We were with a private tour of 30 friends and stayed at the Hotel Electra on Ermou Street near the Plaka. At first, I was turned off by the Plaka because it is very touristy but the narrow streets grew on me as I explored the area. Lots of shops and restuarants. We loved the hotel. Our room had a... more

A very centrally located Hotel, in the heart of Athens, close to Syntagma Station, the Plaka and the Acropolis. Positioned in a pedestrian zone, Ermou Street, with loads of shops in the area. The location is perfect, the hotel leaves a bit to desire. I spend 7 nights there. Three of the nights where over 246 Euro. Definitely not worthed.... more

I was in Athens on a business trip for 3 days. My company booked the hotel since it was in the center of everything in Athens. And, yes the location is perfect, just outside Synthagma square on one of the main walking streets. But, the hotel had very, very small guest rooms, at least those I saw. The bathroom is... more

Stayed at the Electra for 6 nights this month. The best quality is the location, right next to Syntagma square and close proximity to major Athens attractions.

The proximity to the Plaka district, the Acropolis as well as the metro made our few short days in Athens not feel rushed. Our double room was VERY small but spotless. Once our... more

We stayed here for one night since the Electra Palace was booked. We were not disappointed. We booked directly with the hotel online and were pleasantly surprised at check in when we were upgraded from a standard room to a top floor suite with a large balcony. Bathroom was a little small though. The hotel was in a great location... more

A very nice property well placed close to the Metro rail station and also the Plaka. Be sure that you give the Taxi Driver the name of the Hotel and the address as there is another Electra Hotel in close proximity and only because we had stayed at this property previously that we knew we weren't at the correct place.... more
