"Grande Bretagne - Top Tier Service in Great Spot"
My wife and I spent 2 night at the GB before departing for the islands. It's a very nice hotel in the middle of Athens near all of the sights. Excellent rooftop restaurant, nice spa, and a very relaxing place to spend a couple of days.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very good but overpriced!"
The hotel is centrally located and ideal for sightseeing. The SPA has excellent facilities and a big hit with the kids, but the therapies hugely overpriced (double of any other 5* Hotel I stayed in Europe, States or Asia). Paid for an upgrade to deluxe rooms but still found them not big enough for the price. The staff were helpful but did not go out […] of their way to make this a memorable stay as I am accustomed to when I pay this sort of money for a week's family holiday. Also, I found on arrival that breakfast was extra. At €30 per person we had good motivation for extending our beauty sleep. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"..."
The hotel is stunning although the reception staff were abrupt, so that didn't start our stay off well. The room was clean and beautiful but the bed was quite small; we asked for a large bed but got a standard double. The rooftop restaurant has stunning views, although I'd suggest eating in the GB Corner restaurant and having drinks at the rooftop bar. […] Far more menu choice at GB Corner, better food, and you don't pay a premium for the view. The pool area is small so can ge busy. Beware of the wifi, it costs €10 per day, per device which I thought was excessive for a 5* hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Um marco a ser testado.."
Hotel com toda a qualidade antecipável, com alguns detalhes a serem revistos e a incorporar um pouco mais de tecnologia e modernidades..Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel Grande Bretagne / muito bem localizado"
É um hotel elegante, bem localizado, do restaurante tem-se uma vista espetacular da Acrópole, e está próximo das melhores lojas. O café da manhã poderia ser melhor, mas de modo geral o atendimento é bom. Atenção pois em Atenas o comércio fecha à tarde às segundas, quartas e sábados, com exceção das lojas de departamentos ou grandes magazines.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
