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.

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

Our family and friends found this property the best-priced and best value among many we surveyed for a 4-night stay following a Greek Islands cruise. Overall we were quite pleased with our choice, for the following reasons: * Location (two blocks from Parliament and the palace, in the midst of the old Plaka district; easy walking distances and well-located in... more

We found the Electra Palace a warm and inviting place, attentive staff and amenities that made the stay very comfortable. Our balcony room offered a wonderful view. It was spacious and was cleaned as soon as we went to breakfast in the morning. Breakfast was delicious and the service was great. The only negatives are their understaffed bar on the... more

My family stayed at the Electra Palace for 2 separate 3 night stays. In between we took a trip to Andros island. The staff at Electra was so helpful in arranging the split week and keeping our luggage for us so we only had to carry minimal bags on the ferry. Everyone we came in contact with, bell staff, housekeeping,... more
