We loved our stay at the Electra Palace. The staff were super friendly and kind, plus they had a very helpful concierge. The included breakfast buffet is in the panoramic view restaurant and had dead on views of the acropolis. The indoor and outdoor pools were both infinities and super relaxing. Highly recommend!

The room was comfortable. The common spaces were super hot, felt like there was no air on. The pool needs to be updated. The covers on the loungers for shade are all torn. There’s paint all over the glass when looking out from the pool. The service was super slow. Bar looks old. Everything needs a paint job and some updating. For the price I would stay somewhere else.
