This is our second time here because it is top notch. I love the roof top pool, the roof top dining and it is so close to plaka. It is the perfect spot! The beds are comfortable. I had to get two rooms for my family of four because they do not have a room with two doubles. And you can’t get same day reservations at night so book ahead for dining. But I highly recommend!

The staff went out of the way to accommodate our child as it was not mentioned on the original reservation. The facility is in excellent location, well maintained and has beautiful view to the acropolis including a dining restaurant at the very top. Rooms can be little bit bigger.

Not what it used to be. Our 7th and likely last stay here. Now prefer Metropolis Athens. I don’t depressed frustration that there is no free water in room and manager called me angry and started interrogating “ma’am, do you have a problem?!”.. unprofessional. Also, my daughter had her 4th bday and we asked if they can set up Anh surprise or balloon on arrival. They said No. we paid for a tiny cupcake to be served with candle at breakfast buffet and paid for a bottle of champagne. The angry manager on previous call also made it seem that they did something special - No, we paid for the cupcake and bottle.. they did give a free small teddy bear (after all that). metropolis gives same to all kids.

The room was larger than we expected and was set up perfectly for our family. Everyone was helpful, giving directions to the local historical sites. The restaurant and bar on the roof have a wonderful view of the Acropolis. Truly a great experience!

We had a lovely stay with our family of four at Electra Palace Athens. The room set up was ideal - two separate, adjoining rooms, with the appropriate bed set up. The location was spectacular. We had a snack at the pool bar - lovely! And dinner and breakfast on the roof. Truly special. We were only there for one night - but wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you!

Good location, few blocks from palace, close to plaka area, 10 min walk to acropolis (uphill so not great walk if you have kids or older adults). Staff was helpful and the rooftop restaurant/bar has great views. Stayed in a garden view room which was fine, little outdated but clean.

Great location and hotel. The swimming pool, jacuzzi and spa as well as the roof garden backdrop are great and staff are fantastic.The food choices at the resturant though could vastly improve especially with kids (no pizza or pasta) and the classic triple room we stayed had bad smells around the bathroom although it was completely clean. We kept ac on all time and it was fine. Overall a good stay at the center of athens.
