Politics: I recently stayed at Hotel Grande Bretagne for one night while transferring through Athens on our way to Santorini. I was really concerned with the current economic situations in Greece and Tripadvisor reviews mentioning the rioting and demonstrations. Since Hotel Grande Bretagne is located in constitution square I didn’t want to get caught in the middle of demonstrations or... More

This is my second review of this hotel having visited some time ago. I am pleased to reiterate the Grande Bretagne did not disappoint. The hospitality, service, fiendliness and competitiveness is nothing short of outstanding! The service on reception, (particularly Marianthi) was exceptional - all employees went out of their way to make us feel special. Also of note, The... More

The lobby is jaw dropping The view of the hill from the pool is amazing The location is incredible The room was a masterpiece When they found out it was our honeymoon (pre-June 2011 but the timer thing doesn't go back farther than that), they upgraded us to a room with a nighttime view of the acropolis lit up. Even... More

my boyfriend (now fiance) traveled there over the christmas and new years of 2010/2011. the hotel is utter perfection and it was the trip of a lifetime for us. even though we do a lot of international travel and stay at very nice hotels, nothing seems to compare to this. things get close but we always end up saying "remember...

We were only able to say one night in Athens after a cruise and we are so happy we chose HGB! Our room was available when we arrived, 7th floor.

Stayed there for our honeymoon, and there could not be a better hotel of all the places i've been around the world. Service was impeccable, design was nice and the view from the rooftop was amazing. It's pricey, but it's worth every penny! More

What a beautiful old fashion style hotel. From the elegant lobby to the high ceiling rooms with marble bathrooms, very modern thru out but not loosing the charm of an old world hotel. Not to mention the view from the roof garden...amazing! Dinner on the roof garden was wonderful, service excellent, including the buffet breakfast, strawberries were the ripest I... More

It was my first time in Athens and a friend suggested "Grande Bretagne" hotel. I am really glad I took that advice! The hotel stands right in front of the greek Parliament and only a shot walk away from the Acropolis. Couldn't find a better location in Athens! As I made my reservation online I recieved an email from Alexandra,... More

Was there in August of 2011, and very much enjoyed my stay. Centrally located, HGB makes for an easy launching off place to explore much of Athens. Even though it was right across from the parliament during the riots, I felt relatively unaffected by this. Terrific access to restaurants, subway and shopping, and of course, visiting the Acropolis and other... More
