We stayed here on a family holiday over New Year's eve. The place is exquisite. In the Heart of central Athens, this hotel maintains an old school charm, whilst offering beautiful, clean and very comfortable rooms. A true 5 star hotel. The wonderful breakfast, is also noteworthy, as is the service.

This was our second stay at King George Palace, and our confidence was well placed. The location is fantastic, right on Syntagma Square, and a short walk to the Plaka. We were a bit concerned before arrival, having seen the riots in the square on TV before leaving home. We needn't have bothered, the staff were well prepared for any occurrence . The rooms are all individually decorated, so vary a lot. however, the style and taste is all nice. Mostly older style with a bit of art deco thrown in, but very tasteful, and a nice change from most hotels. Breakfast overlooking the square and Acropolis is a great way to start the day. Dining on the verandah with fresh air and a view at a relaxed pace. The way breakfast should be. The staff too are very polite and helpful and will cater to your needs in a professional manner. A nice property, highly recommended. One word of warning about Athens though, be aware and keep an eye on your belongings, pick pocketing is rife. We have had a number of close calls, and friends who weren't so lucky.

Can't believe anyone wouldn't love this place!!

We stayed at the end of our Venice to Athens cruise on Azamara. It was one of the choices in the arrangements they provided. We choose this hotel due to the location and we were very glad for many other reasons. We found the staff, especially the bellman and all the staff at the front desk helpful and pleasant. They catered to our every need, even supplied a wheelchair for our friend who had fallen on the ship.

The breakfast was included in our package and in true european style it was amazing in content and quality! I love the large capers and the croissants and rolls w/ unusual jams. You can get your eggs cooked to order or have them from the buffet. They serve fresh squeezed orange juice and grapefruit juice. There are so many options at various stations including ozzo and champagne. The heart shaped air dried salami was also excellent.

The rooms are beautifully appointed and each has its own personality. The chandeliers and other lighting can be set to dim as you leave. The bathrooms are functional and beautiful, even the hallways are decorative.The desks and side chairs are antique and each one is different. We were at the hotel with friends so we were able to see other rooms.

Wi Fi is free and we had no problem with fast service. There is a buy one get one free happy hour that we missed but wish we had gone to see the view from the restaurant at night, it is spectacular for breakfast early!

The only small (-) is that they need to upgrade the quality of the towels and tissues.

We are thinking of a return trip to Athens just to stay there again!

I stayed in November 2011 for 2 nights. The change of ownership to Classic network has not changed the main attraction for this hotel excellent position in Syntagma Square and outstanding service.
I had a luxury large room with a balcony overlooking Acropolis! The noise of Syntagma Square was minimised by a well-made window.
A plus in free Internet Wi-Fi in the rooms.
The only problem I had was the shower both on the bath tube: very difficult to adjust water temperature as the taps are of an obsolete type.
The business centre is far from being an attraction: two desktop in the basement near the toilet entry!
