Lock in a great price for Electra Palace Athens – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Beautiful hotel in the heart of the Plaka! Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and main attractions. Rooftop pool and bar with the view of the Acropolis and over the city is simply breathtaking. Staff were very helpful and were always wanting to assist where possible. The room was modern, in good condition and although on the small side, had everything one would want. Breakfast was fantastic, sitting outside was an added bonus too. Will definitely return.

Emmanuel, Australia

Very nice, welcoming, and accomodating staff! Room was very nice and clean! Close location to the city center. Complimentary breakfast was convenient with a variety of selections!

Elaina, United States of America

Great position for visiting the Acropolis and nearby places. Close to shops and restaurants. Fabulous view of the Acropolis. Stunning at night. Athens was experiencing a heat wave when we were there so we really appreciated the pool. The concierge was very helpful in recommending a good restaurant for dinner and in securing a well positioned table. The manager of the roof top restaurant was also very accomodating when we arrived at the hotel late in the evening and arrived at the restaurant without a booking.

Michelle, Australia

Very helpful and polite staff. Grand reception area and the rooftop pool.

Filia, Australia

The staff was extremely helpful! I loved that they sent an offer of arranging a taxi to pick us up at the airport....especially because we landed at 10:40 at night after a long flight. The breakfast was very good. We did not eat at the restaurant otherwise. The view was beautiful and the location is fantastic!!

Donna, United States of America

This is a 5 star Hotel. Everyone was very accommodating. I was a little skeptical to book this property because of some bad reviews I read but I have nothing bad to say about this hotel. Very clean, the rooms were very nice and the bathrooms were great. I was expecting a package to be delivered to me at the front desk and I informed them about it, when we returned for the evening I had asked if the package arrived and they said yes and took it to our room. I would highly recommend this Hotel to anyone. You walk out the front door and you were only a block and a half away from the Plaka. We also took advantage of the pool on the roof top and enjoyed it very much not to mention the breathtaking view of the Acropolis from the roof top as well. I would most definitely stay there again

Steven, United States of America

It was a lovely place to stay with friendly staff and a beautiful view. The breakfast buffet was expansive

Julia, United States of America

Marcus, Germany

Stunning classic luxury hotel in a brilliant position for exploring Athens, Plaka The rooms were big very comfortable beds, lovely bathroom and quality furniture The breakfast was great but staff in the dining room very grumpy. Not one smile The spa was outstanding

Tracy, Australia

The front desk staff was superb! They've managed to accommodate our early check in. Then, on our check out day, they've alllwed us to continue using their pool and shower in their spa before our departure. The breakfast was top notch. Lots of options, and attentive staff. They will also make you a cappuccino at request! The room was fantastic with magical views of the Acropolis. The sheets were so soft and we had an amazing sleep. It was like sleeping in the clouds!

눉Not a fan of showers in baths. Step into the shower/bath was high so may be problematic for some guests. Area around the pool was not large so some guests were unable to secure a poolside lounge or chair.
눇Great position for visiting the Acropolis and nearby places. Close to shops and restaurants. Fabulous view of the Acropolis. Stunning at night. Athens was experiencing a heat wave when we were there so we really appreciated the pool.

눉Had booked 2 rooms as travelling with my older teenage kids. What a disaster.. human feaces on bathroom floor. Not what you expect at a 5 star hotel. Response from hotel was far from acceptable. Still waiting on GM Of hotel to reply. Duty manager apologised, however, considering so many other 5 star hotels. Pick something else. Wouldn't recommend this, nor will I ever stay in the Athens Electra palace.
