We stayed at the Electra Palace both on arrival in Athens and again before our departure for home following some island-hopping in the Cyclades. The staff are very helpful and, as other reviewers have said, the location is excellent being close to the Acropolis, good value restaurants and the street market. Dinner in the Terrace Restaurant with views of the... More

This hotel is a gem! It is conveniently located in Plaka, within walking distance of the Acropolis and many other sites. The hotel staff is welcoming and helpful. Our room had a balcony with a view of the Acropolis. We enjoyed cooling off in the rooftop pool. Breakfast was lovely and served in the garden outside. The hotel restaurant, on... More

We have stayed in the Electra previously and were very happy then and we were very satisfied again. The location is perfect, around the corner from the Plaka and all main tourist attractions such as the acropolis. We had a superior suite with a view of the acropolis and found the room and setting very nice. A small hiccup, we... More

We stayed for one night at this hotel. The room was fairly plain but functional and the decor a little old fashioned. There was reasonable air-conditioning in the room but it was centrally controlled and could have been cooler. The staff were really helpful, the location excellent and there's a lovely little pool and chairs on the roof. Also we... More

The most important issue is the hotel GREAT location in the heart of the Plaka. It is in a walking distance to the important tourist sights, museums; restaurants and shops. The hotel is a luxury and well-kept but its decoration in the lobby and the rooms seems to be a little old fashioned. The room was and comfortable and clean.... More

Everything about this hotel was perfect during our recent visit to Athens. Tucked up a side street in Plaka you will be surprised at how the hotel makes fabulous use of its footprint with a huge and welcoming reception area. After a busy day of sightseeing the air conditioned hotel is a welcome relief from the heat of Athens city.... More

Great location in Plaka, you can walk anywhere. It was clean and had a nice breakfast spread. After a day of site seeing, nothing is better than swimming on the roof with a view of the Acropolis. The view is spectacular both day and night. I would recommend this hotel for couples or families. My advice is to bring sunscreen... More

Although the decor of this hotel is not ultra up-to-date, nonetheless everything is spotlessly clean and well kept. Both times we stayed we were upgraded (although why this should be so was a mystery, but a happy mystery,) and our Junior Suites were spacious and luxurious. The views can be of either the courtyard garden, or, spectacularly, of The Parthenon... More

Prisitine is how I would describe our first impressions as we entered the air conditioned, spacious marble lobby. A little surprised at the size of the rooms and bathroom, I expected better and we are very familiar with European norms in this respect. Given the room rate, the value was marginal considering the room size. Staff were helpful and friendly,... More

This hotel is a luxurious oasis amidst the bustle of Athens. The rooftop view to the Acropolis with its pool and lovely restaurant will delight your senses. The set meal for 30euro is great value. Don't hesitate to book
