This hotel was fabulous! We loved that it was centrally located. Our view was beautiful. You could see the Acropolis from the room. The rooftop bar was also amazing. It enabled us to have late night drinks with the most beautiful view of the Acropolis. The restaurants were great! The breakfast in the morning was also greatly appreciated. The food was wonderful and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. We would highly recommend this place!

Overall good property but don't expect full view of Parthenon from rooftop restaurant. We stayed at Intercontinental for first 2 nights and the view of Parthenon was excellent. Room was much smaller, please check the square feet area of the room. Breakfast was good.

Everything was very good, including the courtyard restaurant, which clearly attracts a local audience as well as the guests. The rooftop restaurant and bar is fine for breakfast and snacks, but doesn’t measure up to the quality of what is available on the ‘garden’ or the surrounding area. Elderly Americans seem to like it though, and for them it is probably perfectly pitched.

Our stay started out with a friendly greeting from the bellmen and the ease of having someone to manage luggage. The lobby is inviting, calm and smells wonderful. The front desk staff is polite, friendly and professional. The room was clean and well appointed with a Nespresso machine in the room, a perk for me for sure! The shower was hot with great water pressure. Very clean and comfortable. The included breakfast is just wonderful. Fresh fruit and vegetables, hot foods like eggs and sausage, an assortment of pastries, cheeses and yogurt and fresh brewed lattes. We had dinner in the rooftop restaurant and both the service and the food were incredible. The view of the Acropolis is beautiful. This hotel is a quite oasis in the heart of a very busy, noisy Athens.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at the Electra Palace in Athens. The hotel is conveniently located in the centre of the Plaka neighborhood, close to many shops and restaurants. The acropolis is an easy 15 minute walk. We had both breakfast and dinner at the 8th floor restaurant which has a beautiful view of the acropolis and city of Athens. The food was incredible. The room was well kept and comfortable. The staff were very helpful making recommendations and booking our taxi. An amazing stay!
