Everything was top-notch and we had a nice view of the Acropolis from the rooftop restaurant, and we had a view of the Parliament building and watched the changing of the guards from our balcony
It was a little bit expensive but then again you get what you pay for.

The location, staff, and lobby bar were all wonderful.
The GB Rooftop Garden restaurant had a beautiful view, but the quality of food and service was not on par with other Michelin star restaurants in Athens. It was a very nice hotel restaurant, but not worth the price point.

Here’s a factual, firm review that is suitable for both Google and Booking.com. It focuses on your experience without making claims that you cannot support. ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) I had expected a much higher standard of service from a luxury hotel such as Hotel Grande Bretagne, but unfortunately my experience was disappointing. The hotel itself is beautiful and the room was excellent. However, the service—particularly at the front desk during both check-in and check-out—fell well below the standard expected of a five-star property. Staff were not particularly helpful when assistance was needed, and the overall experience lacked the professionalism and customer care one would expect at this price level. The most frustrating issue has been the payment process. At check-in, the hotel placed a pre-authorisation of almost €10,000 on my card. At check-out, they processed the final payment of over €10,000, meaning that almost €20,000 of my funds became unavailable. Although the hotel has already received full payment, I have been informed that I now have to wait 7–10 working days before the original authorisation is released. This unnecessarily ties up a substantial amount of my own money. My bank confirmed that only the merchant can initiate the release, yet the hotel has not taken any meaningful action to resolve the issue promptly. For a hotel of this calibre, I expected a far more proactive approach to customer service and payment issues. Instead, I was left to deal with the problem myself while travelling. A luxury hotel should deliver not only excellent facilities but also excellent customer care. Unfortunately, in my case, the service did not justify the premium price. I hope the management reviews its procedures for card authorisations and provides better support to future guests.

The room was very quiet. Having spent the night before at a luxury hotel, where the street noise was over the top, appreciated the quiet of the GB. Everything was close.
The hotel appeared tired. The restaurant was difficult to make a reservation, even as a guest. The staff was a little aloof. There were no bathroom amenities, other than soap and lotion.

View of Acropolis
The room I initially got was on the 7th floor, right below rooftop cate/bar/restaurant. All night heard thumping of music and then starting at 7:00 am heard chairs constantly sliding/moving from breakfast buffet. After complaining was relocated to 6th floor. Didn’t appreciate the whole experience

Location, very clean
Unfortunately, I haven’t found the concierge’s restaurant recommendations particularly impressive. For example, when I asked for a special restaurant recommendation to celebrate our anniversary, I was directed to Balcony Restaurant & Bar, which did not feel like a memorable or exceptional choice for such an occasion.

The staff here exceptionally nice, so helpful and kind. The pool facilities were beautiful and the drinks were tasty! The hotel restruant had good food and the view was amazing. Such a romantic experience in this hotel.
If i had to nitpick things I didn't like I'd say the rooms were definitely a bit small. My stay here was part of a 4 week 9 hotel vacation across Greece, Italy and, France and this hotel had the smallest room of all. That being said it was still a great room.

I like the location and last year when we stayed there the staff was nicer, the room was larger the view from the room was better and service was better.
The room was too small. We were 3 people and the hotel knew this and put a cot in this already small room which made it horrible. The view from the room was terrible. I try to order a sandwich at the pool to take to my room and they would not allow it. They told me to go order it from room service, when I was right there at the pool. Last Summer we were there and we agreed to come back because it was great. But this year we decided we are not coming back. There are plenty of beautiful luxury hotels in Athens. It was a disappointment.

we had a room with balcony that was excellent.
They should have warned us about the demonstrations in front of the Parliament much earlier.
