Nice hotel with a great breakfast and restaurant staff. We stayed with small children and felt a little unwelcome at times, especially when in the main lobby, with the hotel more geared towards non-families. The third bed option in the is quite uncomfortable and the air con is loud Perfect location and views but overall very expensive compared with the experience

Best hotel stay ever

This hotel was amazing! The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome - from the front desk, to the housekeeping, to the restaurant staff - all of it was excellent. The hotel was clean, comfortable and was in a great location. We loved this hotel and will be coming back.

The hotel is in a great location, walkable to all the key sites in Athens, in the heart of Plaka and its restaurants and shopping. The view of the acropolis at the rooftop restaurant and from the pool is breathtaking. All the staff are helpful and knowledgeable. The only criticism is that our room was smal and dark, the decor and the room is showing its age which made an otherwise very pleasant stay in Athens disappointing.

The hotel is well maintained and the rooms are up-to-date. The staff is energetic, friendly, and courteous. The breakfast is excellent and the dining room has the best view in Athens. Downsides: most rooms don’t have a nice view. The dinner served in the dining room is expensive. The hotel is in the heart of the Plaka tourist district and there almost countless dining options nearby. Would love to stay here again.

Electra Palace was an excellent hotel for first time visit due to close proximity to most areas for shopping, sightseeing, restaurants/bars, etc. The staff and overall service was excellent during our stay. The views from the suites on the 6th floor of the Acropolis was worth the stay just in itself. Will definitely return on a future visit.
