The location. The breakfast.

Very noisy. Especially in the morning from 8 am from other guests that opened their room and let their young children play out of their room and drive all the neighbour rooms insane. The hotel is a bit dated.

I had a truly exceptional experience! The hotel’s rooftop is undoubtedly a highlight, offering stunning, unobstructed views of the Acropolis. Having breakfast on the rooftop while overlooking this iconic landmark is an unforgettable way to start the day. The rooftop also transforms into a magical dining spot in the evening, with the Acropolis beautifully illuminated. The location of the hotel is fantastic—situated right in the heart of Athens, it’s within walking distance of all the major attractions, shops, and restaurants. Whether you want to explore Plaka, visit the Acropolis Museum, or shop in Monastiraki, everything is conveniently close by. The hotel also features both indoor and outdoor pools, giving guests plenty of options to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing. Another standout feature was the incredible service!! Every staff member was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable—every area, from the lobby to the rooms, was spotless and well-maintained.

A lovely hotel. Traditionally elegant decor and furniture. Excrptional lication for their rooftop restaurant where a very good breakfast is served . The views if the Acropolis are just as shown on their website from the rooftop. Lovely swimming pool also with great views..Room spacious and comfortable. Everything we needed. Staff very obliging and housekeeping staff thorough.. Excellent air conditioning and room very quiet apart from odd street noise - we were at the front of the hotel. Short walks to a great selection restaurants and cafes. Tourist shopping and high street/ high-end shops only a few minutes away. 10 minute walk to hop on hop off and public transport options.

My mum and I had the most wonderful stay at Electra Palace Athens! From the moment we arrived, we felt like princesses thanks to the incredibly warm and smiley customer service. The staff were always there to check on us, making sure we had everything we needed. The hotel itself was spotless, very comfortable, and beautifully maintained. One of the highlights was the breathtaking view of the Acropolis from the rooftop restaurant—absolutely unforgettable! Even though the swimming pool was under renovation, we had access to the pool at the sister hotel, Electra Metropolis, just a short 2-minute walk away, which was a perfect alternative. Overall, we are beyond happy with our stay and will cherish these memories for a long time. Thank you to the entire team for making our trip so special!

The location is absolutely fantastic, right in the heart of the city and close to everything—historic landmarks, restaurants, and public transport are all just a short walk away. The staff were exceptional—very friendly, cooperative, and always willing to help with anything we needed. Their dedication truly made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

The only downside was that the walls seemed quite thin, and you could hear what was going on in the neighboring rooms. This did affect the overall comfort at times, but otherwise, everything else was great.

Our room was a "triple" and comfortably slept 3 and could easily sleep 4 (especially if some were children). There were two full beds and the couch was done up as a separate bed and was extremely comfortable. Sheets were great. They had room attendants three times a day! The curtains kept the morning sun out and allowed us to sleep in. Breakfast was included and was exceptional. The service was great all around. I ordered a bucket of ice through room service and it was at my door in 5 minutes.

The pool was nice but the hours were limited (10am to 8pm). We would have swam before going out in the morning. It was always quite crowded but spots opened up every 10-15 minutes. The bean bag chairs were surprisingly comfortable. Families definitely camped out on the shaded lounges so those were hard to come by.

Friendly polite staff, good choice and picturesque Acropolis view at breakfast, comfortable accomodation. 5-7 minutes walk to all the central sights and cultural places, a lot of nice cafes and restaurants around. Liked it all about the hotel.

Some small details to pay attention (didn't spoil the general impression, but could be improved) It would be great to add porridge at breakfast menu Outside pool water was really freezing (wish it could have been heated) Only one hook in the bathroom (not enough to hang towels for all the members of the family), no special dryer system to dry one's swimsuit after the pool.

The Electra Palace is the perfect location in Athens a short walk to the cafes and shops and Acropolis. We really enjoyed the stunning views from the 8th floor bar and restaurant.

Unfortunately it rained in Athens when we were there and this meant that the outside area of the restaurant could not be used and everyone had breakfast indoors. The queue for breakfast was enormous and we were asked therefore to sit at a table with another family. They were a delightful family, but I can help feel for the staff who did a great job of clearing tables quickly and efficiently to get through the queue. This should not be happening in my opinion and management are accountable and should take more initiative on these days … we all have access to accurate weather forecasts. There were areas I noticed in the hotel that could accommodate a ‘rainy day’ breakfasts maybe. Felt sorry for the staff more than anything.

This is a fabulous hotel for a first visit to Athens. The views of the Acropolis from the rooftop restaurant and pool bar are exceptional, and the friendliness of the staff - reception, bar, restaurant, valet, everyone! - really adds to the experience. We were only able to stay two nights but we felt so welcome right from the beginning. On top of that, the location is perfect for walking to all the top attractions, as well as restaurants, bars and shopping. The nightly turn down service (on top of daily room service) was also an unexpected bonus. Yes, you do pay a little more for all these things but if you’re looking for a fabulous hotel stay in Athens I couldn’t recommend this place more.

Incredible view of Acropolis. superb breakfast with high quality food and friendly service. The staff are kind, responsive , service oriented, friendly and approachable. Location cannot be beat

My single complaint is about the pool hours, limited to 1000 to 2000. One of the reasons I chose this location was the hope I could do some lap swimming in early morning hours... most Athens activities, tours are best done in the morning and begin before 1000. I would have loved to use the pool... there are no lifeguards anyway. Everything else about this hotel cannot be beat location, staff quality of food and view of Acropolis was exceptional
