I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The cleanliness was perfect, and the hotel facilities were great. The location couldn't have been better, as it was right in the main square in front of the Parliament building and close to everything. The breakfast spread was delicious, and the staff were helpful and accommodating.
Nothings. Everything was perfect and exceeded my expectations.

The rooftop garden at Hotel Grande Bretagne offered an unobstructed view of the Acropolis, amazing. I was in awe of the fine scenery and seemed like I was in a postcard. The location of the hotel was also ideal, within walking distance of the shopping district in Plaka, making it convenient for exploring the city. I highly recommend this luxurious hotel for its amazing views and convenient location.

The Hotel Grande Bretagne offers excellent views from its rooftop restaurant and has a great roof garden. The waiters are friendly and professional, and the food is good. The hotel also has world-class service and staff, with a dedicated Butler floor for a personalized experience. The rooftop pool is a must-visit, with delicious calamari. The hotel has old-world charm and great facilities, including a fitness center, spa, and hair salon. The buffet breakfast, as well as the Roof Top Restaurant and Winter Garden Restaurant, are excellent.
Felt like home, no complaints whatsoever.

The hotel's location is perfect, just a short walk to the Plaka area and other noteworthy attractions. The rooms are well-appointed and the bathrooms are elegant. The service provided by the staff is exceptional, with attentive employees ready to cater to your needs. The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of delicious options, and the rooftop terrace provides stunning views of the surrounding area, including the Acropolis.
Some aspects of the hotel description on Marriott's website could be improved to avoid misleading guests about the room types and amenities.

A family with 2 small kids would find Hotel Grande Bretagne perfectly located next to the parliament building, within walking distance to major tourist attractions and in the heart of the city. The rooms are large and comfortable with elegant furnishings and the bathrooms are spacious. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing excellent service. The breakfast buffet offers a stunning selection of options. The rooftop restaurant provides a clear view of a famous landmark, making dining an unforgettable experience. The hotel also has a pool, bar, and facilities like steam rooms and saunas for guests to enjoy.
The front desk and concierge staff may have poor attitude and professionalism.

the exclusive amenities and top, notch service were exceptional. the Spa & wellness centre offered a variety of treatments, including massage, sauna, and Jacuzzi. the indoor swimming pool was clean and pleasantly warm. Our room was decorated in a classic style and had excellent facilities with a private balcony. the restaurant offered delicious in, room breakfast and fresh packed lunches. the bar/lounge area was perfect for unwinding after a long day.
The only minor issue we had was with the outdoor swimming pool. the area was not very spacious, and the water was a bit chilly.

This venue fulfilled all my luxurious needs. the exclusive amenities were top, notch, especially the Spa & wellness centre with its relaxing sauna, indoor swimming pool, and Jacuzzi. the massage was superb, and the restaurant offered delicious in, room breakfast. the staff's service was exceptional as they were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my comfort.
The outdoor swimming pool was not as large as I expected, and during my visit, it was quite crowded. But, it wasn't a deal, breaker as there were also private facilities available.
