The hotel location is fantastic and the pool was really cool - specially to relax after walking all over the Acropolis. The rooms are very small and they will be comparable to the worst room at a hotel in the U.S. The views from our room were really nice. This hotel is definitely NOT a 5 star hotel. more

We booked (and paid for) our stay months in advance, then arrived to be told there were no available rooms and we would be offered a free transfer to another hotel "5 minutes" away. We politely but firmly declined the offer, saying we had paid a premium to stay specifically at the Electra Palace, and asked to speak to the... more

The location of this hotel is good, but my back hurt from the ridiculously hard bed. The rooms are not attractive. The staff is not super friendly or incredibly helpful. We stayed at four other hotels in Greece and this way our least favorite. I would not stay there again. There are other hotel that are nicer and relatively the... more

I stayed here 2 nights at the end of a tour, and specifically made the reservations here to be in the Plaka area. It was a little bit more pricey than other hotels I had seen, but I must say, it was worth every penny. My elderly mother and I took a cab here from the Hotel Metropolitan. Upon arrival,... more

We found the Electra Palace Hotel located in the Plaka (Athen's old town) at the foot of the Acropolis ideally situated for exploring on foot. many of the sights of interest to the tourist. Taxis are available in front of the hotel, and two subway stations are near. The Lobby is rather impressive in its classic elegance, and liberal use... more

My husband and I stayed 3 nights. I booked online for 230 Euros a night, however the travel agency wanted 400 euros a night! We had a standard room that was clean, nothing spectacular. The breakfast buffet was amazing! Fresh squeezed orange juice, sausages, potatoes, eggs, fruits, cereals, tea and coffe, breads...it was so delicious. This hotel is located in... more

We were in Athens two weekends on both ends of a cruise, and stayed in this hotel the second weekend. I had checked earlier, and the rooms here were extremely expensive, but a couple of days before I checked again and the rooms were reasonable, I guess because the hotel was not full, so I booked the rooms. The hotels... more

This hotel is a must consideration for any trip to Athens. Location was exactly right-on for walking to the historic sights, the restaurants and shopping. The rooms were very well appointed and well cleaned. I want to especially highlight the service staff, especially the Concierge, Panos, and the bell staff. They were always helpful, friendly and correct in their advice. more

We reserved a room with the acropolis view and it was amazing. We highly recommend it. The staff and accommodations were superb! We will definitely always stay here. The location is perfect and very centrally located, but very quiet. more
