Hotel Electra Palace, Athens
Expert reviews
“Nestled on an unassuming little street in the heart of Plaka, Athens’ quaintest and most historic neighborhoods, the neoclassical-style hotel building is grandiose in a charmingly old-fashioned way.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Athens.
“The recently redecorated Electra Palace, on a quiet side street between Syntagma Square and Plaka, is one of the upmarket, comfortable, reliable Greek chain of Electra hotels. Unusually for a hotel in the heart of Athens, it has both an indoor and outdoor pool.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Athens.

A great place to stay, old town Athens.
Located in a nice area, fantastic views of Acropolis. Staff were helpful and professional. Great pool and bar area. Restaurant serves excellent food with an amazing view, what more could you ask for !
Rooms are slightly dated but it didn’t spoil our trip.

Good choice for Athens!
The hotel was in an excellent location, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the building had great character.
We didn't have any issues during our stay, however for the price the room was a bit small.

Best hotel in Athens
It is the best located five star hotel in Athens . Hands down . Also, beautiful. The staff was extra nice . We had a lot of luggage and were doing island hopping for 10 days . We had the EP booked for our last night in Athens . They were incredibly nice and kept some luggage stored for us in Athens so we did not have to worry about carrying it everywhere . Super nice

Fabulous location and helpful staff who gave us a perfect base to explore Athens.
Amazing staff who were all very helpful and friendly. They arranged airport transfers, a trip to the Islands and gave recommendations of restaurants before we arrived also. Brilliant location - simply couldn't have been better and having explored the city for a full week I remain convinced it is the very best location for Athens. Breakfast was superb also and the one evening meal we had in the hotel was exceptional (if a little pricey).
Being very critical - the room was a little dated & unlike the pictures we saw. The pool was a nice bonus although quite busy most of the time making it difficult to relax or swim at all.

The perfect hotel in Athens
We loved everything about this hotel. From the moment of check-in, all the staff were so kind and super helpful, accomodating our every need. With young kids, this made our stay stress free. The facilities, pool, bars, breakfast were all amazing. You don’t feel like you’re in the middle of busy Athens. We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to Athens.
Nothing to dislike

A luxury 5* hotel. Highly recommended.
A fabulous, luxury hotel. We had a lovely stay for 1 night. I would highly recommend this hotel. There is a beautiful rooftop pool and bar, and towels are provided. Downstairs, there is a spa. Staff are professional, friendly, and helpful. I would definitely book this hotel again.

Excellent location in Plaka with a pool
This property has outstanding customer service, an excellent breakfast, and a rooftop pool, with a beautiful view of the acropolis. This time we stayed in a garden view room, which is much larger than the classic room.
They do provide coffee in the room, however, it was instant coffee. For a hotel of this level, I would expect a nespresso machine with pods or something similar. The pool was filled with children splashing, so it was not as relaxing as it has been during other stays.
