Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Polis Grand Hotel is frequently praised for its excellent breakfast buffet, with a great selection of options. Many guests enjoyed the rooftop bar and restaurant, especially for its spectacular evening views of the Acropolis; however, some found the corridors a bit dark. The hotel is conveniently located within a short walk of Psyri's trendy bars and restaurants, as well as being a 15-minute walk from Monastiraki Square and near the Metro station.

broad selection main sites
the breakfast had a broad selection to meet all tastes (a huge plus!). the hotel was within walking distance of main sites. i not sketchy at all .
the outside of the hotel was a bit underwhelming on arrival.
the breakfast buffet was expansive i discovered a varied selection of foods there. i found a nearby parking garage offering convenient access. the rooftop bar provided an enjoyable experience with its setting.
The corridors seemed a bit dark. It affected the overall mood slightly.

The rooftop restaurant seemed to struggle with service. Our meals arrived lukewarm. i suspect they prefer you eat elsewhere. It started early and made relaxation impossible. honestly, it was a bit of a shock to the system.

small room paper walls
The size of the room was almost funny. I mean, I knew it was a Comfort Double Room, but I didn't realize that meant I'd be practically living in the bed. the soundproofing? Nonexistent. Every little noise from the hall reminded me of a personal concert. You could hear other guest every single time. It's like the walls were made of paper or something.

the reception staffs were very helpful and polite. i really liked the rooftop restaurant with the acropolis view. it was a great bonus for breakfasts.
my room was a little small with thin walls. i could hear nearby guests late at night. i think a good soundproofing will improve the experience.
