This is an excellent hotel that has maintained an old world magnificance. The location is wonderful for sightseeing. The outdoor pool is lovely . The rooftop restaurant, with a great view of the Acropolis,is something really spectacular. I highly recommend this hotel . more

An oasis in the center of Athens, this property is more like an urban resort than a business hotel. The hotel was completely renovated for the 2004 Olympics and it still feels as fresh as ever. Our Acropolis-view room on the "butler floor" was immaculate, though small, with a nice 32 inch LCD and a tub/shower combination. The best part... more

Traveling from Prague to Santorini we decided to make a one night/day stop over in Athens. The location of this hotel is great. The food in the terrace restaurant with outdoor dining is delicious. The breakfast buffet also very good. The hotel pool was jammed with people and tiny. I was not at all excited about putting on a baiting... more

I decided to stay at the Grande Bretagne prior to my embarkation on a cruise ship. I had heard nice comments about this hotel and I was expecting to find a nice hotel. The location is very good but location is not everything. The hotel was very busy during my arrival day and the lobby, reception areas were very noisy... more

We stayed three nights here. Our taxi driver informed us it was the nicest hotel in Athens. It was very nice. The rooms were large with elegant bathrooms (separate rain shower, large bathtub). I used Starwood points for 2 nights and the other night was $550 usd which is extreme. The location is good, right in the center of Athens.... more

We fly into Athens and we were only going to spend the first 2 nights here and wanted a nice luxury hotel with a spa so that we can sleep off the jet lag and relax from all the wedding stress. This hotel, Grande Bretagne Hotel was absolutely beautiful. It... more

Grande Bretagne is the hotel to stay at if you are visiting Athens. The location and service is first rate as is the view from several rooms. We stayed in rooms 714 and 712. 714 is a suite with a large sitting area and 712 is a small room that can be connected to 714. The view of the Acropolis... more

First of all, beware the billing department. I was billed for items from the Mini Bar, which I never used: coca-cola, which I have never drunk since high school, perrier water, and several other items which I did not even recognize to the tune of $68.91. Even after I put the charge in dispute to my credit card company, the... more

Using points for one night paid and and paying for a classic room the next, we ended up upgraded into a junior suite. That is where the freebies ended. The hotel reeks of class - two chandeliers in our 3 room suite, big marble bathroom, private butler for the floor, welcome gifts etc. Concierge and staff all professional and welcoming.... more
