King George, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens

Spent one night here after Adriatic cruise. Check in smooth but room unavailable for 1 hour which was OK since we were early. Common areas very attractive reflecting understated elegance. Location hard to beat as central to everything. Room was on small side, had no lounge chair but an oversized desk which could be replaced by 1 to 2 lounge chairs for better comfort and relaxation. Bathroom a tight fit with only one basin, a tub shower combo that was difficult to get in/out for octogenarians, banged head on shower glass several times when using the commode, and no bath mat provided. Room location was terrific with balcony and incredible view of Syntagma Square, Parliament and Changing of the Guard. Elevators were unbelievably small and one of the two bounced and shook when operating. Bellhops and front desk personnel were extremely helpful. For the price charged expected a better room situation. Have left a separate review of the Tudor restaurant and the new lobby bar.

If your idea of a vacation is staying in a rundown 18th century English country house, this is the place for you. Staff are very nice. We got upgraded to a suite. It was very clean and I’m sure was nice 90 years ago, but otherwise rundown. Otherwise, disappointing. Stay somewhere else.

Beautiful property. Great central Athens location, close to many of the desired destinations of the city. Walkable to Acropolis, the Plaka, Leucabettus Hill, Parliament and tour pickup spots. Amazing breakfasts and coffee with view of the Acropolis. Would stay again.

Where to begin? We had an A+ stay at the King George. Every detail, from the elegant rooms to the seamless service, made our visit unforgettable. The staff—from the front desk to the restaurant team to housekeeping—were consistently kind, helpful, and genuinely committed to ensuring our comfort. Breakfast was a particular highlight, with a gorgeous, unobstructed view of the Acropolis that felt almost surreal. We were truly impressed by the level of hospitality and beauty throughout the hotel.

Came to Athens for the first time with my family, and King George was the place to stay. The entire staff were all so helpful and never made us wait long for any of our request. Especially Katherine, from the Tudor hall staff. The continental breakfast was scrumptious and had a view of the Acropolis! Overall the service was great, and the rooms were very comfortable. All of the toiletries were Byredo products, very snazzy and exclusive to the hotel.
