“Good location”

Excellent location for visit to the Acropolis. Very good breakfast. Though there is free WiFi in lobby, there should be free WiFi in your room

“Great location and views”

Great location, was a little disappointed in the size of the pool (much smaller than the picture looked and only 9 sunbeds). Excellent choices of food at breakfast, quality of food at dinner not so great.

“Great view of the Acropolis”

We could see the Acropolis from our room, but the view from the restaurant was spectacular! Food was very good. Taxis were on strike during our stay, but the metro stopped at Syndagma square, which is only a few blocks away. The only negatives about the hotel are the price and the small swimming pool.

“Great location and view”

Electra Palace was a very charming hotel situated in a great tourist spot - you can easily walk to the Acropolis and Museum, Parliment, various other sites, and tons of shopping. There was a spectacular view of the Acropolis day and night from the hotel pool and top floor deck.

“Best Bet in Athens”

This is truely a five star hotel that should be rated 7 stars. I cant say enough about the friendly staff and top quality rooms. But the veiw from the resturant of the Acropolis at night takes your breath away and the veiw from the 7th stor deck is fantastic. I was very please with this top quality hotel.

Must see
The Acropolis .. but be sure to hire one of the state approvred guides, its worth every euro you pay

“Would go back in a minute!”

It was a fantastic trip and the courtesy and helpfulness of the staff at the Electra Palace Hotel help to make my stay in Athens, one of the best ever. I hope to go back and stay there again some day, only stay longer the next time.

Area recommendations
The Plaka area is safe and very easily enjoyed by walking. The shop keepers and restaurants were so very nice and helpful.

“Great Hotel...........bad beds!”

The Electra Palace Hotel is a beautiful Hotel (nice breakfast buffet included), in a perfect location, with good service, but with one big mystery. Why are the beds so bad? Worst Hotel bed I've slept in for many years, in a 5 star Hotel no less. Moved on from Athens to the Brussels Marriott which has great beds, so I know it can be done. Why in the world would a great 5 star Hotel like the Electra Palace not correct this situation. Some dumb manager somewhere is detrimental to this Hotel. Just a mystery to me that these beds have not been replaced? Regardless, everything else is so good, I recommend this Hotel. Talking to the front desk manager, for sure they hear this complaint a lot. Loved Athens!

“Athen's Electra Palace Hotel - Definitely would return”

The Hotel locates at the center of Parka which is full of history. We walked to everywhere and were able to see most of the attraction in Athens in half a day. The view of Acroplis was stunning at night from the outside balcony at the end of the corridor on our room floor.

Area recommendations
Parka.

Area:

Plaka, Athens, Greece: Quaint and touristy, Athens’ oldest residential quarter sits in the shadow of the Acropolis. Plaka’s narrow cobbled streets are lined with bougainvillea-clad neoclassical mansions, souvenir shops and pseudo-traditional tavernas, some with live music. A village atmosphere prevails, despite the crowds. Close to all the top sights, it makes the best base for a short stay.
