Expert reviews
“This 216-room hotel has sweeping views of the Parthenon, an outdoor pool, and is centrally located near Syntagma Square. There are three restaurants, a rooftop bar, a sauna and a Turkish bath in the Electra Metropolis.”
“The Electra Metropolis marries the retro chic aesthetics of the ’50s and ’60s with the modernity of the 21st century. High up on the 10th floor is the roof garden with a stunning 360° panoramic view of Athens and beyond.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Athens.
“The rooms are polished and the location couldn’t be more central, but the trump card at this five-star hotel in downtown Athens is undoubtedly the roof terrace, thanks to a small pool and full-blown views of the Parthenon.”

A Special Stay
We loved the spectacular buffet breakfast served in a space that pays beautiful homage to a magnificent architectural wonder, the Acropolis. The hotel's centrality was also a big plus, and the alkaline water, turn down service accompanied with a chocolate every night was a luxurious touch. We will definitely stay again!
Everything was fantastic, no complaints.

A very good location. Nice staff. Clean in general. A hotel with good facilities.
I was not happy with the room I stayed. It should have been a bit larger for a 5 star hotel. The room I was given did not have a good view.

Amazing staff, great room, fantastic location, will come back
An exceptional location, and an amazing staff. Our than the rooms, which was clean and big, with a nice bathtub and lots of space. We had an issue with our flight because of the demonstrations in Greece, and our flight was pushed backed early by one day. The hotel staff was extremely kind and understanding, and refunded us the extra day with no issues at all We will definitely come back to this hotel

Athens delight
From the point of entry the staff were very welcoming, knowledgeable and informative Our room on 8th floor with the Acropolis View was very nice. Late February perhaps unusually cold so not so much use of balcony. Breakfast is fantastic, honeycomb honey a highlight! Restaurant for dinner delicious but quite expensive. Compared with UK, the south, eating out in Athens very affordable. Try Phika for food, a friend recommended, fantastic! The location is absolutely superb, metro ,shops, museums all easy walking distances

AMAZING VIEW OF THE ACROPOLIS
Everything. The hotel is nice, the room is large, the staff is friendly, and the view from the restaurant on the rooftop is just magnificent. It's worth the stay. The bathroom is spacious, the beds are comfortable, it is clean, and the room has a nice view. The breakfast was fantastic, very well presented and full of options. I miss it! The SPA area is great, beautiful pool, and a good sauna. Super close to the Acropolis, main tourist sites, and to the famous streets full of restaurants, shops and life. I will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.

Unforgettable stay in an exceptional hotel!
I had the pleasure of spending a few days at this amazing hotel, and I am absolutely delighted! From the very first moment, you can feel the professionalism of the staff – friendly and helpful employees took care of every detail of my stay. The rooms are spacious, modern, and spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds that ensure a perfect night's sleep. The breakfast is a true feast – a wide selection of fresh products, aromatic coffee, and local specialties that will delight even the most demanding food lovers.. The gorgeous view to the Acropolis completed the amazing experience. The rooftop restaurant is first class. The hotel's location is ideal – close to the main attractions, yet in a quiet area that allows for complete relaxation. Plus, the spa area and swimming pool make you feel like you're in paradise! I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, luxury, and impeccable service. I will definitely come back at the first opportunity!

Comfort and warmth at Electra Metropolis embraced me like Athens itself. I can't wait to be back!

Location, Friendly Staff
Spa area is not up to the Hotel standard, the Haman area had a very unpleasant smell, immediately got out. As we were a couple and requested a double bed, we were assigned 2 Beds. The Breakfast area is too small to accommodate the number of guests, a feeling of factory production.

Beeing chosen 3rd or fourth time in a row, this says something. Hotel is great. Great views over Acropolis from the top floor restaurant. Staff is great, cleanliness, food, location.

Magnificient
The location of the hotel is magnificent; we can walk to many places in the heart of Athens (Monastraki, Plaka, Syntagma and Ermu). We also walked to the National Archaeological Museum. The hotel room is spacious, comfortable, the quality of sleep is good. The breakfast is extraordinary both in taste and in the view it offers. The welcoming lady in the breakfast room, who gathered her blonde hair into a bun at the nape of her neck, made us happy with her sincere smile and sincerity, we would like to thank her specially.

The stuff from reception very unfriendly. The room we had with acropole view ( 822) had first the view of the old buildings around. I wouldnt have payed for such a room if i would know. But the photos on description are showing other view then the reality. I would rate this hotel as a 4 star one not having the level of of a 5 stars

Beautifully appointed and centrally located hotel, would recommend.
Room was comfortable and clean. Room service did two visits a day to check on items provided. Beds were comfortable and the chair and desk were also good. Shower was excellent (large rain shower head, plus hand head) although had a bit of room flooding when we used it. Little touches, like leaving a chocolate during turn down service were lovely. We were there over New Years Eve and the hotel left a traditional greek new years cake for us to enjoy, and a small locally made ornament to celebrate the holiday. It was a veery thoughtful touch that added to the pleasure of the stay. The lobby area was clean and beautifully decorated. I enjoyed a coffee in the cafe area. The absolute highlight was the breakfast buffet. The restaurant area has the most spectacular view of The Acropolis. The buffet was fresh, with lots of variety including local and international ingredients. The hotel was located within a 15 minute walk of the Acropolis museum and well situated for shopping and site seeing. I didn't book a room with a view, so was looking out over a narrow street, but still had some regional view.
Almost nothing to complain about. If you are looking for quiet, it may not be the best choice as the evening crowds could be heard in the rooms. Really enjoyed the stay.

I’d go again for the pool :)
Very modern and clean with beautiful rooms. The spa and pool was absolutely stunning, we spent around 2 hours every day there! The breakfast was very good, such a nice view to wake up to. Location is excellent. They prepared a lovely surprise for my birthday and accommodated my allergies which was such a nice addition :)
The rooftop restaurant dinner was nice and the view was beautiful but not really worth the price in my opinion. The staff were lovely and helpful but there was 1 or 2 comments that didn’t quite sit right with me.

Unrivalled Experience
After a 19 hour flight walking into the friendly and luxurious comfort of our room was a welcome relief. The roof top breakfast in the shadow of the Parthenon was a delight. A highlight at breakfast was seeing the Evzones on the hill raising the Greek Flag. An unrivalled experience from a breakfast space. The common areas were extremely welcoming and serve great coffee. Will definitely be back next Christmas.
That it was time to leave Hellas.
