My family is from Greece and before we went to stay with them, we decided to be pampered at a luxury resort in the heart of Athens. We stayed at the King George before and now Hotel Grande Bretagne. Both are great properties. Grande Bretagne is a beautiful hotel- luxury at its finest. Staff was amazing and accommodating. Everyone was very thoughtful and friendly towards my 2 1/2 year old son who was treated like a prince. Good location, easy access to the metro, restaurant on the top of the hotel has amazing views.

Perfect location in the center of Athens. The view of the Greek Parliament was fantastic. The room had a nicely sized balcony which was an unexpected and delightful bonus!

Phillip United States of America

Classic old world comfort. Beautiful hotel and very friendly, helpful staff. Room on the small side but elegant, tasteful and very comfortable. Highlight is the rooftop restaurant bar for breakfast or a drink at night. The view of the Acropolis is stunning.

Rose Israel

Great location, lovely staff, solid dinner with a great view from the restaurant/bar. They gave us a free upgrade as we were on our honeymoon - very nice!!

Spencer United States of America

This is one of the most famous hotels in Europe, if not in the world. Its style is magnificent, the service outstanding. Though it is right on busy Syndagma Square, the heart of Athens, we slept extremely well after the long flight from the U.S., the windows are really soundproof. There is no better place to start your excursion into history, the Acropolis is a 20-minute walk away, or into modern Greece (the Parliament with its changing of the guard is just across the street). Beds are extremely comfortable, the staff is second to none. A highlight to any visit to Athens: having dinner at the rooftop restaurant ! Seeing the Acropolis during and after sunset (the Parthenon is well illuminated) is an unforgettable experience - as is the cuisine in GB Roof !

Ronald United States of America

Rooftop restaurant and bar is a treat with its view of the Acropolis. Beautiful rooms with very comfortable bed.

Brigitte United States of America

My special request for the room's location was met well.. The room was well decorated and well equipped(except for the music instrument).The room and the bathroom are large enough to accommodate 3 people .

Ethem Turkey

Fabulous staff and views from the restaurant. The lobby bar had a great atmosphere. The hotel itself is plush and elegant (although the corridors are a little dark).

Katie United Kingdom

Service from concierge and front desk was excellent
