Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“Nestled on an unassuming little street in the heart of Plaka, Athens’ quaintest and most historic neighborhoods, the neoclassical-style hotel building is grandiose in a charmingly old-fashioned way.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Athens.

Frommers review:

“The recently redecorated Electra Palace, on a quiet side street between Syntagma Square and Plaka, is one of the upmarket, comfortable, reliable Greek chain of Electra hotels. Unusually for a hotel in the heart of Athens, it has both an indoor and outdoor pool.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Athens.

Been to Electra before and will come back again

Great staff and good to see long term employees happy in their work. Convenient location

Signage during work as a wet rug (during cleaning)damaged some of my bags and in turn some important paperwork.

A nice and comfortable city stay.

Perfect location, vibe, decoration. The spa and breakfast were enjoyable, too.

The double bed were 2 single beds united which very often were slipping apart.

Great location with exceptional staff

The hotel is located very near to ermou street which is the main shopping street. The hotel is super clean and everyone was really really nice and helpful. The breakfest has a nice view to the acropolis (kinda like all other hotels)

A little pricy but you get what you pay for

Beautiful view from the balcony. Breakfast was very nice and the view from the restaurant was gorgeous

The gentleman at reception, who checked us in had the worst attitude possible. Considering that check in is your first impression - he totally ruined it. So unprofessional.

Our stay was very comfortable and it was easy to move around

The staff gives excellent service. They all appear to take pride in their work and giving great service.

Since it’s in the center of plaka there was little noise from the street. But once we mentioned that they moved us on higher floor and upgraded us for free.

Absolutely fantastic place. Rooftop is stunning.

Absolutely stunning view from rooftop. Superb restaurant & bar overlooking the Acropolis. Breakfast was excellent, served on rooftop. Excellent staff all round. Perfect location.

Not hotel’s fault: some people stay at 5* hotels & behave like animals. Our corridor was filled with people shouting & arguing late into the night.

A wonderful location from which to explore the city

Wonderful view of the Acropolis from the dining room. The staff were all friendly, polite and very helpful. The location was perfect for seeing the main sites in the city, it was an easy walk to lots of lovely bars, restaurants and shops but it was on a quiet safe street.

Breakfast felt a little rushed at times as the staff needed to get tables cleared and relaid asap to accommodate all the potential diners.

A world class gem

The location is the best, and the service was impeccable. The staff go out of their way for you. The rooftop restaurant and the one on the ground floor are both outstanding with regard to the atmosphere and food quality. In short, a small gem.

The room was much smaller than what Ii expected based on the picture, and the hairdryer kept switching off.
