Hotel Electra Metropolis, Athens

Mitropoleos 15, Athina 105 57, Greece (show on map)

Expert reviews

CNN review:

“This 216-room hotel has sweeping views of the Parthenon, an outdoor pool, and is centrally located near Syntagma Square. There are three restaurants, a rooftop bar, a sauna and a Turkish bath in the Electra Metropolis.”

Fodors review:

“The Electra Metropolis marries the retro chic aesthetics of the ’50s and ’60s with the modernity of the 21st century. High up on the 10th floor is the roof garden with a stunning 360° panoramic view of Athens and beyond.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Athens.

Telegraph review:

“The rooms are polished and the location couldn’t be more central, but the trump card at this five-star hotel in downtown Athens is undoubtedly the roof terrace, thanks to a small pool and full-blown views of the Parthenon.”

Lovely hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were very spacious and clean. The restaurant on the 10th floor had a stunning view of the Acropolis. We had a great stay and this will now be our go to hotel whenever we are in Athens.

Location of the hotel, staff, cleanliness of the room, beds - all this was very good. A long (along two sides of the room) balcony, with the Acropolis view was a great advantage. In spite of the location of the hotel in the very center of the city it was very silent during the night (we were on the 9th floor). Breakfasts were wery good and the view from the restaurant, located on the top floor, was great. The hotel has no garage but we were able to keep the car in the sister hotel about 200m away.

The room was to be 48 sqm and was much smaller. WiFi was not encrypted, which makes its use problematic from the security point of view for other purposes than browsing the internet.

Good option in city center with great views

Great location and great rooftop bar/ restaurant

The room was not perfectly clean; there was dirt below the carpets. There are small things missing to consider this a 5 star hotel. Breakfast offered wide variety but not of best quality.

Good hotel in the inner city.

Clean room. Nice breakfast. Unbeatable view. Near syntagma and plaka, tourists will love it.

The main reason for our booking was the indoor pool. Attention it is a adult only, so you cannot swim with your family after a long day in the city.

Very good

Staff at the reception and the restaurant were very nice and attentive Breakfast was super

we were very close to the next building. from our window only saw the next building. We have a feeling that the porter "made a deal" with a taxi driver - the driver took us 15 euros for a travel that we paid 5.30 euros on the way back, after midnight....

Good hotel with excellent location.

Perfect location for short city trip to Athens. Staff very helping.

Overall cleanliness was ok. Bathrooms need a uplift for the matter hotel claims to be a 5 -star. Water drainage was not perfect and water came out through the bottom joint between floor and glass. Another thing the hotel must improve is on sustainability. They claim to be plastic free and hence provide water in Tetra Pak Carton bottle. This is not sustainable. It will be better if water is provided in glass bottles. Tetrapak cartons always have a very fine layer of plastic foil to protect carton from absorbing liquid.

Almost everything you'll expect from a 5 star hotel. From a simple sweet welcome greetings and assisting with all your luggage, to a luxurious room with a comfy bed and plenty of pillows to choose from, with a spacious bathroom too! Be amazed with the perfect view of the Acropolis Hill while having breakfast at the restaurant on the 10th floor of the hotel.

Not being able to swim at the indoor pool due to the on going refurbishment during our stay.

We will return again

The service, cleanliness, location, view is stunning overlooking Acropolis. The response of providing a coffee machine to our room, after requesting it through online evaluation. A sign and action of a company focus in providing personalized service and making our stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. looking forward in returning back.

The room furniture were worn out, scratched, missing pieces

Excellent City Centre Hotel

Staff were friendly and extremely helpful with directions and recommendations for our short stay. The rooftop restaurant has good food and superb view.

The gym is under reconstruction and thus small and you can't go without an appointment and I was unable to get an "appointment" when I needed one

Why start redecoration outside my door before 7am? Can't they place guests on another floor or let them know in advance.

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in…

The location, polite staff, clean, spacious and warm room and also the view of rooftop restaurant to Acropolis was amazing

The view of our room was the main street next to hotel and about 20 meter away from the windows of the front building! The view was awful!
