Very nice room. Location is very quiet on deserted street. Front desk helpful, but really need a conceirge at this level of hotel. Nice breakfast buffet and nice small pool with great view of acropolis. Internet very pricey. more

The area is a wonderful residential area in Plaka. Make sure you stay in Plaka or an area adjacent to it. Alot of hotels say they have views of the Acropolis, but pratically everything does. This one is right next to it. All the shopping and nightlife are within a short walk. Yes, this is a highly rated and very... more

The Athens Gate was our first stop on a 3 week Greek holiday and certainly set the tone for our trip. The hotel is beautiful and well appointed. The rooms were modern and clean. The roof top pool was certainly a highlight especially at night with a stunning view of the Acropolis. The location was also perfect as it is... more

Great hotel well located in the Plaka. Wonderful view of the Acropolis, especially at night, from the hotel restaurant which also had decent food. Various travel guides said it had one of the best buffet breakfasts in the city and we agree, AND it was included in the price. Do NOT go to the little corner restaurant located at the... more

We had a wonderful stay at the Electra Palace Hotel in Athens. it is located in the Plaka district and easy walking distance of the Acropolis, and its museum; the temple of Zeus, and 1895 Olympic Stadium. The roof top pool and bar, has fabulous views over to the Acropolis and the roof restaurant is trully silver service. We recommend... more

I am a travel agent and always look for the nicest hotel in the best location. I thought that the Electra Palace was it in Athens. It was nice and in the Plaka district near the Acropolis. However, we were there on a Saturday night and the street noise was incredible. Also, they 'walked' one of the couples that we... more

Is it worth staying at the Electra Palace Hotel? My answer is it depends. Here are the pros and cons: PROS: 1) Very, very, very close to the Plaka. If you spend most of your time in the Plaka while you are in Athens, then this hotel would be very convenient. You walk about two minutes and you are in... more

Stayed for 5 nights in June. It was a great location for running around and trying to see all the sites. The weather was very hot while we were there. We would see sites in the morning, come back to the hotel for a dip in the pool, go back out again for lunch and more sites and then go... more

There were four of us at the hotel in two separate rooms. The rooms were extremely dark, and the beds were the worst I have ever had in all my years of travel -- and in my youth I stayed at extremely low level hotels. My children (ages 19 & 22) who are used to cots at camp (when they... more
