We stayed in hotel Electra for 1 night end of April 2012. The hotel is very central, maybe 50 meters to Sytagma square and metro station. If you are arriving by plane, it is convenient for the airport transportation (metro - cost: 8 EUR or bus nr. X95 - 5 EUR; both cca 45 minutes). It seems they have renovated... More

We checked in the 25rd April, first day of the re-opening. The hotel room is very stylish and comfort. The bed was cocomat the bathroom (very clean) was in marble. Breakfast with enough choices and good quality. In the room a welcome basket with fruits and a bottle of water for free. The location is at least FANTASTIC! Very good... More

Nice business hotel in the city center of Athens. Being right next to Syntagma Square and only 500 metres away from the Parliament, you are where the action is. Well ... especially with all the protests ging on and demonstrations at the Parliament. I didn't see this as a bad thing, as nothing ever happened. And you could really see... More

2nd time we stayed here now at the Electra Athens, as the location suits us great. I pre-arranged a group booking of 6 rooms from the UK for a weekend break, all my guests found this hotel extremely suitable. Must say, my room (804) though this time was rather on the small side especially the bathroom, but next time I'll... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel about 2 weeks ago for 5 days.To be blunt we were dissapointed , the rooms are small and tired and the carpet is dirty . Whilst the location is excellent ie a stones throw to Constitution square , the Plaka and the Acropolis overall the hotel is less than impressive. I, like... More

Beautiful location. Excellent and very helpful staff! Wonderful resteraunts close buy! Room was very comfortable. Since building was old, had to keep door lock card in a dock inside to keep electricity running, but this was no problem. Air conditionwer was slow. So traveling in the hot months could be an issue. One block from La Plaka. No trouble with... More

The Electra is a 3 star hotel, the room is a bit tired, breakfast is a large buffet. The room was pretty clean other than the usual mould in the small bathroom. The bed was 2 twins pushed together and hard with pillows that were way too soft. Absolutely fantastic location in the Plaka with lots of restaurants, cafe’s and... More

Over the years I've stayed in various places in Athens. The Electra is a favourite. I love the location which is 20 yards from the square and handy for the Metro and the Airport bus. The rooms are clean and the bathrooms are modern and of good quality. There is a very good breakfast served in the dining room and... More

My husband and I stayed there for 4 days, approximately a week ago. During that time, we both enjoyed our staying there because it had everything we were asking at the time; clean rooms and great location. We could walk to theaters, shops, Acropoli and Thision and more. As for the staff, I only have 1 thing to say: EXCELLENT!... More
