Hotel Electra Palace, Athens

18-20 N, Navarchou Nikodimou Street, Athina 105 57, Greece (show on map)

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.

this is a true 5 star hotel, with stunning views, good location and superb service.

Everthing. The both personal and professional welcome from reception team at arrival. The rooftop bar and pool (it was just a little packed... before 6pm... but still, just great). The breakfast with stunning views on Acropolis and the city down to the seaside. The room with a fantastic view on Acropolis. The restaurant downstairs in the garden with innovative cuisine.

if you insist... maybe it would be possible to expand the roof terrace to provide another 6-8 day beds... that would reduce rush hour. But again, even so, we would first sit near the bar... and get some daybed later.

Beautiful hotel with professional staff

As soon as you arrive, you have this 5 star feeling. The valet came right away to our taxi. All the staff was very nice and smiling at the reception desk. I found that the hotel lobby, pool area and roof top restaurant looks better in person than in the pictures.

The rooftop restaurant was already full even though we went right away in the morning to make a reservation for that same day

Wonderful!

The breakfast was delicious - the rooftop dining room looked out to the city, and the Acropolis and Parthenon and St. George’s church on top of a mountain on the other side. Just gorgeous day or night. Very close to restaurants and shopping. We needed another suitcase for souvenirs and got one within walking distance.

Comfortable hotel in the city center

Friendly polite staff, good choice and picturesque Acropolis view at breakfast, comfortable accomodation. 5-7 minutes walk to all the central sights and cultural places, a lot of nice cafes and restaurants around. Liked it all about the hotel.

Some small details to pay attention (didn't spoil the general impression, but could be improved) It would be great to add porridge at breakfast menu Outside pool water was really freezing (wish it could have been heated) Only one hook in the bathroom (not enough to hang towels for all the members of the family), no special dryer system to dry one's swimsuit after the pool.

Delightful and warm 5 star hotel

Very beautiful rooms - great view of the Acropolis from breakfast (included) and dinner if you chose to eat at the hotel. We could also see the Acropolis from our balcony.

The whole area had graffiti on it - turns out that there is graffiti everywhere in Athens but I worried at first that the area wasn’t safe.

Very good

This was a great hotel, with a phenomenal view of the Acropolis while dining at the restaurant or relaxing by the pool. Some staff were slow to check on us but, overall they were great. A somewhat larger issue was the walls are very thin! We heard several alarms going off during the night, and the bathroom was quite small with almost no storage drawers, shelving etc. Otherwise, it is a gorgeous venue and it really is close, but not too close, to all the sites and the market. And the food was amazing.

Good locaition and views

Very nice hotel, great rooftop dining with views of the Acropolis. Great shower. Really nice bed. Wi-fi was good. Free water in the room. Nice staff.

Not enough plug sockets, food/drink in the room was expensive (5 euros for a packet of crisps). Was near the lift, it was quite noisy and not very soundproof.

A Superb Hotel

This is our 4th stay at this superb hotel. Firstly the location is literally a 2 minute walk to Plaka and nearby amenities. The staff go out of their way to make sure you have a wonderful time in Athens. Breakfast is plentiful, and you can enjoy your breakfast in the rooftop restaurant with the amazing view of the Acropolis. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Fabulous

One of the best hotels we stayed in Europe: cosy, location, service, breakfast, view from the restaurant, very well trained and attentive staff.

On the last day we had to leave early in the morning, 6 hours before the flight and stayed in the airport as they decided to close the center of Athens at 7:00 in the morning for a parade, which planned to be at 10-10:30(

Location-wise the best Hotel around, great Staff and magnificent views!

Breakfast was incredible with a magnificent view over the city and of course the acropolis! Staff is very friendly and the hotel location was amazing. It’s in the center of the city and you can get to all the important sights within minutes - it’s all in walking distance, we didn’t have to order a taxi (apart from the drive from and to the airport).

I expected our room to be a bit more modern than it was, given that the hotel is a 5-star.
