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.”

The only issue I faced, and what I did not like, was that my request for a double bed was not considered, even though I specifically asked for it during the booking process and again before arrival. Unfortunately, I was given a different bed arrangement, which caused inconvenience and did not meet my needs.

A great home base in the middle of the city
- The breakfast is very rich in choice and tasty (around 8 hot dishes, multiple sorts of breads, spreads, vegetables, fruit, yoghurt, desserts, and much more). - The view from the restaurant (where e.g. the breakfast happens) is amazing. - There is a small sauna and a small gym. - Our room was spacious and furnished well. - The location is absolutely exceptional -- close to all major attractions and a metro station (Syntagma). - The hotel left small gifts in the room -- e.g. welcome cake bites.
Let's start with the main reason why I only gave 8 points: The Wifi was absolutely horrendous during our visit. There are 3 open Wifis and none of them provided a satisfactory speed for modern usage (like streaming movies or watching Youtube). There were a lot of guests in the hotel over the Christmas days, so this might have influenced it -- but in general this feels like a major oversight for a hotel that seems so modern in all other aspects. Minor issues: - The double bed is two beds next to each other. Very hard to really be close together if you don't want to sink into the gap between the beds. - The sauna is small and needs reservation. On full days the reservations are all booked in advance and you might not get a spot.

The location is very lively at night, which may affect sleep due to crowds and noise. The reception staff were polite but rarely smiled and felt somewhat reserved. The internet connection was slow at times. Otherwise, everything was very good.

Amazing hotel, excellent location, and excellent staff in taking care of the guest.
The breakfast was very good, rich, and the hotel staff was charming, courteous and provided excellent service. The hotel's location is excellent, central and accessible to everywhere.
The bed pillows were too big and very hard, which made for an uncomfortable sleep, and more than once caused us to wake up in the morning feeling tired.

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.
