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.”

The location was excellent for our Athens trip. We were able to walk to every major historical site on our "must visits list" within 15 minutes. Breakfast views of the Parthenon were a great added bonus.

Fantastic and will recommend to friends

Great Breakfast so many choices . Great location. Staff very pleasant and attentive - really couldn’t fault it.

Maybe the Decor in the rooms is a little dated but I’m an Architect so it’s probably not an issue.

Outstanding room, great bed, sheets and towels. Breakfast choices were excellent. Location is perfect. The roof top bar overlooking the Acropolis is magical.

They put a women on the second floor which needed no passcard security needed to get to her room. This was not a thoughtful assignment. Nor was the garbage cart outside my room appreciated.

Electra Metropolis

The hotel is in a great location to restaurants, the acropolis and many of the other attractions in Athens. The room was of a very good standard and have views of the acropolis, although I think you need to be on the higher floors. The restaurant is good, and the rooftop pool and bar is really nice, with amazing views of the acropolis. The room was regularly cleaned every day and aircon was also effective. There is also a small spa area with a small pool and gym, plus spa treatments available at extra cost. The breakfast is also excellent and you get to have breakfast looking out over the acropolis if you get up early enough! Overall a great hotel and facilities.

The spa was a bit on the small side. Only a sauna and steam room. The pool is very small and also the jacuzzi was not working.

We had an awesome stay!

Great facilities and location. The staff were most accommodating. We really enjoyed the breakfast and the views of the Acropolis from our table.

The restaurant was a little pricey for lunch and dinner options. Fortunately, there are many dining alternatives nearby.

Best place to stay to enjoy Athens

I have stayed at several hotels in Athens over the years, and the Electra Metropolis has the best location to experience the city's best attractions. There are plenty of excellent restaurants within a short walking distance. The size of the rooms is more than enough compared to others. The brunch is also a winner.

Very nice hotel in downtown Athens - close to everything.

Room was large and comfortable. Beds were great. Breakfast was a lavish buffet and the view from the restaurant to the Acropolis is outstanding. Incredible at night when having dinner there. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see from the hotel

Outside pool was too small and there were not enough lounge chairs for the size hotel. We lucked out both days in getting lounge chairs, but many folks could not.
