Electra Palace Hotel was an excellent choice in Athens. It is in a great location near all the top sights and the rooftop bar/restaurant is breathtaking. What a view! The breakfast buffet is outstanding. The hotel staff is helpful and accommodating. The pool is a fun place to hang out especially when weary from sightseeing. Highly recommend this hotel!

This is the 4th or 5th time I stay at the Electra Palace. I’ve always had an amazing stay there from the service, to rooms, the quality of the food and the amazing view from their roof terrace. The team came to our rescue this time as we were having an fare issue with a taxi driver.
1.5 / 5.0
Good location and stunning view from the (rather small) room. We had a garden view room. Noise from events and dining at the garden is very disturbing. Housekeeping service quite mediocre (one day no towels left, another no tissues replenished). Front desk has been effective in solving issues. Alue for money is questionable.

We had a room with a balcony looking at the Acropolis. All I can say is WOW! Every single staff member we dealt with was incredibly welcoming and very friendly. The room was clean, the mattress was terrific and we would stay here again in a heartbeat!
The restaurant (roof top) was stunning and so was the food. Love this hotel!
2.5 / 5.0
This hotel is an excellent option for a stay in Athens. Great location, wonderful staff, excellent facilities. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. It's a more traditional decor so if you're looking for something modern in style, this might not be the best fit. The restaurant for breakfast has amazing views of the Acropolis as does the roof top pool, which provides a wonderful reprieve for a hot Athens day.

We came back to stay after our cruise. Granted we arrived early (around 10AM) but we felt they weren’t going the extra mile to get our room ready before 3:00. We laid out by the pool until the rain ran us inside. The checkin staff was just a bit rude. They didn’t seem to like us or something. Totally different crew late at night and in the morning. They were nice. We enjoy the hotel itself and the restaurant.

We had a short stay while taking a cruise from Athens . Staff couldn’t be more profesional and attentive from the porter to the housekeeper, including the waiters at the Garden restaurant on 8 floor. Highly recommend this hotel.

After our long international flight, Electra Palace was the perfect venue for a few days of recovery. From its comfort, elegance and quality food, to those little extra services, this hotel proved to be one of our best ever international stays.
The views from the pool deck and breakfast restaurant are as good as you can get in Athens. Our room may not have had this view, but we felt privileged to access the views from shared areas. It was a joy to wander the historic sights of Athens, then return to our central location for a refreshing swim and rest, before venturing out into the summer heat for more of this wonderful city.
Breakfast (included) was of excellent quality.
And those little extra services I mentioned… well we had a very early checkout for our flight, and assumed we would miss the sumptuous breakfast. NOOOOO… A superb breakfast hamper was ready for us to take and enjoy at the airport, and a coffee heart-starter was provided before we left. There were several other little “extra effort” service like this that made our trip special.
We cannot fault this hotel, and will make it our regular base for return visits to Athens. This is a rare gem!
