Nice hotel, shockingly rude and small-minded staff!!! We have stayed at this hotel twice now. It is in an enviable position in the Plaka. The shops and tavernas of the Plaka are a few steps away and it is also close to the Acropolis and other sights, plus a short walk from Syntagma square. The rooms are well equipped and... more

As a gay couple we were very disapointed with how we were treated from the staff. Snide coments & visual hand guestures, Which is not what we except in a FIVE STAR hotel. We have stayed in many five star hotels over the years and have never never had this. It wasnt only at us, we saw it being done... more

Summary: Great location and a very nice looking hotel, but lacking in the basic functionalities. I believe this hotel to be over-priced for what it has to offer. Pro's: - Location - this hotel is very close (walking distance) to many of the cultural sights, good restaurants, and good night life. - Elegant - a nice lobby and a rooftop... more

Large foyer and outdoor area on the ground floor is just the first surprise with this hotel. There is a rooftop pool which looks at the Acropolis. The rooms are roomy with little extra touches like robes and slippers. Right next to the Plaka. Breakfast was lovely although the waiters could be a little more friendlier and the coffee hotter.... more

OK ! My mother and I have just co,e back from three days at the Electra. We were expecting less(!) for the price, and were pleasantly surprised. An Acropolis view room is clearly the way to go. Why, when visiting Athen's for the first time wouldnt you want an Acroplis view ? I had a time convincing my Mother of... more

When I booked this hotel I thought it was 4 star, and I'd say 3-4 is an accurate rating, but 5?? I agree w/ some other reviewers here on many of the negatives: 1. Staff not the friendliest or most welcoming, though waiters were nicer than desk staff. One woman acted like I was asking for her first born when... more

We recently checked into the Electra Palace Hotel in Athens for a weekend stay. We chose this hotel above all for its location and it is indeed in a great position in the heart of the Plaka district. It’s a short walk to the Acropolis, museums, numerous restaurants and shops, as well as Syntagma Square. The hotel calls itself a... more

We enjoyed our stay at this Hotel. Located in the Plaka, it was easy for us to stroll and find everythig- shops, restaurants. (Greek food is great for us, weightwatchers). We felt very wellcomed - they helped us with cabs,maps,restaurant suggestions,etc. more

Very well-appointed hotel, but reception and bell staff need more than a few lessons in common courtesy and politeness. We prepaid our entire stay but were quite coldly greeted upon arrival, even though being fluent Greek speakers. We had to request room changes 3 times because apparently the staff did not understand the meaning of "away from the elevators"... The... more
