My mother and I stayed at The Electra Palace for three nites the first week in May and were very pleased.
We booked a room on the 5th floor with beautiful views of the Acropolis from our balcony. The hotel is top class, luxurious and clean. It is in a perfect location to walk to all the sites, shopping and the Plaka. We felt safe walking around day or nite.
The staff was wonderful, Panos the concierge couldn't have been more accomodating to us and we enjoyed talking to him each time we came back to the hotel. He is very professional and informative. Menelaos the bartender was also great. Sample some of his creative drinks at the lobby bar, he is an award winning mixologist having competed in world wide competitions!
We also had time to be pampered in the spa enjoying swedish massages. Be sure to indulge if you have time.
We did not have breakfast while at the hotel, prefering to have coffee delivered to our room. Nothing like waking up to coffee on our balcony viewing the Acropolis!
Overall, we loved our stay and would highly recommened it to anyone ging to Athens.
