i was truly looking forward to our stay at the grande bretagne. however, unlike many of the reviewers, i did not use points to pay for the accomodations. we shelled out 300-ish euros for a lukewarm at best experience. first off, the keys didn't work. had to deal with that after a long journey. then, my husband, ready to lie... more

My wife and I spent 3 GREAT days at this hotel. It was our 1st time to Athens after 10 days at sea on a cruise. We have traveled and stayed in some of the finest hotels in the world and I have to say this hotel impressed me. When we arrived by private car, we could not get to... more

I adored this hotel. The room was just delightful; an extremely comfortable bed and a fabulous shower with an enormous rose that gives so much beautiful hot water I could have drowned ! The service was brilliant and they managed to wash and press and return a business shirt within a couple of hours. more

We kicked off our 17 nights Greece and Turkey honeymoon at the Grande Bretagne. We chose the property because we were using Starwood points, but after reading the reviews and noticing that they charged over 500 Euros (about $800) per nights, I was expecting a truly luxurious hotel. I understand the hotel's historic significance, and therefore the high price. But,... more

Yes, I agree with everything on the June 6th review that FrisbieCat wrote. We arrived in Athens in early May and spent 2 nights at the Grande Brantage prior to our cruise. This place is a bigtime 5-star property. Our room (not a suite) on the fifth floor also faced the Parliament Building. Perhaps being exhausted from sightseeing, we never... more

We stayed at the Grande Bretagne for a few days before a cruise. Overall, it was a good experience although we had a couple negative experiences and wanted to pass along some advice. First the good: Clearly, this hotel strives to work well and provide a pleasant experience. The staff was uniformly polite and helpful. We were very impressed with... more

This hotel is incredibly welcoming and the epitome of hospitality. Every request was promptly fulfilled. We were upgraded to a suite and while it was an inside room, with only a view of the courtyard perhaps that was best since Syntagma Square was extremely busy with concerts and a road race and other activities during our stay. Having a drink... more

We stayed in a Junior Suite at the Grande Bretagne for our Honeymoon. The room was absolutely stunning, large, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. (I left a jacket in the room while we went to the Islands for a couple of days and they kept it for me until we returned to Athens). The location is next... more

My husband and I spent 2 nights at the Grande Bretagne on our way to Santorini for our honeymoon, and it was a great way to start our trip. The hotel is luxurious, beautifully decorated, and the staff is top notch. Our luggage was lost by the airlines enroute, and the staff went above and beyond calling the airlines and... more
