I have stayed here before and each time I come back the level of service is onnpar or better than before. The rooms are opulent (maybe too much so) but everything is perfect. The bedding, linens and amenities are 5* all the way. The service is impeccable and the staff never says no to any request. The spa and pool are an oasis and I spent hf the afternoon trying all the different steam rooms and saunas. This is still the best hotel in Athens.

The afternoon tea in Grande Bretagne is addressed to people who have never had afternoon english tea before in their lives! ONE miserable finger sandwich, scones that only the chef recognizes as scones, clotted cream frozen and tasteless and sweets,sweets and sweets! The Earl Grey had neither aroma nor taste.

Still a nice hotel but lost some Charm…..Food still not pretty well .thats maybe that there is not much going on on the Restaurants…. The breakfast ist amazing! very nice!! Rooms are alreday getting older and older…. Still all is very clean. Spa is very nice and all are very professionell and friendly.…the indoor Pool water temperature is too cold (I think 27 degrees), and all around that indoor Pool Looks more like in an old nursing home Institution and the air is also very cold in there...so not really cosy. maybe that's the reason I never so people there.

Used points for a regular room, but was upgraded to a suite on the butler floor due my status in Bonvoy (posting just to show folks upgrades actually do happen still). It’s simply a beautiful hotel, with much historical significance to Athens. The Nazi’s used the hotel as HQ during the occupation, then the British did similarly once Greece was freed. Definitely select breakfast as an arrival choice, the top floor restaurant is very good and views are spectacular. Christina was an excellent server for breakfast. I highly recommend this hotel and shall return again,

I traveled to Greece in June of 2004 and had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Grande Bretagne after its multimillion-dollar renovation. The hotel was absolutely impeccable in every way. Our room was palatial, the service was fantastic and the dinner we enjoyed at the rooftop restaurant was truly an evening to remember with the fantastic view of the Acropolis.

My experience with the Grande Bretagne exceeded my expectations on every account. The hotel was beautiful and the room was amazing. Dinner was exceptional - definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Greece.
