An excellent hotel. Perfect location. The breakfast is excellent and rich — a large variety of cheeses, pastries, and omelettes, including real freshly squeezed orange juice poured to the table. The hotel has a nice spa with a pool and sauna, and each guest books a private time slot. The staff is outstanding and responds to every request or need. We especially want to mention Gorgenia (apologies if we are not pronouncing the name correctly), who made sure we enjoyed our stay and was attentive to any need. When we return to Athens, we will definitely return to the same hotel.

The staff was amazing, friendly, and very helpful. They gave us so many great recommendations on things to do and restaurants to eat at. The included breakfast buffet on the roof made this entire hotel worth it. Great selection of food, and so many yummy cappuccinos. We were a little underwhelmed by the room size and comfort of the bed, but overall a great hotel in a great location.

Breakfast was very good, room and bath very clean, luxury linens, excellent professional staff, restaurants have outstanding creative food. Spa very nice. Quiet nights, school next door a bit noisy weekdays from 8 am. Furnishings need updating, especially bathroom vanity space is very small. Great closet and drawers in hallway built in . No bedside charging capability. No streaming from apps possible on tv. Need more English stations. Location very convenient.

My second time staying at Electra Palace and it was excellent! The breakfast is amazing and the service is great. They have a wide variety of options for breakfast including fresh squeezed juice and a full coffee bar. The rooms and bathrooms are outdated but the beds are very comfortable. The large balconies are large and a very nice touch. The views of the Acropolis are absolutely amazing and the property is in such a great area! I will definitely return to this property!

Excellent hotel, our first trip to Athens and the hotel made this trip perfect. Hotel was in a great location, a short walk from the main square, easy access to sites, shops and restaurants. Staff were great and very helpful. Hotel rooms and facilities were excellent. Breakfast was 5 star, great selection on the buffet, and the rooftop location gave the perfect view - a fantastic way to start the day. Thank you to all at the Electra Palace.
