REVIEWS

Home away from Home

We first stayed at the Excelsior Hotel on the recommendation of a Greek Friend and we have never been disappointed. Whenever we return to Thessaloniki, the Excelsior Hotel is our first hotel of choice.

Simplicity and luxury combined, exemplary service

Great comfort, great spot, great service! Surprised I hadn’t discovered it earlier, looking forward to staying there again. My first choice in accommodation in Thessaloniki center I recommend it to everybody.

Great Hotel

This is an extremely well run boutique hotel. It has a great location situated on a road between the main shopping road and the sea front promenade. It is in a fairly recently modernised and refurbished classical building with its own pavement cafe.
