Great hotel, location and staff. Location was especially good as it was just blocks away from everything but a little less crazy then a few blocks away. The two restaurants were really good as well. Heard different things about Athens but I thought it was a really really great place to visit.
Fantastic location! Polite and helpful staff. The grounds are lovely. Rooms are wonderful and clean. Must not miss the roof top bar and restaurant with insane views
Stayed at the Electra Palace with my two brothers and couldn’t have been happier. Great location. Lots and lots to see within walking distance. Both restaurants one on the ground floor one on the rooftop had some of the best food that we had all week and the rest of it was nothing to scoff at !
Every staff member we encountered were very professional and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place without hesitation.

The feature here was the rooftop restaurant. Perfect location to eat looking at the Acropolis. The rest of the hotel is dated but clean. Not a five star. More a tour bus location. Good area.
Wonderful property in a good location. Watched sunset at the pool roof deck. Had a light dinner in the bar area. Lovely upscale property I would easily recommend.
The hotel was beautiful! Our suite had an amazing view of the acropolis. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again in the future!
Centrally located with many restaurants and shopping within a 2 block radius. We spent a couple of hours at the rooftop pool one hot afternoon.
The rooftop restaurant was the best part of our stay with a great buffet breakfast that had a great selection of food.
Everything about Electra Palace was perfect. Great location right in the center of ancient Plaka area, everywhere we needed to go to was a short walk, shops, restaurants and most of all, the Parthenon, are all just a few blocks away. Very walkable, safe and lively even in the evening. Our room was super clean and the hotel was beautiful. The breakfast area and pool are overlooking the Acropolis which looks so magical when it’s lit at night. Breakfast buffet had excellent choices. Highly recommended!
I stayed here years ago and it is even nicer! FABULOUS view of the Acropolis from both the outdoor pool and deck, and the wonderful breakfast room up top. They also serve dinner and drinks there. One of the best breakfast buffets we ever had. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. The concierge recommended a restaurant that was close by and fabulous, she even made reservations for us. She was happy to give us directions to Temple of Zeus. Very helpful.
We had a triple room for 3 adults and it was huge. Expresso machine in room, comfortable beds, lovely bathroom and shower.
Very lovely and centrally located hotel.
We had an amazing stay in Athens! The hotel is in a beautiful, safe area and is perfectly located close to everything. It was easy to get around and explore the city, and we felt comfortable and safe throughout our stay. Beautiful hotel, wonderful location, and a great experience overall. Highly recommend!
This property is in walking distance to so many things. Love shopping and eating close by. They have 2 pools, indoor and outdoor. Breakfast was wonderful. Restaurant on property was superb. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Conveniently located hotel near Plaka area and Acropolis. Comfortable stay with friendly staff and amazing rooftop view of Acropolis while you enjoy a generous buffet breakfast!
This hotel was top notch! The staff was so helpful especially with our travel arrangements to Mykonos. She went above and beyond our expectations. They gave us excellent food recommendations also. All in all a wonderful experience!
