A really great quality hotel. We only stayed there for the day after being on a cruise. Lovely pool area with a retractable roof. The bar area and restaurant were also good and very clean. Service was very good and not to expensive .we had both lunch and dinner with drinks all day . Staff super helpful and friendly.

We stayed here last week for an entire week and although the hotel's proximity to the beach is fantastic, it leaves a lot to be desired. We got lucky and got one of the newly renovated rooms. It was quite nice with separate bedroom and two full bathrooms. It has a great little balcony overlooking the pool and views of the sea, and good AC. Another positive was the proximity to the tram which you could take to the centre of Glyfada which was approximately 12 minutes away. This was handy and the centre of Glyfada is nice for Greece, expensive but nice. The service was hit or miss with this place. You can tell the hotel staff was way overworked. They were there 7 days a week and clearly weren't getting enough rest. Some days they were nice and some days didn't want to have anything to do with you. The pool was a decent size but was incredibly cloudy and dirty most of our trip. We would see the pool maintenance man come around 9am every day (a little late in the morning if you ask me) but the state of the pool remained the same. I don't think the filtration system worked properly. The other annoying thing was the pool closed at 19:00 when sun down wasn't until 21:00! So weird! The menu was decent but the prices were completely arbitrary. You can get an amazing turkey and cheese panini with a beautiful side of fries for 5€ but if you ordered a coffee over ice it was 4,50€. What!? Doesn't make any sense. A mojito was 10€ but if you got a fancy mojito you could spend about 14€, whilst a delicious plate of two filets of sea bass with salad and potatoes was only 14€. Just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I recommend lowering the prices of the drinks by half at least and you'll have everyone hanging out more. When we booked online the hotel stated they had a lovely rooftop terrace bar overlooking the sea, and the pictures online were amazing. Well......that was never open. We went up there several times and each time were told, "Yeah sorry it's not open". It looked like it was permanently shut. Absolute shame. All in all this hotel charged upwards of €300 a night for a family of 2 adults and 2 children and it was by no means worth it. I understand that Glyfada is unnecessarily expensive but this hotel was outside of the centre of Glyfada and was again unnecessarily expensive. Please see below a picture of the Palace Hotel pool under us and the neighbouring pool.

Palace Hotel was super clean, had spacious rooms with a comfortable bed, great views of the gulf, plus a great pool/bar/restaurant area. Breakfast was amazing! I highly recommend staying here and hope to return on my next trip.
