I stayed here twice in 2011 and enjoyed the experience immensely on both occasions. One room was at the front of the hotel on the 7th floor, where there was supposed to be a butler, but I didn't ever meet him (which I didn't mind). The view from the balcony was breathtaking. All of the staff were efficient and courteous.... More

I would say it was really great experience to stay again at this hotel. It has been some months that I am coming every two weeks and they are taking such personal care for every guest. As Platinum member I am also receiving the SPG benefits but what matters most is that they are recognizing their guests and make you... More

My family's experience at this grand hotel surpasses what can be described within the English vocabulary. We always felt at home at GB, warmly welcomed in luxury right in the centre of Athens (in an unbeatable location at Constitution Square opposite Parliament House, near Plaka, the Acropolis and Ermou shopping strip). As soon as you are greeted by the concierge... More

I stayed here for one night in October before a cruise. The hotel itself is impeccably maintained with a very friendly staff. Rooms are plush and European and the building definetely a grand old European style hotel with all of the modern luxuries. Do not miss the rooftop restaurant! Food is quite good but the view of Athens is the... More

This is a true old world luxury hotel. The rooms are richly appointed with dark wood and all of the modern amenities (updated plumbing, internet, etc.), a wonderful combination of old and new. The concierge service is impeccable and very helpful. Everyone is devoted to making your stay as pleasant as possible, as well as helping you with the rest... More

1st class all the way. You must have dinner (or at least drinks and snacks) on the rooftop. Staff attentive and helpfull. Rooms, halls and lobby every bit as nice as the pictures. We paid big$ as a pre-cruise package but on-line prices are very reasonable for luxury. More

Other reviewers have said it all. If your budget allows it this is a great hotel to stay at. I do find however, the rooms are small. The bed is fabulous and you get a pillow "menu" to choose from f you want. The location is great, right on the square and next to the Metro. In room internet is... More

Yes the title does sound over the top but this hotel really was; the dramatic foyer, alluring bar with amazing embroidery, beautiful roof top pool, resplendent rooms and the piece de' resistance the top floor restaurant overlooking the Acropolis. I feel sorry for the wonderful staff who must have struggled with limited occupancy through the recent riots (another benefit is... More

I have stayed at the GB many times in the past, but not since its recent renovation which has transformed it into a luxury liner majestically moored on Constitution Square. Everything is impeccable, not least the professional service and breathtaking Acropolis views from room balconies. While this was a brief stay during a layover on the way to Paris, we... More

We had an extremely enjoyable stay in this hotel. The service is exemplary and all staff were extremely courteous and helpful. We enjoyed butler service and nothing was too much trouble. The room we had was beautifully and tastefully decorated. A slight complaint was the fact that when the maid service changed the room was serviced for one person only,... More
