What guests think

At Grand Hotel Excelsior, travellers consistently praise the central location by the National Museum and seafront and the welcoming, helpful staff, while feedback on rooms and dining highlights both appealing strengths and a few recurring drawbacks to consider.

Rooms are often described as dated, with sporadic maintenance issues, limited soundproofing, and air conditioning that can be weak, though some guests note spacious layouts, sea views, and overall comfort. Breakfast and the on site restaurant receive frequent praise for quality and a panoramic setting, but several reviews mention limited hot options and extra charges for items like scrambled eggs. Cleanliness and housekeeping are generally solid, and parts of the property are undergoing renovation with occasional construction impacts. Expect a convenient base with classic, slightly worn rooms.

Excellent location next to the National Museum, RC Lido train station, Gelato Cesare, and the promenade. Only about 10 minute walk to the ferry port. Hotel had an excellent breakfast with many choices (muesli, fruit, yogurt, boiled eggs, ham and cheese, pastries, and even granita with brioche, among other options. They also had an excellent dinner menu. Rooms were clean and comfortable (AC helpful). I would stay here again.

Breakfast is good. Over average as breakfasts in Italy, but I find it weird that you have to pay for scramble eggs or a omelette. Rooms are old, but clean. The whole hotel could benefit from some renovation.

The staff were great! Helpful and accommodating. Special thanks to the housekeeping staff as they were amazing! The first room we had was a junior suite(401). It was nice and spacious but there was this funny smell when you enter the room. So we switched to the next room which had a seaview(superior suite 423) and it was so cute! Love the curtains and I specially like that there are blackout curtains. So if you want to have a sleep in it’s perfect! The air conditioning is not that great. Can only go down up to 22.5 and cannot do anything about it. The safe in room 401 was tiny but the 423 safe was big enough to fit my laptop. It is not soundproofed rooms. I can still hear the people outside my room. The breakfast was good. A lot of choices. But it would have been nice if there are hot food included in the buffet like scrambled eggs(need to pay extra), sausages etc. But still it was a good spread. All in all the had a great time staying in this hotel. Definitely recommend toom 401 if you want a spectacular view of the sea and Athena! Thank you Grand Hotel Excelsior for a wonderful experience. Hope the next time I come back the air conditioning will be able to go down to 16 degrees😄
