King George A Luxury Collection Hotel

"It was our first time visiting Athens, so I selected this hotel for its location to the various historical sites. The location was great and we were able to walk to the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, Ancient agora, Temple of Hephaestus, Stoa of Attalos, and other historical sites. As a lifetime Gold Elite member, I opted to include the breakfast buffet with our room reservation and was pleased with the extensive breakfast buffet. The restaurant is on the 7th floor with a view of the Acropolis. We also enjoyed a glass of wine in the 1st floor lobby bar. The hotel is described as an elegant and luxury hotel. Unfortunately, I didn’t get an upgrade, and we were very disappointed with our “Classic” guest room on the 8th floor for the following reasons: 1) The cushions on the couch need to be replaced because the foam inside has become so compressed, making sitting on the couch really uncomfortable (see photo). 2) The desk chair is badly stained and needs to be cleaned or replaced. 3) The bathroom had a very large bathtub with a shower attachment. When taking a shower, water leaked all over the marble floor because the glass panel was not sealed properly. We used lots of towels to mop up the water. 4) The thermostat didn’t work and the room was very warm. 5) The built-in cabinets and closets need to be repainted. It appears that only primer paint was used. The only positives: we were able to check into our room early at 10:30am and a comfortable king-size mattress. Room 814K definitely needs to be remodeled and updated."

"Great stay! Our room was already good (Grand Suite) and they upgraded to the Executive Acropolis Suite - what a room! Views were great. Service was great. Bed and other amenities were comfortable."

"What a fabulous hotel, just over 100 rooms. The staff were brilliant helpful, friendly and caring. Concierges, porters and front desk, morning servers. Comfortable bed, Super good soft goods, big towels and robes that fit a normal human being. Large bathroom, shower with a safety bar, but only one overhead shower head. Very good bathroom amenities and very good A/C. Turndown service and endless supplies of drinking water. A welcome gift on arrival and a note is such a personal part of hospitality after a long flight. Good sized mini suite. We enjoyed both bars, the roof top very nice indeed, and an excellent daily breakfast - those hand pies and the yoghurt wowsers. Excellent location for everything and the city bus tours. We did use the hotel car service which while expensive was totally reliable and safe. Close by were several very good restaurants. We cannot recommend this hotel staff enough."
