King George, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens

I have been several times to Athens and always wanted to visit King George hotel. Finally we had the opportunity to get a room and it did not disappoint. The view of Syntagama square added a lot, especially since it was already decorated for Christmas. The staff were very helpful and professional and overall everything was smooth and convenient. I want to point out four minor issues (this the 4 and not 5 stars): - Gym is too tiny and kind of poor. Feels like it was a "check" on gym without much thought. - The chocolate on the pillow is always a nice touch, but why do you place the cheapest greek chocolate? It feels kind of lazy. - We switched a room because the bath in the first room was very bad, low water pressure and we had to get very close to the edge of the bath to shower. The second room was similar, but had a very nice walk-in shower... even though in this shower the showerhead leaked and I got a splash of cold water each time. - Breakfast is very nice, but I think you can do much better on the eggs preparation. For example, my scrambled eggs and egg white omelette were very dry. Also, the coffee is kind of mediocre and I expect more from a luxury hotel. So overall, very good hotel, that does need a bit of a touchup to make it prefect.

This is a wonderful, centrally located hotel with excellent service. Our room was small but quite comfortable and well appointed. We only stayed one night but enjoyed the hotel bar with its excellent view of the Parthenon and also the very good breakfast in lovely surroundings.

If you’re planning a stay in Athens, Greece, look no further than the King George hotel. It’s in an excellent location (no car needed), with sumptuous accommodations, excellent service and delicious food at their Tudor Hall restaurant.

We stayed last year at the sister hotel Grande Bretagne and thought it would be interesting to compare the two hotels. For us the rooms were fairly similar – in both cases a Junior Suite and the staff were all lovely. Housekeeping and breakfast were both excellent, which was impressive given the hotel was at 100% occupancy. Where the difference was noticeable was at reception where it seemed like there weren’t enough staff to deal with all the guests at the same time. Being able to access the Grande Bretagne facilities was a definite advantage. We ate at Tudor Hall for dinner which was superb. Make sure to book early though as it can be hard to get a booking.

Arrived before noon and they accommodated us and got us into our upgraded suite (thanks to our titanium status). Amazing room. Front desk assistant was so friendly and attentive. Room was well equipped, breakfast was very nice. We love that we could utilize the rooftop bar and restaurant at the Hotel Bretagne. Every staff member in both properties went above and beyond to take care of us. Location was perfect. I booked a private tour through Viator and saw all the sights with an amazing guide, Antony. We did have dinner at Tudor Hall. Met and exceeded our expectations. The chef is creative and innovative. Would highly recommend this beautiful hotel!
