Rooms tiny and old looking

No pool and spa was out of service.

Good old world hotel with good location but needs updating
Pros:

We recently returned from a brief stay at The King George (family with 2 rooms) - this was our second stay. I feel badly critiquing because the staff does try hard - but we were somewhat disappointed. The hotel was crowded and the lobby area always felt disorganized. There were check in and check out lines and the staff often seemed disorganized and frazzled. The lobby is grand and nicely appointed - there is always water for the guests. The lobby bar area is very nice too. The breakfast is fantastic - one of the best in Athens with a view of the Acropolis. This did not disappoint! And there is a good gym for anyone wanting / needing this service. The rooms seem old and really needing a face lift (I felt this way when last there 10 years ago) - they are clean and cared for but need to be more contemporary. Our daughter had a single room which was way too small and it's interior window faced the breakfast area! Also our rooms were not available until after 4 pm, which is also unacceptable. The staff was apologetic and offered food credits - which is not helpful when you are there for a brief stay. When we came back through Athens we stayed elsewhere and were happier.

A warm, luxurious stay with spectacular views
Pros:

The staff were warm and friendly, the restaurants served delicious food, and our tasting menu experience at Tudor Hall was exceptional. The view of the Acropolis and Parliament at breakfast and dinner can’t be matched. We watched the changing of the guards multiple times from the comfort of the breakfast balcony. Each time we interacted with the staff at this hotel, they provided recommendations to elevate our visit. The housekeeping was diligent and the air conditioning was powerful which helped after the warm climate.

Great Location – Bad Room
Pros:

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.

Comfortable 😊
Pros:

Location, Amenities and beautiful classic old building.

Cons:

We stayed in a standard classic bedroom, nothing special. The bed is extremely comfortable. But we think the price is overpriced.

The Hotel to stay In Athens - every time
Pros:

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.
