    Our family had a fantastic time at the hotel, with a comfortable, family-friendly room and a rooftop pool boasting a stunning view of the Acropolis. The location couldn't have been better, just a short walk to major monuments and museums, as well as the bustling shopping district. The kids loved the outdoor pool, and we all appreciated the friendly and helpful staff.

    For dads, it would be great to have more child-friendly activities by the poolside.

    We stayed at this hotel and our experience was luxurious. The exclusive amenities exceeded our expectations, with the Spa and wellness centre being a particular highlight. The stunning indoor swimming pool and sauna provided the perfect way to unwind after a day exploring the city. The attentive staff provided excellent service throughout our stay with body scrub, full body massage and facial treatments all on offer. The hotel's restaurant served delicious breakfast and the roof top terrace had breath-taking city views. The central location was perfect with shops, restaurants and landmarks all within walking distance, making it easy to enjoy the local culture.

    Our only minor complaint was not having a private outdoor space in our room, as we would have liked to enjoy the good weather in a more secluded setting.

    We loved our stay at Electra. All of the hotel staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was decent and the rooftop restaurant where it was served had a spectacular view. The hotel is a very short walk to the Acropolis and all major sights. The staff was incredible and the hotel is immaculate! The restaurant and pool bar were great. There is an awesome view of the Acropolis from the top, a perfect place for dinner or a relaxing afternoon by the pool. The welcoming service was exceptional. The balcony and view of the Acropolis from our room were superb. The pool and spa facilities were great. Breakfast selection and service were superior. All hotel facilities are classy. Wifi connection was included and signal was ideal. We felt extremely comfortable at this hotel. The breakfast was phenomenal, the lobby was comfortable and warm and inviting, the room was great, the heated pool by the spa was fantastic and the rooftop pool was great too but very crowded at times. The view was priceless, the staff wonderful and there was a female concierge who was so knowledgeable and gracious and generous that she made our trip fantastic. Everything about this hotel was perfect.

    Nothing for me.

    The hotel was bang in the center, close to all the lit spots - we hit up the shopping district and major monuments like the Acropolis and the museums, all just across the street. Plus, the rooftop pool with the sick Acropolis view was insane!

    The only thing missing was a proper party scene for young club-goers. A happening nightlife vibe would take our stay from awesome to off the charts!

    An ideal choice for business travelers or visitors who prize easy access and shopping. The hotel's central location was perfect for attending a colloquium, and the comfortable rooms and efficient staff made my stay enjoyable.

    I missed having a dedicated business center that would have made it easier for me to handle work-related tasks during my stay.

    I chose Electra for its proximity to the Parthenon, but I was pleasantly surprised by the serene poolscape and live music performances, providing a perfect place for reflection. The nearby upscale district of Kolonaki also offered an extra touch of sophistication.

    Limited evening restaurant reservation availability.

    the electra is super clean and cozy, and it's in a top spot with loads of quirky bars and pleasing restaurants nearby. oh, and the rooftop breakfast with views of the acropolis is unreal. also, the staff is the bomb – especially the concierge - sofia.

    Electra Palace Athens is an absolute gem! The location is jaw-dropping, nestled in the charming area of Plakka. The hotel's interior and exterior are super pleasing to the eye, exuding the grandeur of yester years. The staff goes above and beyond with their exceptional service, making you feel truly cared for. The high-quality linens on the beds are mind-blowing and ensure a comfortable sleep. The breakfast is simply outstanding with a fantastic range of fresh and delicious options. The dining room with its glass walls and breathtaking view of the Acropolis is a true highlight. The spa experience is top-notch, with stellar physiotherapists and luxurious products that leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The hotel overall is the epitome of luxury, perfectly priced, and within walking distance of many attractions. Don't miss out on the rooftop bar/restaurant with its AMAZING Acropolis view and the refreshing pool on the 4th floor. I would definitely stay here again, making sure to book earlier for a bigger room.

    Great pool with an awesome backdrop for swimming. Good breakfast with views of a famous landmark. Central location, within walking distance of most attractions

    Pool closes too early , would have liked to enjoy evenings by the pool. WiFi only free in the lobby and not working properly even when paid for

    I had a phenomenal stay at a hotel in the heart of the Plaka neighborhood. It was the perfect base for exploring the nearby shopping street and iconic sights like the Acropolis. The hotel had a beautiful reception and spacious rooms with all the amenities I needed. The rooftop breakfast with a stunning view of the Acropolis was a highlight. The staff were friendly and helpful, even arranging a taxi for me. I highly recommend this hotel for its location and excellent service.

    Located in a bustling yet charming neighborhood, this hotel is within walking distance of popular tourist spots, making it the perfect location for sightseeing. The stylish rooms are well-appointed and offer stunning views of the Acropolis. The breakfast buffet has an extensive selection and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Relax by the rooftop pool for breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

    Noise from the restaurant above some of the suites can be a concern for some guests.

    The room was super cozy and stylish, with a comfy bed and a big Smart LED TV for lazy evenings after a long day of work. As a traveler who loves comfort and technology, I felt right at home.

    The bathroom lighting was a bit too bright for my taste.

    Everything was amazing!! We are two couples traveling for 5 weeks. Arriving at Electra Palace was like coming to an oasis of peace, comfort, and relaxation. The staff were welcoming continually over our 4 days, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was sensational with beautiful settings inside and out, and the rooftop pool was to die for! We just LOVED this stay and will ALWAYS stay here if returning to Greece. Location was also excellent!

    Recommend this hotel.

    Discover a whole new level of indulgence with custom-made furniture, marble-tiled bathrooms, and small design touches that make all the difference. I felt like I was transported back in time to an era of elegance and sophistication.

    The soundproofing in the room was outstanding, I could hear every sound from my neighbor's bathroom symphony. Absolutely delightful.

    Great location in the heart of the tourist area with breathtaking views of a famous historical site. The rooftop pool was a refreshing oasis with a bar nearby for convenience. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable.

    The hotel's decor felt outdated and in need of a modern touch. The rooftop restaurant lacked ambiance and the breakfast options were uninspiring.

We loved the central location, as it made it easy for us to walk to all the major historical sites, restaurants, and local markets. The spa was also a dreamy and affordable treat. Plus, the hotel went above and beyond to make our honeymoon extra special with a private transfer, room upgrade, and a bottle of wine waiting for us. Truly exceptional customer service.

    We had a great stay in a centrally located hotel. The room was clean and well appointed, with a spacious bathroom. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast buffet had a great variety of options. We especially enjoyed the stunning views from the rooftop bar. The hotel's location in the Old Plaka district was perfect, as it was close to everything and just a short walk to the port where we were joining a cruise.

    One downside was the noise from neighboring rooms, as there was no soundproofing.

    Gleaming lobby with a tinkling chandelier, brimming with luxurious details that make a difference. The hotel is an extraordinary amalgamation of different eras, ethnicities, and cultures - a charming city of today.

    Acropolis views from the suites were not as expected.
