Excellent Athens Hotel
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!

Great team!
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.

6/10 Good

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!

10/10 Exceptional

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.
