Hotel Electra Metropolis, Athens

Mitropoleos 15, Athina 105 57, Greece (show on map)

Expert reviews

CNN review:

“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.”

Fodors review:

“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.

Telegraph review:

“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.”

This was our 3rd time at Electra Metropolis. Location is great. Close to everything. The view of the Acropolis from the rooftop restaurant was amazing.

Buffet breakfast was a let down compared to previous years. Door handle in our room was broken. Decor was abit dated.

Our first choice to stay in Athens

Where do I start? The food was amazing, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Prior to our arrival I’d read reviews stating you offered an avg continental breakfast. We’d like to say there was nothing avg about the breakfast we had & we plant to write that in our online review. We’ve stayed at other places while visiting Athens. Electra Metropolis will be our choice of hotels in the future. It also helps greatly when breakfast is included. The staff in the spa were very friendly, I had difficulty scheduling an appt with them prior to our arrival due to logistics. They reached out to me and I had an incoming call I could not miss. They booked us immediately upon arrival our first day there. Due to location, we were able to experience Athens on an entirely new level from our last visit.

It would be nice to offer a buzzer or receive a text from checkin staff notifying you when your room is ready. Other than that-nothing

Location and staff were fabulous

The room was across from another complex and each time I opened the curtains I was greeted by a man watering his plants. For the price of the room I wish I was able to keep my curtains opened to not feel so claustrophobic

We had an incredible stay and would recommend others to stay.

The property was located right in the center of all the tourist attractions. Best location. Everyone was very friendly and the rooms were comfortable. A little pricey but well worth it. The pool was on the top floor and had chairs to sit and lay. Gorgeous views from the top!!

A bit pricey.

Fantastic location, great staff, comprehensive facilities! Well worth a visit 🙂

The staff were very friendly and professional, the location is perfect and within easy walking distance of the most popular places to visit and in very close proximity to the bustling area Plaka. The bar / restaurant is wonderful, a very comprehensive breakfast is on offer with the most wonderful, uninterrupted view of the Acropolis & Parthenon. Ensuite a decent size with a large walk in shower. Lovely fluffy towels!

Whilst our room was very comfortable and had a good-sized balcony with a table & 2 chairs (8th floor, looking onto the apartments opposite), it felt like it needed an update. There was no extractor fan in the bathroom so the condensation has caused damage to the woodwork. Very limited options on the TV.

Fabulous property with great service

Wow, what a gorgeous and classy hotel! Service was top notch - attentive front desk and bell staff, comfortable lobby/bar area, and special touches like leaving a drink and treats the first night. Our queen suite was very spacious. The rooftop restaurant was amazing - the best "free hotel breakfast" I've ever had with an incredible Acropolis view. We also ate dinner at the restaurant and it was delicious - the nighttime view of the Acropolis is stunning from the restaurant. The shower/water pressure was good and they provided ample towels. The balcony was relaxing and seating out there was comfortable.

A couple of times we lost water pressure while in the shower... once in the late afternoon and once at 4am before our early departure. Turning the water off and then back on helped a bit and it didn't detract from my rating, but it did take a very long time to complete these showers due to hardly any water coming out. Not a complaint but just a note: I thought it was a nice touch to have two different voltage outlets in the bathroom and I was excited that I might be able to plug in my curling iron, but alas, the US "Type A" outlet was only for 2 parallel prongs that were the same size, not where one is wider than the other. (Note to self, get a voltage converter for my next trip, in addition to my electric outlet converter.)

Very professional welcoming staff.

If you like tea and not coffee with your breakfast the teapots are functionally terrible. It was impossible to pour your tea without a large degree of spillage from around the spout.

Gorgeous hotel right in the city. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They always felt welcoming and went above and beyond. Room was modern and very clean. Amazing rooftop pool and views of the acropolis while having breakfast or at restaurant for dinner. The breakfast buffet had everything you could imagine to eat and all of the quality of the food was amazing. One of our favorite breakfast of the trip. So glad we picked this hotel!

No issues.

Nice hotel with some shortcomings .

Clean and bright with good service from the staff .

AC in room set too cold and impossible to adjust in the night. If you turned it off you were too hot as the only covering was one doona. All the pillows exactly the same , no choice -should be in a 5 star hotel. Ensuite for my room very small .
