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.”

Great location. Amazing top roof restaurant with acropolis views .

Wifi weakness, kitchen smells in most of rooms because of the empty quarter hotel design, they should solve smells issues

תרגום לאנגלית: Excellent location. The staff is professional, friendly, and excellent. The food is rich and varied.

The bed is not suitable for a couple, as it consists of two separate beds that are not connected. It is expected that the bed in an expensive (Executive) room would be more comfortable.

The hotel is located in an extremely central area, making it easy to explore almost the entire city on foot. Its convenient location really enhanced our stay.

For a 5-star hotel, I believe the rooftop should remain open much later, and the breakfast selection could have been more diverse and richer.

Luxury and history with great service attitude in the heart of Athens!

Fantastic location and Acropolis suite view can’t be beat. Evening and breakfast buffet on the roof were both great. Staff was extremely helpful - especially the concierge who gave us a tour of the ruins in the basement!

Perfect location, amazing view of the Acropolis, Impeccable service, great food.

The breakfast was excellent, The food in general is perfect. The service is impeccable, very polite and helpful staff. No to speak about the Acropolis view which from the top terrace seems like at a one hand distance.

The doors of the bathrooms need a renovation.

Fabulous location, clean and spacious room. First and foremost the wonderful staff, oh so kind and eager to help and satisfy your every need, always with a warm smile.

Albeit not as new and modern as other properties, I liked everything. A larger variety of fresh vegetables at breakfast would have been really nice

Luxurious!

Excellent location with beautiful rooms. The bathroom is excellent. We enjoyed the rooftop bar and breakfast on level 10. The rooftop was perfect for a bottle of wine late afternoon while enjoying the Acropolis view and sunset. The staff were excellent. We were granted a late check out which was very much appreciated. The best hotel stay of our 3 month European holiday! We can't wait to stay here again.

Best hotel in Athens

The hotel was absolutely stunning, we were very happy with our room that we were given. The room had a very nice decor and the bed was very comfortable, it was very clean and the bathroom was very luxurious.The hotels location was perfect and was close to all amenities lots of cafes, restaurants, shops and a short drive to the Acropolis. Throughout the hotel it was all modern decor and a very high standard. All of the staff were very professional and very helpful, they went above and beyond for us. The breakfast was amazing with a very large choice of food, the breakfast staff were very attentive and brought us glasses of fruit juice and coffees. The view from the 10th floor where breakfast is served has a breathtaking view of the Acropolis. The gym had everything we required and the indoor pool was lovely and relaxing, but it was advised to book it as it sometimes gets busy. I would highly recommend this hotel if youre looking for a city break in Athens

There isn't anything that we didn't like
