10/10 Exceptional

This hotel truly lived up to its name, Grande, and was definitely worth the price tag. The location is excellent, offering easy walking access to the hop-on hop-off bus (directly across the road), Attica department store, Ermou Street for shopping, and many other attractions. Breakfast was outstanding — the freshest and tastiest we’ve had, both from the buffet and the à la carte menu. The rooftop views across Athens were absolutely beautiful. The staff were exceptional; Katrina at breakfast remembered our usual order from our very first visit, and her professionalism was a wonderful start to each day. The only area for improvement would be the guest rooms, which would benefit from renovation. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Athens. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality 🙂
