel restaurant, but not worth the price point.
LikedWe loved our room. It was very beautiful. Everything was there that we needed. The staff was very pleasant to deal with.
LikedThis Hotel is wonderful! Super Clean and the staff is great!
LikedI loved the architecture and the interior design, the room, furniture, wonderful SPA and a decent gym. Christmas decoration was stunning and subtle at the same time. Loved the location too and the utmost priority of mine was to feel safe as a solo female traveler, in the hotel itself and its suroundings. Staff was quite polite, educated, and their uniform did not go unnoticed either. I loved small gestures such as greeting you in the corridors, lobby.
DislikedThey should def. Implement a few adjustments to the replenishment of the water and coffee pods in case they have been used as a part of their daily routine. Guest shouldn’t have to especially request, however, è each time I called for the same, it was done promptly. The only thing I did not like was a concierge staff member who reassured me he will check upon something for me, without me insisting or so, he took my number but I have never really heard back from him. I travelled privately but looking for investment, so I just asked what areas in Athens would they (as locals) suggest.. that was it! It was a bit older staff member with a bit greyish hair (don’t know his name). If you cannot deliver just say I’m sorry I cannot do that, but just do not promise first and later not deliver the same. Afterward I did not even bother asking for any guidance the concierge team because I have lost trust.
LikedOur stay at the Hotel Grande Bretagne was truly exceptional. The service was outstanding – all staff were kind, attentive, and highly professional. The hotel itself is beautifully designed and maintained to the highest standards. The rooftop restaurant and bar offered breathtaking views of the Acropolis and the city – perfect for a romantic evening. The food was delicious, and breakfast was a real highlight. The location is unbeatable – right next to Syntagma Square and steps away from Ermou Street, where you can shop for hours. Special thanks to the team for accommodating our late check-out request. We will definitely return on our next trip to Athens. Highly recommended!
Likedlocation, view, restaurants, spa, gym, room service - everything was excellent. Rooms were on the smaller size, which didn't really matter because we weren't spending much time there. Shower worked well but was not a stand alone; it faced into a tub.
LikedLocation, roof top restaurant, pool, good security, and very well trained staff.
DislikedVery minor things, for example paintings and lamp shades hanging crookedly in the room, hallway and downstairs restaurant.
