Hotel Electra Palace, Athens
Expert reviews
“Nestled on an unassuming little street in the heart of Plaka, Athens’ quaintest and most historic neighborhoods, the neoclassical-style hotel building is grandiose in a charmingly old-fashioned way.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Athens.
“The recently redecorated Electra Palace, on a quiet side street between Syntagma Square and Plaka, is one of the upmarket, comfortable, reliable Greek chain of Electra hotels. Unusually for a hotel in the heart of Athens, it has both an indoor and outdoor pool.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Athens.

Good location and nice accomodation
The central location. The hotel was ideally located for seeing the main sites of Athens.
The corner room was on the second floor with a side facing the street, so noise from street level could be heard (bin lorries/motorbikes/party-goers), but did not continue all night.

We had high aspirations before our stay and they managed to exceed them all magnificentlty
Everything about our stay was brilliant. The location was central and all sites of interest were very close. The staff were exceptionally friendly with excellent English, they even helped locate a brilliant local guide for our Acropolis adventure. The views from the stunning eighth floor breakfast room (glass-walled) were breath taking with a mesmerising aspect of the entire Acropolis and all across the rest of a rising Athens. Breakfast was varied to all tastes, with a wonderful range of options and service was to a 5* standard in every contact. The level of cleanliness was impeccable throughout !!!
Absolutely nothing was amiss

Stunning views and elegant hotel
Good breakfast and stunning view from the restaurant on the top floor (which is where breakfast is served). Rooms are a little bit dated, but nice and comfortable anyway. It was January so we didn't use the outside pool on the terrace, but it looks cool. Location is also good, right in the middle of Plaka and walking distance from lots of cafes, restaurants and sights.

The views from the room and restaurant were amazing. The location is unreal — close to the Acropolis, other landmarks, and great restaurants. The staff were helpful, informative, and attentive.
The hotel was undergoing construction on the floor above our room. We were not informed of this before our arrival.
