Classical King George Palace - Athens, Greece 

Bad service
Posted: Sat, Nov 22 2008
My wife and I were rudely turned away from the lounge where all tables were set aside for the night-life crowd queuing behind a velvet rope, and none for hotel guests. After I complained, hotel management claimed the lounge is under separate management and not their problem (yet they advertise it as a feature). This is not even close to the service that I expected from a supposedly top-notch hotel.

A Great Hotel

We stayed at the lovely boutique King George Palace Hotel after a wonderful 35 day cruise. It is in a great position right opposite the square with Parliament House a couple of doors away. We had a good sized quiet room overlooking a courtyard at the rear of the hotel. It was light and airy and very comfortable for sitting, resting and reading after a day spent out and about. The bed was wonderful and we had a great nights sleep. The staff are excellent and the breakfast served on the top floor overlooking the acropolis was delicious. We have stayed at Grand Bretagne next door quite a few times but from now on we will be returning to the lovely King George Palace which is much cheaper and offers just as much in the way of amenities as its big neighbour on the corner.

Perfect Hotel,

We were planning on a trip to Greece with my wife but we did not manage to make it... so I decided to take my grand son with me and do the trip that we have been planning for years. We started in Greece and stayed at the King George Palace after my travel agent's recommendation. What a nice hotel! The location is superb right on Syntagma Square and you can walk anywere you would like to go in the city. The staff of the Hotel did everything possible to make us feel at home. The gentleman at the Concierge gave us recommendations for tours and sites to visit and they were all exactly what we wanted to see. We had booked a standard room and they upgraded us to a spacious, nicely decorated room of a higher category. Their restaurant has a great view of the Acropolis and it is the perfect way to start your day while enjoying the first meal of the day! I had a perfect trip with my grand son and he enjoyed both the hotel and the ancient history of the city. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who would like to stay to a nice hotel with great service and all the comforts of today. I have stayed in a number of hotels in the States and in Europe but this was the first time that I felt that someone was interested in making us having a good time and make us feel comfortable.
