We stayed at the Electra Palace Hotel to start our honeymoon in Greece. By far the best thing about this hotel is the location- it is right in the heart of the Plaka District, so most of the sightseeing is within walking distance. We found the hotel staff to be helpful and curteous- they arranged a massage, helped us with... more

Spent 3 nights in the hotel. Staff wasn't willing to help, sometimes even arrogant. Room wasn't clean, carpet was horribly worn and dirty. Swimming pool is open only in summer, roof-top bar, too. Restaurant is closed on Sunday, for Saturday no reservation was possible, although the restaurant was almost empty that evening. Breakfast was average with no variety at all.... more

Just stayed here for two nights and I have no faults with this Hotel. It is a good quality international hotel in a great location to visit all the sights. Rooms are comfortable and the rooftop pool is a nice retreat after a day of sightseeing. Breakfast was good although the room seemed a little busy. more

Just returned having spent 3 nights here. Not '5 star' in comparison to most other 5 star hotels - it's a fairly average chain-type hotel in a great location. Nothing major to complain about, other than the staff do try to ignore guests as much as possible, e.g. try getting a drink by the outdoor pool on the roof terrace... more

We had an excellent stay in this hotel. A 3 minute walk took us into the heart of the Plaka district, where there were so many restaurants to choose from and so much atmosphere that each evening was exciting. Very centrally placed, you could walk to the Acropolis, to Syntagma Square and to many other sights. We couldn't fault the... more

It has been several months since we stayed at the Electra Palace and my 4 year old son keeps asking me to take him back! Wonderful people, great food - fantastic location right in the PLAKA - and my wife says the masseuse is great too. Also try the corner local restaurant to the right of the entrace one block... more

I just got back from a trip to Greece which included an overnight at the Electra Palace. This was my second stay here, and I definitely have mixed emotions, especially for the price paid, $250 Euro (well over $300 USD) for one night. It is billed as a five star, but I am really not seeing it. The rooms are... more

My wife and I stayed at the Electra Palace for one night before flying to Santorini the next day. When we booked we were given the option of having a room with a view of the Acropolis which we elected to take and pay the extra for the priveledge. Well on arrival we could see a little of the Acropolis... more

Per previous reviews we requested an upper floor room with an Acropolis view. The view, staff and hotel were amazing. My electrical adapter didn't match up and they let me borrow one for the stay. Breakfast is included and very good. Be aware that you may get a 4-legged furry friend begging for some scraps though. There were some adorable... more
