“un séjour somptueux à athènes”

J'ai passé trois nuits fantastiques dans une suite Deluxe de 60m2 à l'hôtel grande bretagne fin juillet 08. Cet hôtel est absolument somptueux avec un service de très grande qualité et des prestations dignes des plus grands palaces dans le monde. Après une visite d'athènes, et notamment du Pathènon à proximité de l'hôtel, un saut dans la piscine sur le toît est un vrai régal, de même que les petits déjeuners face à l'Acropole. Bref, un séjour de rêve dans une ville étonnante et attachante.

“Athens Grande”

Hotel was great, as to be expected for price. Stayed there 15 yrs ago and has been updated since Olympics in 2004. Great view of the Parthenon from room terrace makes the price worth it. Concierge got us into great Relais and Chateau Restaurant.

“Extraordinary Hotel”

This is the finest example of staying in a palace. The rooms are unbelievably beautiful. Wonderful location and worth the extra expense.

“very impressed”

The hotel was very nice and had excellent service. From the airport I would suggest using the metro (subway) because it is quick plus you come out right at the hotel. The spa and manicure and pedicure service was speechless. I recommend this service. Make appointments in advance. Roof top restaurant offered great service and a nice view of the city. I also recommend scheduling any tours through the hotel for better pricing.

“Athens Best Hotel”

Billed as Athens' best hotel and lived up to its billing. A converted city mansion tastefully yet elegantly furnished. Fantastically located in the centre of the city which meant that all the major attractions were within walking distance. The rooftop restaurant had a sublime view of the Acropolis which alone made it worth frequenting. The only grumble was that the service in the restaurant could have been better.

“Best place to stay in Athens”

Perfect location to see all the sights. Friendly staff and great decor. Room was clean, comfy and very posh. The spa was great, with a large indoor pool and 5 sauna/steam rooms. The footspa was perfect after a day up the parthenon. The roof top pool had a beautiful view, great service and an amazing location to relax. Breakfast was expensive, but had a great choice and kept you full untill dinner time. The roof top restaurant had an amazing view, which explained the prices, but the food was only average. It is worth the price and a great experience.
