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.”

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

Heavenly bed, spectacular breakfast buffet!

After exceptionally long travel delays, it was so, so good to arrive in a beautiful, clean room with complimentary delicious treats awaiting. The shower was incredible and I loved the Frederic Malle toiletries (Eau de Magnolia) wrapped up in the comfy bathrobe. I slept on the most comfortable bed and woke up to the most delicious breakfast buffet! They have EVERYTHING and spare no expense on the details. I also had TWO cappuccinos while enjoying the rooftop view on the balcony. It was a delightful!!

The room was next to the elevator so that wasn’t my favorite but the view was incredible and I am happy we had that space.

It was outstanding, with excellent service and the most amazing staff ever.

The breakfast buffet was outstanding, as was the view of the Acropolis from the breakfast room! We had a medical issue while we were there and the staff was amazing - from setting us up with a clinic, arranging taxi service, and for their continued concern throughout our stay.

There was nothing we didn't like.

For the location and the ease of getting around in the city I’d definitely visit again.

The location is absolutely fabulous. Right in the centre of the action and walkable to most major attractions, the Plaka and with plenty of bars, cafés and restaurants to choose from. The breakfast spread is excellent and the view from the rooftop is better than can be expressed in words. The staff is wonderful - friendly, warm and accommodating.

To be honest I didn’t spend much time in there, but my room was strictly ok in terms of space. The bathroom, however, was rather tiny. The shower space was difficult to navigate in - and I’m not a particularly large person. :)

Wonderful stay in Athens!

Lovely hotel, super quiet considering it’s location, the soundproofing on the windows was top! Staff were amazing, the breakfast was exceptional and the view from the rooftop restaurant and bar was absolutely fantastic. Would stay there again for sure! Oh and yes it’s expensive but use the spa, the massage was brilliant!

Pillows weren’t the best but I am being seriously nit picky here!

Amazing view, breakfast is takes place on the top floor with a nice terrace, you can get a table outside or inside, the walls are made out of glass so even if you stay inside you can still enjoy the view. The hotel is in a perfect location, we walked to the Acropolis from the hotel. Very nice place.

We got two separate beds moved together even though we wanted one big bed but we didn't complain so it was still good.

Location was exceptional. Room was first rate and everything you would expect of a 5 star hotel. Breakfast was great and view was amazing. Even got a rainbow on this particular morning with a view of the Acropolis. Added bonus. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

A comfortable stay in an excellent location.

We liked that it was very central and easy to walk to any of the sights and lots of restaurants in any direction. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was very good, and the view amazing. The pillows were some of the best I’ve experienced at an hotel.

Unfortunately - not the hotel’s fault - but there were bottle banks directly under our windows which made it extremely noisy in the evenings and late into the night when they were being used or emptied. A good pair of ear plugs required!
