Hotel Grande Bretagne is centrally located with a terrific 8th floor view of the Acropolis at breakfast and in the evening. Our room was very quiet (room #207) and comfortable. George, our butler, was extremely nice and helpful with explanations and local restaurant tips. Savvos was very nice as our breakfast buffet host. In fact, all the breakfast staff were very passionate (Tzeni also was very personable our first morning) about helping and serving guests. Overall, a great hotel with a sensational view of the Acropolis. 5/5 stars.

We stayed here the end of December and very much enjoyed it. Location is fantastic- lots of places to eat nearby, walkable to the acropolis/plaka/etc but the best part was that the square still had the holiday lights and decorations up which made it lovely. The staff is very professional without being stuffy. Breakfast was very good- lot's of options and it comes with a great view! We didn't eat other meals there but did enjoy the bar for cocktails- they were not cheap but the bartender was superb and I love it when the bartender knows what they are doing. The room was a great mix of old world style and modern amenities. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Phenomenal customer service and 10/10 hotel. Huge thanks to Konstantinos and Alexandra at the rooftop bar for making our night super special and Ilias, Vaggelis and Vasia for exceptional service at the lounge. It's the staff that make this hotel memorable, and they go the extra mile for sure.

In Athens for a very significant birthday celebration for my older sister, we all went here for afternoon tea. My word, this was such elegance and extravagance. The service was impeccable as you would expect and the afternoon tea sumptuous. Plenty of very high quality sandwiches, cakes, scones etc. A selection of teas was available as well as Champagne. This was a truly memorable celebration

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.
