An outstanding experience from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. The service, the friendliness, the people are outstanding . The hotel is beautiful and luxurious but the level of service and hospitality is really what makes it extra special.

Simply put: the most regal and established 5-star hotel in Athens and a must-stay for anyone who wishes to experiences elegance and luxury while traveling to this epic city. Dining on the rooftop is a lifetime treat one never forgets, with views of the Acropolis--and you are a witness to the history of humankind!

Quality place, great location.
The hotel is stunning, the private butler service is fantastic, The rooms Are starting to a look at little bit tired and need some modernisation. There are often wine glasses and things being left on the small table outside of the rooms which clearly did not belong to the rooms. Not quite worth €1500 a night!

I stayed with my wife and 7-year-old daughter at the Grand Bretagne Hotel in Athens in March, and I can honestly say it was without a doubt the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The hotel staff was friendly, helpful, and professional throughout our stay. Our suite was spacious, beautifully designed, and spotlessly clean. Although the rooftop was under renovation during our stay (according to their site, expected to end at 5 April 2024), we enjoyed every minute at the hotel, from the friendly service to the perfect location and the wonderful facilities.

It was pretty fabulous I give the staff 15/10 they were that good! From the doormen to the staff at the gift shop they were knowledgeable and always ready to spring into action. The doorman every time we get to the door had a nice word for us and direction to our destination, the concierge recommended tons of great restaurants for us to sample like locals. lol...The hotel smells so good I bought the lobby scent at the gift shop to bring home (ah sue me lol) We were able to enjoy jazz night Wednesday (very very good) the only thing the restaurant on the 8th floor was closed for renovation but we were able to go next door on the 7th floor bar for drinks and enjoy the view of the Acropolis at night a must see. I will stay there again next year.
