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.

Overall great and would return in warmer weather when more facilities are open.

Loved the location and the breakfast! Loved the view of the Acropolis, especially in the evening. The spa was nice. The front desk helped arrange tours and drivers which was super handy!

Wished the pool was open for kids after 2pm. Wished there were better dining options that were more family friendly on-site. The room was quite noisy at night - better soundproofing would be great. Cold air also came into our room through the porch.

Luxurious hotel in heart of Athens with incredible rooftop view and friendly staff.

Beautiful hotel with incredible roof top view from dining room. Quiet rooms with plush beds and lovely artwork. Friendly helpful staff. Great location for exploring Plaka and central sites of Athens on foot.

access to indoor pool must be scheduled. Airport transportation is not free as suggested by Booking.com listing though they were very helpful arranging early morning ride and breakfast to go.

Hotel was in a great location. So central to every area and the main tourist spots. Didn't need to get one taxi and everywhere we needed to go was within 20 minute walk. Staff are honestly some of the most helpful and friendliest staff I've ever experienced. Couldn't do enough for you. Rooms are slightly dated but you see that in the photos so no suprises. Still very comfortable and bathrooms are lovely and modern. The rest of the hotel is also amazing. The roof top is just beautiful. Breakfast is lovely, staff make it even more enjoyable as they are so friendly and helpful. Really loved our stay.

No complaints. To be VERY picky...Maybe the breakfast could be a little less buttery/oily but cooking for the masses is hard and aware its easier this way.

Exceptional Hospitality in the Heart of Athens

English – Professional Hotel Review First of all, from the reservation stage to the moment of check-out, the entire hotel staff was extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful. I would like to sincerely thank the hotel management, the front office manager, and all front desk staff for their contributions to making us love Athens and for helping make our first trip to Europe truly perfect. The housekeeping team was also outstanding. Our room was cleaned impeccably every day, and the evening chocolate treats were a very thoughtful and delightful touch. The restaurant staff were equally remarkable—always smiling, helpful, and dedicated to providing excellent service. I may not remember every name, but Ms. Anna, who first contacted us through Booking.com, and Ms. Victoria, who assisted us during check-in, made a particularly strong impression. Their willingness to help with all our requests—always with a genuine focus on guest satisfaction and without the slightest hesitation—made our stay even more enjoyable. I sincerely congratulate the entire team, wish them continued success, and hope to see you again when we visit Athens in the future. Please be assured that I will gladly recommend both your wonderful country and your excellent hotel to all my friends. Kind regards.

Very good

The location in Plaka and hotel are great. Breakfast on the roof was fantastic. The rooms were comfortable.

I thought the front door staff (not reception) could be more proactive. If we arrive or leave in a taxi and there are a group of men standing there talking with each other, please at least help my wife in and out. The street is narrow so it's not so easy. This happened many times. The spa facility was fine and staff very nice for scheduling time. The gym (even in a small room) should have a few more items for men like heavier dumbells at least 20kg i stead of just 10kg) that could be made with low investment.

I recommend this hotel, the location is excellent and the staff are warm and welcoming.

The Electra Palace Athens is in an excellent location. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is unhurried with a good choice of food options. The indoor pool is small and booking is required. The hotel is clean, our room was serviced daily and fresh towels supplied as required. There is an a view of the Acropolis from the roof top bar and restaurant.

A must-visit hotel if you are going to Athens

The hotel’s location in excellent, in a quite street but still close to all the main venues and with amazing views of the Acropolis. The rooms are spacious and very nice and the staff is amazingly friendly. We just had a perfect stay with our family.

Old-fashioned luxury, friendly and welcoming ambiance

Great staff. The location is great if you enjoy walking. The room was magnificent and warm, and the bathroom/shower was truly enjoyable. The highlight, however, is the spa area—easily the best in Belgrade!

As it wasn't the peak tourist season, the hotel was very quiet. But this meant I had the beautiful spa all to myself, and the staff were incredibly accommodating

Relaxed and hassle free.

Great location, spacious, comfy rooms, while the staff were always ready to help. The cool, dinning room-bar on the top floor, has a fantastic view of the Acropolis and Athens. The barman made an exceptional margarita, while the service was fast and always friendly.

Clean, comfortable, various breakfast, excellent view from roof. Central location. Very welcome staff.

Regarding the spa - you have to book it. And you allowed to book only 1 hour per day. Good thing with it that this way you really have your privacy. Bad thing - high season I believe is a big issue to find an available slot. Another issue - I received an email that despite the renovations all the facilities are working, but in fact the outdoor pool and terrace were closed, but in booking description there are not specified as seasonable or closed. Even I wasn't planning to swim in outdoor pool at January but I did except to have a rest at this terrace near the pool ....
