Consistently renovated annually, with attention to detail paramount
The Polis Grand Hotel makes beautiful use of its artwork, by displaying it throughout. The décor of the rooms is just as attractive, combining tasteful colors with contemporary furnishings. The restaurant serves up international as well as Greek dishes, and there is a brasserie located on the ground floor. Stretching up over 10 floors, the rooftop restaurant provides beautiful panoramas of the city. Guests wanting to go further afield will not have to venture far to visit the top attractions or prime shopping streets of the capital.

This is a find, a keeper.
This is a well run hotel with excellent, well trained and attentive staff. The view of the Acropolis from the rooftop Restaurant and Bar is splendid. The rooms are comfortable and the room cleaning staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is ample and tasty. I recommend that you give it a try. I am a repeat visitor and generally plan to stay there when on business in Athens.

Nice place, bad neighbors
Great view of the Acropolis from my room balcony and the rooftop terrace. A/c worked but didn't drown out traffic noise. Prostitutes were abundant right around the corner and drug dealers and users were a couple of doors down from the hotel and also around the corner. Facility appeared clean but my room had bugs on the bed and walls. The hotel staff did not offer to reduce my hotel fare when I told them about the bug problem. Staff was very informative and helpful about dining options in the area and they called a cab for me when I departed.

Once you get past the prostitutes and druggies, the neighborhood is fine to walk in.

View of Parthenon worth stay
The hotel was a five minute walk from the Omonia metro (subway) station. The street on which the hotel is located was a straight walk (10-12 minutes) to the Acropolis. Great restaurants and shopping surrounded the hotel. The rooftop restaurant/bar had a breathtaking view of the Parthenon. And after sunset, the Parthenon is lighted making the view even more spectacular. The hotel staff acted more like relatives than the expected service staff at most hotels. They were friendly and sometimes brusk, but always caring. The elevators are quirky, the rooms clean and comfortable, the food delicious. Can't beat it for the price.
