Gerace Holidays from £548

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😄

Amazing views and great breakfast. We stayed in the older section and the rooms are not up to date. Room had ants on the desk, we could not get our room switched to a different section, only offer the room next door. Air conditioning smelled moldy. We stayed there during a wedding which was a bad idea. Loud music went late into the night along with fireworks. Entrance is very steep, difficult to get in and out of the resort. Overall, it could be amazing, but too many issues, even ran out of toilet paper and was tough to get more. Overall was not a great stay.

We visited off season, so the ocean experience was not important...we loved the town and the livelyness and vibrancy of the town. In the evening the whole population seemed to come out. Everyone was friendly and helpful.
