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 🙂

This is a true 5 star hotel in the old fashioned sense. In every touch with customers the Grande Bretagne hotel and staff strives to be perfect and welcoming.
I particularly enjoyed the indoor swimming pool which is just adequately sized to swim laps. 14 metres. The views from 8th floor restaurant and bar is second to non. View over Syntagma Square, first row seats to chance of guards by Parliament, Lycabettos hill, and most spectacular view to Acropolis and the Parthenon, and beyond, the sea and Aegina. The staff deserves a special mention for being amazing and so helpful!

I stayed with my wife and 7-year-old daughter at the Grand Bretagne Hotel in Athens in March, and I can honestly say it was without a doubt the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The hotel staff was friendly, helpful, and professional throughout our stay. Our suite was spacious, beautifully designed, and spotlessly clean. Although the rooftop was under renovation during our stay (according to their site, expected to end at 5 April 2024), we enjoyed every minute at the hotel, from the friendly service to the perfect location and the wonderful facilities.

From the minute you enter, the staff at the GB go out of their way to make sure that everything is done to the highest of standards. The facility itself, the rooms and all the extraordinary touches, the various dining venues -- all exceed the expectations one would have for a luxury hotel. Not the first visit and will not be the last... thank you!

Quality place, great location.
The hotel is stunning, the private butler service is fantastic, The rooms Are starting to a look at little bit tired and need some modernisation. There are often wine glasses and things being left on the small table outside of the rooms which clearly did not belong to the rooms. Not quite worth €1500 a night!
