exterior - night
The Athens Electra Palace hotel is centrally located in the heart of Athens
and the ancient Plaka, within walking distance of the Acropolis, all major museums and historic sites, as well as the business and commercial districts.
The property has been recently totally reconstructed and refurbished, and the building's facade changed completely to a new classical-style. Outfitted with the most contemporary equipment, the hotel offers oustanding services and facilities which include luxurious accommodations, the Motivo restaurant, the Duck Tail bar with its beautiful garden, a wellness area, an underground parking and a modern business centre.
Its unique position under the shadow of the Acropolis hill and just a three minutes' stroll from Syntagma square and the Greek Parliament, makes it the ideal choice for both business and leisure travelers.

Hotel Reviews Athens Electra Palace

USA, Oct 2009
First time in Greece and were traveling with friends. We stayed 3 nights post cruise at the end of a 2 week vacation. The location is excellent for what we wanted. The views of the Acropolis were great. The courtyard is a very nice place for a cocktail in the evening. The rooftop pool area has spectacular views. The hotel restaurant was a complete and wonderful surprise. The food and service there were both exceptional! What a way to end a two week vacation but with a wonderful meal on a terrace with a view of the acropolis! The service at the hotel itself was very professional. Breakfast was good, even better since it was included. We were very pleased with this choice of hotel and would definitely recommend it.

Although the hotel is in a perfect location near the Acropolis and Plaka, the "Acropolis View" room is actually in the "BACK" of the Acropolis. As the Acropolis was low in the front, the view is not special. The over-300-euro room is not worthy. However, this hotel still a nice hotel to stay, aslong as you don't expect to see spectacular view.

A very nice hotel in the very heart of down-town. Friendly professional staff (for instance, I had an early departure at 3:30 a.m. and the hotel provided me with a nice breakfast with hot coffee, fruits, sandwiches and pastry). The Roof Garden restaurant offers a splendid view of Acropolis together with the author cuisine and the friendliest service. The room was pretty, but the Acropolis view was in fact a "side" view: from the balcony only. One more disappointment - the hotel SPA (I was asking about massage) closed at 8 p.m. Except for these two "clouds" the stay at the hotel was a real peaceful pause in the middle of a long traveling, with a plenty of carefulness, smiles and little pleasant favours offered by the hotel staff. I wish I had more time to spend at this wonderful place and will definitely choose the Electra Palace for my further stays in Athens.

I have rated relationship between price and quality quite highly as this hotel is listed as 5star, but was very reasonable for a true 5 star. It was not a true 5 star, it was perhaps a good 4 star, in my opinion. You get what you pay for, and this hotel had smart shiny public areas, well maintained rooms, quite large, but less service and the breakfast was less good than other 4 star hotels we have stayed in in the past.

We only stayed one night but the hotel staff were wonderful. We were celebrating our anniversary and they gave us a perfect room with a balcony that gave us a great view of the Acropolis. They had a bottle of wine and fruit in our room when we got back from sightseeing and also sent up breakfast to have in the morning because we were catching a very early flight out. They were terrific and the hotel was beautiful.

Our room was located at the front of the hotel and had a small balcony.The hotel was ideally located near to the plaka and its many shops restaurants and bars.It was one of the few hotels to have a rooftop swimming pool with views of the Acropolos

The hotel's location in the Plaka is perfect. The balconey in the room provided a good view of the Acropolis. The buffet breakfast was excellent. The previous comments about the staff appear to be related to the guests' lack of Greek language skills and the front desk staff's lack of English.

You can't beat the Electra Palace for beauty, location, amenities and room size. This was my second trip to Athens and was not disappointed that I chose this hotel. I will always stay at the Electra palace when staying in Athens. Outstanding facility!

Les chambres proposés sur le site sont toujours les chambres doubles (lits twin) des étages inférieurs, donc avec vue sur une petite cour qui donne sur des immeubles d'habitations, dommage car c'est à partir du 4ème étage que l'on bénéficie des chambres avec vue sur l'Acropole...Autrement, très bon hôtel dans sa catégorie, les prestations sont à la hauteur de la classification...le concierge a d'ailleurs été parfait pour toutes les demandes annexes que nous avons formulé comme les réservations à la dernière minute de restaurants que nous avions préalablement séléctionné.

Location is fantastic, as it is in the heart of Plaka and is walking distance to majority of important sites. Travelling with two young children and hotel was accomodating by ensuring we had adjoining rooms. All staff spoke English and were very helpful with directions. Good gym facilities and pools.

Hotel close to everything. Walls are quite thin and you can hear people in the next room.
