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.”

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!
I had an incredible stay. Definitely booking my stay here next time I visit Athens. Magical view, sumptuous breakfast, practical location (within walking distance of several points of interest) & extremely helpful and professional staff.

Fabulous
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.

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.

Great location. Clean hotel. Good breakfast
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.

Great location, great rooftop bar and decent rooms.
The staff were lovely, breakfast was excellent and the location perfect.
The rooms are quite old, bathroom door didn’t shut, twin beds pushed together rather than a king and some noise from the lobby drifted up the atrium.

It was okay for our short trip stay
Location, staff, breakfast, and the view from the restaurant are a big plus for this hotel.
The sofa in the living room should be a bit longer because it was too short for a 13-year-old to sleep on. Also, every night at exactly 00:30, the street cleaners and garbage collectors arrived near the hotel. Their work was quite noisy and woke us up each time.

Best hotel ever ❤️
I love that hotel is close to every attraction. Shopping museums restaurants. Very clean the rooms are little bit small but who is staying in the rooms 😉 The staff was very helpful (specially front desk) and polite and gives a feeling like family more than hotel staff. The food was so tasty. We attended the New Year Eve Dinner, it was one of the best festive dinner we had for a long time and the presents they gave to us for new year was so thoughtful. The best decision we made to make a reservation at this hotel.

Highly recommend
Excellent breakfast, delicious and with a variety of choices. The view of the Acropolis from the hotel restaurant is breathtaking. The location is really good, within a walking distance from all the main sites. The staff was helpful and very friendly. Highly recommend.
The shower room itself is comfortable. The showerhead, however, doesn't really do the job - it's very large but the water flow is too weak and doesn't feel effective. The robe rack is on the inside bathroom door, and every time you open the door, it feels like they're touching the bidet. Not a good idea. Lack of towel racks

Trip of a lifetime!
The staff went above and beyond with excellent service and providing guides for tours and guidance for our trip. The bar, restaurant and cleaning staff were the friendliest and most efficient I have ever seen. The location is perfect to walk to all the tourist sites and markets we wanted to see. The views from the rooftop bar were amazing and a great place to relax. Overall, one of the best places I have stayed in the world.
