It's just a shame that Greece is going through such turmoil right now (as I type, anyhow). The Electra Palace holds many a special memory for my family and we've been returning there on an annual basis. We've seen the hotel change into the jewel of the Plaka and it's also so comforting to see their friendly faces. Location is... More

Great staff, great room, great amenities. We were upgraded to a suite with multiple balconies overlooking the parthenon. Also received wine and fruit for staying with them on our honeymoon. The restaurant for breakfast offers a little bit of everything and offers a great meal. The location is very good, an easy walk to most parts of Athens. We were... More

Quite simply the best hotel we have ever stayed in. Entrance of the hotel was beautiful and clean and very grand,reception staff could not have been more helpful on arrival and departure. The room was perfect, spacious with a large comfortable bed and a large bathroom (all very clean at all times) and even though we never asked for a... More

We stayed for 2 nights in this 5 star hotel. Its location is absolutely ideal: 3 min walk from Syntagma square and metro station and another 3 min walk from picture-perfect Plaka, and yet nested in a small narrow road with few traffic. It is a very elegant hotel, very clean, its rooms are simple but elegant and well equipped... More

The foyer is spacious and welcoming. Food excellent and good choice for breakfast. If you want a treat the roof top restaurant is stunning with Master... More

Smallish room but then again we had a teenager with us. Helpful staff, great breakfast in the garden and walk to all sites (Usually our most important requirement in choosing hotels) More

We actually stayed here October 6 - 10, 2011 but am just now writing a review. The hotel was recommended to us by Fantasy Travel. Is it the best place I've ever stayed? No, however, for what we paid and what was delivered - I'd definitely stay again. First, you can't beat the location with the views of the Acropolis... More

We stayed for two nights last November prior to a cruise. The hotel is on a good quiet side street within easy walking distance of the major tourist sites. A great breakfast is available and the helpul staff make the Electra Palace a top choice for Athens. Note: Room 222 is a suite with a view of the Acropolis which... More
