My husband and I visited Athens from April 27 to may 1 and stayed at the Electra palace hotel during that time. The hotel location is superb (quiet street in the plaka area) and we were able to walk to everywhere- acropolis, syntagma sq, museums, monastiraki, shops , restaurants and the metro is v close if you want to go...

The hotel is placed near Sintagma square, in the Plaka place. The main entrance was luxury, and it has some facilities like spa or restaurant watching to Akropolis. Not views from all places are good, but still the location deserves. The receptionists speak several languages, and they are good at recommending places to visit / eat. Rooms are just clean,... More

The hotel is beautifully finished and furnished. Attention to details is obvious throughout. The staff is wonderfull and very helpful. The location is perfect. Within walking distance of the Acropolis, the Parliament, the temple of Zeus and the old shopping area (La Placa). Many restaurants close by. The breakfast is great. Quality food and even freshly squeezed local orange juice!... More

My Wife and I have recently returned from a long weekend in Athens. The Electra Palace is a nice hotel but we would probably stay somewhere else if we went to Athens again. We booked a Deluxe Room with a balcony overlooking the Acropolis and due to a flight delay going out (and the 2-hour time difference) we arrived at... More

I did a major search for hotels in the Centre of Athens. Having read reviews , decided to book at Electra Syntagma Square, the hotel is under renovation. Hence we stayed at Electra Palace, staff and front of desk definitely not of a standard one would expect with the price tag. More snobbish and unfriendly versus the patrons. Not a... More

This is an elegant hotel in a wonderful location. We could walk to almost everywhere we wanted to go and had a wonderful view of the Acropolis from our room. The hotel is tucked away on a small narrow street so there is almost no traffic noise. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable with everything I would expect... More

Extremely convenient and just minutes away from everything. The highest selling point had to be the beautiful view of the Acropolis right from our room! The breakfast was great! An indoor pool was definitely a plus, unfortunately the rooftop pool was under renovation while we were there but there view once it is finished cannot be beaten! I was disappointed... More

Probably one of the best locations in central Athens, walking sitance to all central sights. Would highly recommend it to all who are either on a sight-seeing trip or otherwise need to be close to the centre of Athens. Plaka location is better than Syntagma square: quieter and more peaceful. Breakfast was very good. We did not have dinner. Gym... More

This hotel is very well located in Plaka. Its a ten minute walk to the Acropolis or subway station and there are many dining options close by. The rooms are very clean and the beds comfortable. Standard amenities included bath robes and slippers. We stayed in April and the roof top pool was undergoing renovation, but we enjoyed cocktails and... More
