The staff were nice and the hotel is large and impressive. The room was really big with two bathrooms. I was given a really good cake for my birthday which was lovely. Great breakfast with an amazing view

10/10 Exceptional
My mum and I had the most wonderful stay at Electra Palace Athens! From the moment we arrived, we felt like princesses thanks to the incredibly warm and smiley customer service. The staff were always there to check on us, making sure we had everything we needed.
The hotel itself was spotless, very comfortable, and beautifully maintained. One of the highlights was the breathtaking view of the Acropolis from the rooftop restaurant—absolutely unforgettable! Even though the swimming pool was under renovation, we had access to the pool at the sister hotel, Electra Metropolis, just a short 2-minute walk away, which was a perfect alternative.
Overall, we are beyond happy with our stay and will cherish these memories for a long time. Thank you to the entire team for making our trip so special!

9/10 Very comfortable stay with an excellent location.
We loved the beds, the view from the balcony, the location, and every single staff person was exceptional- from the front desk, Olga to Demetri who helped us with a taxi and our luggage, as well as the housekeeping staff. The restaurant was great both in the garden and the roof top with Acropolis views on the top floor! We especially loved the local accordion player right outside our balcony.

9/10 Location-wise the best Hotel around, great Staff and magnificent views!
Breakfast was incredible with a magnificent view over the city and of course the acropolis! Staff is very friendly and the hotel location was amazing. It’s in the center of the city and you can get to all the important sights within minutes - it’s all in walking distance, we didn’t have to order a taxi (apart from the drive from and to the airport).

9/10 Good location and helpful staff.
Breakfast and view was perfect! Location in Plaka was excellent, close to the cathedral and lot of restaurants. Shopping was nearby. Syntagma square was 5-7 minutes walk, which is kind of city central square with a excellent metro connection , including Acropolis station. Acropolis probably a 15 min walk.
You can take a train from the airport to Syntagma and walk to this hotel or do a ride share car. We used FreeNow which was easy and cheap.

9/10 Incredible!
The reception staff were exceptional, so welcoming and eager to assist for anything they could do. I have stayed in many places and the staff at Electra Palace are among the best. The location is brilliant, safe to walk in the area at night and close to wonderful restaurants and cafes.

2/10 Terrible value for money, unresponsive staff
The location is really nice; they offer very nice breakfast (though it gets quite repetitive overtime); and the view from the breakfast place is truly spectacular

8/10 Great location for weekend getaway
The breakfast room with view of the Acropolis was wonderful. The food quality and service was excellent. The same room in the evening was just as good, lovely dishes and friendly attentive staff.

10/10 A delightful stay in the center of Athens
It was a very enjoyable stay at the hotel with friendly, welcoming and professional staff, great breakfast selection, including Greek specialties and good quality coffee. The hotel is within walking distance to the main attractions and despite being in the center of Athens - very quiet. And the view from the 8th floor restaurant is just breathtaking!

9/10 Superb
One of the best hotels we stayed in Europe: cosy, location, service, breakfast, view from the restaurant, very well trained and attentive staff.

10/10 The Perfect Hotel in Athens
In a large city like Athens you need a luxury hotel that is secluded but near the center. Electra Palace checks all the boxes. Elegant but small enough to be intimate with incredible service. If you can upgrade to a suite with the incredible view of the Acropolis. Do not miss their 2 restaurants nor coctails on their rooftop. Elena is a master concierge and their mgr Mr.Athanassiou will completely charm you.
