Axel's take: 7.7/10
A handy city base with excellent breakfast, but room condition varies. A simple 3-star in a historic building in central Thessaloniki, scored for what it is.
Le Palace is a simple 3-star in a neoclassical building on Thessaloniki’s busy Tsimiski Street. It's a strong pick for a short, car-free city break: shops, restaurants, Aristotelous Square and the waterfront are close by. Booking.com and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the Greek breakfast, helpful staff and generally clean rooms. We'd choose it for convenience and good value rather than stylish interiors.
The main catch is inconsistent room condition. Recent guests describe both comfortable, refreshed rooms and tired accommodation with worn bathrooms; some say the photos set expectations too high. Ask the hotel to confirm a renovated room before booking. Street noise and cramped or awkward bathrooms also crop up, and parking is off-site and paid. We'd skip it if quiet sleep, reliably modern rooms or easy driving access are priorities.
