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.

Perfect location to walk to all the places we wanted to see. The Acropolis, Plaka, museum, National Garden, Parliament, and some neighborhoods with authentic Greek food. Fantastic roof restaurant with the best views.

The staff were excellent, super friendly and quite helpful. Location was the best - less than a min to the shopping street, and a couple mins to the hugh street and about 5mins to the Square. The view from the breakfast venue was breath-taking. We had a swim in the indoor pool in the Spa which was an excellent way to start the day.

The rooms are a bit small. Outdoor pool was closed and we found out quite late. It was also a bit pricy.

Fantastic find in an excellent location.

What a brilliant hotel find. We were in Athens before and didn't like it but this time, it was completely different. The location is everything. You have an excellent vantage point of the Acropolis. The restaurant is on the rooftop and the breakfast was second to none. Fantastic food, coffee and fresh juices.

A lot of traffic made it difficult to reach the hotel from the airport as it's in the very centre of a busy city. But being able to walk everywhere made it worth it.

We have stayed at this hotel many times. We tend to alternate either Electra Metropolis as we like both these hotels. The location is great. The entrance and the bar very pleasant and the breakfast and restaurant also very good.

Unfortunately this time there was a pervasive unpleasant smell both in the room and in many common areas possibly because of the renovation works going on.

Great hotel with great people in brilliant location

Lovely hotel in great location, rooftop bar has a view of the Acropolis to die for - esp at night. Breakfast excellent, room lovely (suite was not cheap but classy). Staff and service above reproach. Great stay

Restaurant a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for and the rooftop bar is really something else!

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.
