We stayed one night at the Grande Bretagne before embarking on a cruise, and on the whole it was a fine experience. The hotel is beautifully situated on a square diagonal to the Parliament building, and our room had a balcony with a direct view of the Acropolis. The rooftop terrace restaurant is beautiful and has a breathtaking Acropolis view. We regret not dining there. The buffet breakfast served there is opulent and the service excellent. The negatives were the zoo-like scene at the small rooftop pool and the mobbed lobby at check-in and check-out. In both cases the hotel was simply overcrowded and disorganized. Even so, I would stay here again.

I stayed here for work so can’t talk about the price of the room, though I did see that the breakfast was 50+ Euros. I had dinner at the rooftop restaurant; it seemed obligatory after reading reviews here. The view of the Acropolis is breathtaking, a rare moment of beauty. I recommend seeing it in the daytime and at night. The restaurant’s prices are a bit steep though – the wine list is a bit of a cheek. I found that this applied to the bar downstairs too: 21 Euros for three coffees. The rooms are comfortable; the bathroom is modern and very nice. The only thing I would criticize is the decoration, a bit stifling in my opinion (a lot of magazines, brochures, notes and all very rococo) but that’s the only flaw these rooms would have, really.
