Palace Hotel Glyfada

Not worth the price

The staff were very nice however this hotel needs updating. It’s old and rooms are all
outdated with falling off paints and rusty faucet and shower.

Right by the beach and a 20 minute walk from a wide variety of really good restaurants so location is good. The hotel is rated a 4-star but is far from it. It desperately needs maintenance and upgrades to meet the standard of a 4-star. The reception area is cold and unwelcoming. The hotel personnel are dressed in casual clothing with nothing to associate them with the hotel. There is a big massage chair in reception that is so worn, it needs to be thrown away. This gave the impression of a cheap, 2-star trying to impress. This is not something I would expect of a 4-star rated hotel. Our TV remote was broken, the air-conditioning wasn't working but was fixed fairly quickly. Very small bathroom with a door that doesn't open properly because of the placement of the toilet. Tiny shower with a dirty shower curtain. No information card in the rooms with the number to call for reception or details of the restaurant or bar. There are signs for a rooftop bar but this was closed with no signs of it ever opening.
A plus is that the beds are comfortable and a good size.
We used the glasses in the rooms and left them out to be changed/cleaned. These weren't changed or cleaned for 4 days!
The fridge wasn't cold.
Water is given out at all restaurants in Greece but no waters were in the room, even on first arrival. We stayed at another 4-star hotel for 1 night and had water bottles in our room.
The hotel is quite run down and desperately needs upgrades and maintenance.
