I have been struggling to rate this hotel. Positives: the initial reception at the hotel was great, the bar service was great, good selection at breakfast, plenty of plugs in the room. The bellman was great and helpful. The rooms are OK. The front desk staff was unfortunately variable.

Now this is a review of a 5 STAR hotel. Not some chain, not place with an 8 in the name so that being said it was mediocre at best. Being my only time in Greece there’s not much to compare it to but a string of other 5 start hotels we’ve stayed at. The customer service, the restaurant, the room all left you wanting better. One because the views from the pool are amazing! But also because the location does lend to a 5 start experience you were hoping for when you booked the room. The water pressure is fine but the bathroom looks like it was from the 60’s, the gap in the room door to the hallway was large, the “courtyard” that’s an odd way of spinning view of a wall. The restaurant in ok but at a premium price. Not a bad stay by any means but the only thing that leaves you satisfied is the view. An amazing 3 star hotel in a 5 star location

Needs a total restructuring of the personnel. This is what you hear all the night in a five star hotel (unfortunately I could not upload the video due to Google's policies but feel free to text me and I will send to you video of noise during the whole night like a garbage truck noise at your bed). So-called ''front office manager'' was never reachable to the guests to talk about it. Not sure what was his/her responsibility. As an answer to the answer of the hotel, thanks that we have been five guests in the hotel. All of them will be writing down their experiences in the next days and the invisibility of the front office manager. So please keep on hiding yourselves of the problem rather than looking at your issues and your processes. In regards to the noise, can you please ask your front office manager to try to sleep in the room that the video is taken? The reason of the video with open windows was to show where the noise was coming from.

I travel a lot, and I know many 4* hotels that are much better than this 5*, the service and facilities do not match the 5*, I was really disappointed. + a great view of the whole Athens (if you pay for it) + always a perfectly tidy room, everything added + a bottle of water in the room every day + a small pool on the roof with a great view + upon request, they changed my pillow that was too high for a more comfortable one - rooms and bathroom quite small (even in the extra room) - only instant coffee in the room, today's modern hotels already have capsule coffee machines everywhere, minibar only by order - the hotel is on a steep, long hill, physically demanding, especially with luggage - breakfast suitable for a 3* hotel, I haven't seen such a small selection for a long time - the luxury hotel restaurant was a big disappointment, although the view was great, but even though I had reserved a table (if you book the table online, they want from you 40 Eur for reservation, this is joke?) and I booked surprise for my husband, because it was his birthday that day, the table was not set at all, let alone ceremonially (they set it up before us and unprofessionally) and no candle in the cake either, I was really furious, they ruined my whole evening. The meat instead of medium was well-done for both dishes, my boiled vegetables and potatoes were completely cold and tasteless. For this money! I can't believe a Michelin chef cooks here.

The hotel is very old and and needs restoration. Sanitary ware are in bad condition are about 20 years old and need to be changed There are no facilities within the hotel just a spa and a restaurant to the roof top which is nothing special except the view. The breakfast is very poor. However is one of the best neighborhoods in Greece.

Let's start with the positive: the location is sublime. High enough up Mount Lycabettus that you have a sensational view over all of Athens, the Acropolis, even the sea from the rooftop restaurant. Walk down the road, past little art galleries and charming shops, and in 10 minutes you are on Syntagma Square, with shopping and museums available. And, er, that's it, because the hotel itself is hugely disappointing considering the prices it charges: €250 for a smallish room giving out on the "courtyard" (little more than a light well), €350 a night for a not much bigger room on the side of the hotel that gives you a view (Acropolis to your left when you're on the balcony; mostly Lycabettus itself from inside the room). The furnishing style is impersonal and banal, not unlike a Mercure hotel. The bathrooms are dark and unpractical, with weak water pressure that makes it useless to try and take a full shower. The unheated swimming pool on the rooftop is small, the paint around it is cracked, and you have to take your shower in your room afterwards if you don't want to be charged extra by the spa (which I did not use). In other words, this is neither a five-star, nor a "lifestyle" hotel at all. The staff were very nice, but all looked overworked. I did not try the upstairs restaurant, which is not cheap (a meal à la carte is above €60 a head without wine, which will get you a truly glorious dinner in town: in fact, for less than that you can walk 5 minutes from the hotel to the Lycabettus cable car and have an excellent meal on top of the hill at the Orizontes Restaurant, a setting worthy of a James Bond movie, which has a fabulous view over the city, the Mediterranean and the closest islands.

First of all the services and their staff was that polite and helping that i had not experianced at any place i visited & It is one of the best views in town located in one of the most exclusive parts of Athens & Fabulous location with easy reach of all the main sites in Athens Such a peaceful place to chill out after a hot day site seeing restaurant’s and roof top pool’s view! can not be beaten by anyother place that i had visited yet and it's Quite, safe neighborhood with shops, cafes and restaurants. Easy walk to access the edge of the historic sites.

While the neighborhood and view were fantastic, the rooms are absolutely tiny and the bed and pillows have the singular honor of being the LEAST comfortable I’ve ever slept on in any hotel. They are incredibly hard and bouncy, so every tiny movement is felt by your bed-mate. I don’t have super high expectations for a hotel, but for 5 stars I expect to be able to sleep at all. Another concern is noise from rooms above - we could hear every step and noise our neighbors made. Again the hotel view and bar is amazing and the neighborhood rocks but I’d never stay again.

The views from the restaurant and pool area are stunning! The rooms and beds are comfy, but small. The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is somewhat unreliable public transport.

One of best 5* hotel in Athens offers stunning views by day and specially by night. Establishment feature a signature spa ,mini gym with sauna and rooftop swimming pool. Parts of hotel is renovated, in case of old rooms amenities are bit worn out especially power switches and room lamps. Pleased surprised by USB type 2 and USB C charging ports near to the beds. Staff very polite ready to assit anytime. Will come back to visit again.

I spent one week in this hotel. It’s an “okay” hotel, nothing more. The views from the breakfast balcony is the best. You have a overview of the city and the Parthenon. The rest is not very good. Gym is totally useless. The rooms are small and very very old fashion. Service could be improved. This place needs a renovation.

The view of the acropolis is awesome. There is a confusing layout with different elevators going to different floors. One one goes to the roof out of the 3 elevators. Close roof deck early, if you are looking to see the acropolis at night. I wouldn't spend the money on this place again.

I agree with the review before mine. Terrible service and this is NOT a five star or close. Gym is a joke(extremely small, no water or towels), breakfast buffet is minimal. Service there is brutal. The view is the only thing I can say is nice. This should be a $200/night hotel at most. Also rooms are not what are advertised as. I booked a city view with balcony and we got a balcony on the first floor looking at the backside of another building..Most people around us at breakfast also stated they would never stay again..I certainly will not and for the price tag I feel completely ripped off.

Guys, sorry but this place was a ripped off a pure Joke, how come they send you email asking your to make an offer for upgrade. I choose the most exclusive one. well ended-up getting a room not clean, with someone else Nails out the floor, and a tiny side balcony from which you can acropolis like 5 km away. I asked and spoke to manager. his answer "the price is for the View ".. come-on.. please give me a break ..😡😡🤬🤬. He needs to travel a bit to know what's a View. Sorry but would not recommend this place and will never go there again. Maybe next time will allow us to give Zero star for this review please.

Rooftop pool is pretty ok but there is a very annoying noise from the air conditioning unit which is behind a wooden wall next to the pool area. Rather than that its a cool place for relaxing. You can go there even of you are not staying at the hotel but you have to pay extra. Around 20€ per person. Prices are little bit expensive there, but the view is great.

Attentive and friendly staff, very good food and an view to die for. The view alone justifies the 5 Star Rating. The only downside: the Pool Terrace on the rooftop is located directly beside the main AC unit, so it’s pretty noisy up there.

The location of this hotel is the only good thing about it. It has the worst service I've ever seen and I've been to many hotels. They never answer the phone, they don't clean under the bed and they lost my white shirt with the bedsheets. Their corridor always has cleaning products lying around. This is certainly not the five stars hotel it claims to be. I had a terrible experience.

Definitely one of the best views in town located in one of the most exclusive parts of Athens. Walking distance to old town/sights/subway/shopping. VERY friendly, helpful personnel. The rooms are not too big, but very comfortable, clean, magnificent view, many (all?) with their own balcony. And it’s quiet at nights. The restaurant on top floor offers an outstanding cuisine. We’ve been staying there many times and have NEVER been disappointed. We are always happy to come back.

I went twice for a day use on the pool, view is very nice, food is good, service is fine, Joyce is the best. Other girls by the pool where not so helpful. The cocktail wasn’t good at all, asked her several times for a bottle of water and after three times she got me a cup, till Joyce got it as soon as she came. The first time I came even Joyce checked my preference from white or brown toast, double confirmed that food has eggs and ham, but second time non of the girls even seem to care. Towels were smelly, food takes so much time to come. Club sandwich second time was also v cold. Over all it is a lovely place but the pool is very small, and not the best.Not to be repeated. Not considered a 5 stars hotel.

Hello, I stayed in the hotel for 3 days, everything was good, the stuff as well were very kind. But it’s been 4 days I’m waiting for the receipt. They said they will send it by email and till now they didn’t. Dear service, please do some efforts to send me the receipt as soon as possible, thank you. Soukaina BENOMAR

Rooms are very basic and sparsely appointed... but comfortable. What stands out about this hotel is its rooftop restaurant. The food is very good, service excellent, and views of the city and the Parthenon impressive.

Lovely hotel with very great character. A bit older but the location and views are spectacular. Have breakfast while viewing the Acropolis.

I was only here for the rooftop bar and it was great. Good food and drinks. The balcony is fantastic, as is the view. Its a bit of a way out of the centre but only a short taxi ride away.

I just want to stay everyone from start to finish was so fantastic here. The bellman, to housekeeping, the restaurant upstairs, made it a wonderful pleasant stay, when I know it has been a long summer with long hours for them. Specifically would like to say Roxanne in housekeeping, Dimitri with luggage, Christos the maître d' for dinner upstairs along with Harris, and Dimitris from breakfast service. Amazing. Thank you

Great stay, as always. The location and view is unbeatable. Staff is very professional and friendly. I will be back.

Booked and paid for our room weeks in advance.Charged us an extra 200 euros for a room with a balcony when we were leaving. Not happy

Rooms on the smaller side, but to be expected from European hotels. Everything else is top notch and with excellent views of the Parthenon. I highly recommend it.

Too expensive for the services it provides. No sauna, hotel rooms are very very small.some facing the street. The pool cannot fit all guests. 2 slow and small elevators. But, very good service, nice view from the pool andd I guess the location is nice, not too far from the acropolis by taxi and just far enough for some quiet...

I did not stay here, just went for the day to use the lovely rooftop pool. It's 32 euros to use the pool, but trust me, it's worth every penny. You get one free non alcoholic drink and towels with your fee, and the staff is wonderful. You can order food by the pool, and they come around and give you all the water you can drink. The food was delicious as well. Highly recommend.

Very nice hotel. Had what we needed for our stay in Athens. The staff was very helpful and communicative before and during our trip. We were worried about the fires nearby before our trip and we reached out for information and they were quick to respond and put my mind at ease. They also helped get us taxis and get us a rental car for one of our days there. The view and balcony from our room was worth the stay. The staff also left a bottle of Champaign in our room which was a very nice welcome. Not sure if that was standard or because we were on our honeymoon but it was a nice touch. The pool is nice but crowded. The breakfast was pretty good as well. We did not eat in the restaurant for other meals but we did have some drinks. The drinks are overpriced but that was expected for a hotel and you pay for the view. I'm not sure if the pandemic got them behind on their maintenance but for a 5 star hotel I would expect an impeccable room. It was clean and very nice but there were a few things broken and some finishes that were damaged. Not a big deal but for 5 star I would not have expected this. I would also expect to have a few more modern upgrades, small things like USB plugs. Picture is from our balcony.

Only spent the day at the pool — very relaxing, great service, great view, and no screaming kids lol. The 20-eur Greek salad is kind of ridiculous (?!) but I guess in the end worth it for the nice day.

Small rooms but nice personell and good view.

Great view, nice hotel!

This is the second time that I am staying at Saint George Lycabettus and as always the stay was exceptional. Great customer service, helpful and professional staff, comfortable room and perfect location!

Thank you St. George Lycabettus Hotel staff for excellent care and service . I had stayed here before and knew my husband and our child would love it, too. From the very first contact to inquire about reservations, Georgina and coworkers were very helpful and answered all questions/ concerns. Special thanks to all who reply to texts chats! When I realized my family would arrive very late, they promptly replied that the kitchen would be closed by then, but arranged to have delicious sandwiches there for them. Reasonably priced and so appreciated by my family. And just the stunning view of the Acropolis and Athens is priceless.We hope to return soon!Thank you again.

Excellent martini; staff first rate. Wonderful view from my table. I ordered sea bream. The bream wasn’t freshly cooked, also I didn’t think the vegetables were. Eating the fish was a struggle as it was dry lacking in light freshness of flavour and the vegetables and the celery sauce had no life, no flavour. I’m accustomed to local fine dining in Soho London.. not 5 star just brilliant local restaurants and some excellent tapas bars. This is very odd because the St George restaurant has a high rating. Chef has let the name down for me and I couldn’t recommend the restaurant. CH

What can I say. It’s a disappointing experience, unless 225€ for a night gives you only half the standard of what one should expect from a 5* hotel. No amenities in a small bathroom that presents a lot of wear. The same evening, they managed to put twice a cleaned and disinfected sticker on a door to a room we already started using, rug in bedroom wasn’t properly vacuumed and I found a shaver’s blade protection on the floor in the bathroom. If I can’t say this is a bad hotel, the general experience is poor. The hotel seems old, lacking proper investments and care. The fame is long overdue.

Disappointed. The rooftop bar - essentially the reason I chose this hotel - was shut for two out of the three days we stayed, first for a conference, then a wedding. How can you call yourself a "lifestyle" hotel when your guests do not even have access to a bar? Just appalling and not what I expect for 400 euros a night. Also our room was not cleaned today despite leaving a 'please clean' sign on the door for 4 hours. I would definitely recommend this neighbourhood but choose a different hotel. Reducing my rating to 1* following your ridiculous generic reply. You market your hotel on the basis of your rooftop bar and restaurant - that is what allows you to charge the rates you do. It is not acceptable to then sell the amenities guests have already paid for to others, leaving your guests unable to use them. For a 5* hotel I would also expect a Nespresso machine in my room (not sachets of Nescafe) and a mini bar (particularly if that is ONLY bar). Staff are also very hit and miss - some are absolutely charming and really helpful, others clearly could not be less interested as can be seen from the reply to my review. The rooms themselves are comfortable but small. The bar is fantastic when you can actually use it.

Very nice hotel in Kolonaki, rooms à bit small, but nicely decorated, very comfortable beds. All rooms with balcony. The restaurant has an amazing view over the Acropole and entire Athens. Rooftop pool and terrace a plus (but no shade). Staff very friendly. When we stayed it was extremely expensive for a 4 star hotel, but it's a nice pace in a fancy area of town.

We stayed for a long weekend. The rooftop of the hotel is breathtaking and most of the personnel was very friendly! I felt a bit surprised that I wasn't asked how am I or how was my stay during check out, and the valet at the parking working since 1982 was a bit rude.

Well when it comes to location and their salad it was great and some of the staff was very friendly. However considering the amount I paid and that this hotel was given a 5 star I beg to differ. Here is why - 1-rooms design weren't that great ( design wise) and (bathroom) there was a leak in our rooms whenever you showered and forget about taking a bath unless you want the whole bathroom to flood. But the view was great (so something to compensate) fyi rooms are very tiny. 2- towels were very old and not washed very well considering this is a 5 star hotel I expected better. 3- skip the breakfast pay as there are so much better options around the hotel. 4- there was an issue with hotel time extension after checkout which was respectfully handled and refunded which I appreciate. I don't know if this hotel is connected to the St George in helsinki because there are definitely differences. The reason I'm giving this rating is because comparing it to my experience of 5 star hotels it has it's mishaps but as I encountered respectable service I wouldn't mind giving it another go on my next visit to Athens to compare changes.

You can’t beat the restaurant’s and roof top pool’s view! Quite, safe neighborhood with shops, cafes and restaurants. Easy walk to access the edge of the historic sites. Staff was friendly and helpful - ie calling us to relay airlines message re lost luggage. Only ate breakfast- buffet was a good spread, not included in our room rate. Rooms show well, but felt sightly crowded - bed was a bit firm for my liking.

Fabulous location with easy reach of all the main sites in Athens. Superb views from the breakfast terrace and the pool. Such a peaceful place to chill out after a hot day site seeing. Staff were very attentive, breakfast was brilliant and a really comfortable hotel. I highly recommend it.

Perfect location. A lot of options for food and drink in 5-10min walking. Hotel parking is charged as extra (which is not very common and quite expensive (almost 1/8 of the room price)) if you also consider that the areas is not parking friendly. Noise externally and internally is an evidence of poor sound proof. For a hotel of this prestige you'd expect a bit better performance on that area.
