Beautiful hotel, excellent food for breakfast, staff was very friendly. The rooftop pool was small and gets busy quickly but it was lovely and the service at the bar was great. We were walking distance or a short uber ride away from all the key sights and great shopping. However, it’s tucked away so still quiet and safe. Highly recommend this hotel!

I really enjoyed this hotel. After a long hot day of sight seeing there is nothing like a dip in the beautiful pool. Views from roof bar are stellar. I appreciated my spacious and clean room.

When Sofia found out that we initially were a bit concerned about our room, she IMMEDIATELY reached out to us and offered an alternative to us!! We were shocked at how responsive she was! We have been staying at this hotel for about the past 10 years. We LOVE Electra Palace Hotel! This is just one example of why we do!
