2nd time we stayed here now at the Electra Athens, as the location suits us great. I pre-arranged a group booking of 6 rooms from the UK for a weekend break, all my guests found this hotel extremely suitable. Must say, my room (804) though this time was rather on the small side especially the bathroom, but next time I'll... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel about 2 weeks ago for 5 days.To be blunt we were dissapointed , the rooms are small and tired and the carpet is dirty . Whilst the location is excellent ie a stones throw to Constitution square , the Plaka and the Acropolis overall the hotel is less than impressive. I, like... More

Beautiful location. Excellent and very helpful staff! Wonderful resteraunts close buy! Room was very comfortable. Since building was old, had to keep door lock card in a dock inside to keep electricity running, but this was no problem. Air conditionwer was slow. So traveling in the hot months could be an issue. One block from La Plaka. No trouble with... More

The Electra is a 3 star hotel, the room is a bit tired, breakfast is a large buffet. The room was pretty clean other than the usual mould in the small bathroom. The bed was 2 twins pushed together and hard with pillows that were way too soft. Absolutely fantastic location in the Plaka with lots of restaurants, cafe’s and... More

Over the years I've stayed in various places in Athens. The Electra is a favourite. I love the location which is 20 yards from the square and handy for the Metro and the Airport bus. The rooms are clean and the bathrooms are modern and of good quality. There is a very good breakfast served in the dining room and... More

My husband and I stayed there for 4 days, approximately a week ago. During that time, we both enjoyed our staying there because it had everything we were asking at the time; clean rooms and great location. We could walk to theaters, shops, Acropoli and Thision and more. As for the staff, I only have 1 thing to say: EXCELLENT!... More

My daughter & I stayed at the Electra Hotel for 2 nights July 15 & 16. It was quite a nice hotel but was spoiled by the woman on reception who on all occasions was the most incredibly rude woman we have ever come across. Her whole manner was dismissive & abrasive. She should not be working in this position.... More

Nice hotel with good location. Not much atmosphere and the rooms are fairly small and dark. No free wifi. The staff was helpfull and accomodating. Breakfast was ok. The hotel has no connection to bonus programs. Even on business i would either go for a known brand hotel or a hotel with better atmosphere instead. More

Needing to overnite in Athens before flying back to Sydney we chose this hotel for it's reasonable cost and where it was located. We weren't disappointed. Had a comfortable room and enjoyed a very nice breakfast the following morning. Located on Ermou St was really convenient for some last minute shopping and we were just a 5 min. stroll from... More
