Good centrally located hotel
After reading some of the reviews, it was with a little trepidation that we arrived at the Electra. But we were actually very happy with it: The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the room was very clean, the bathroom modern and clean with everything working very well. Yes, the carpet in the bedroom was a little stained and could do with a good shampooing, but everything else was just fine, including the buffet breakfast, which offered a great choice of all kinds of fruit, yogurts, cereals, breads, freshly pressed orange juice, eggs, meats, cheeses, cakes, etc. And the location is great, just a few yards from Athens' central Syntagma Square, but not too noisy as the street the hotel is on is pedestrian. Would definitely stay there again. It's not high end luxury, but a good, comfortable mid-range hotel.

Good Location !
This hotel's location is very good. It is very near to the Metro station "Syntagma", center of Athens. You can walk to many places to sightseeing and shopping. The hotel was very quiet. But the bathroom was too small and hard to use. It was not the nicest, or the most luxurious hotel I've ever stayed at, but it was not bad for the money.

空港シャトルバスのバス停から近いので、スーツケースを持って移動するのに便利でした。アクロポリス等の観光名所にも徒歩圏内で立地が良かったです。朝食もおいしかったです。

シングルで2泊しました。立地と治安がいいというので泊まりまし
シングルで2泊しました。立地と治安がいいというので泊まりましたが、プラカ地区にも徒歩10分、空港行きバス停にも徒歩5分くらい(荷物にもよりますが)、と、ほんとにとても便利でした。バスルームが極端に狭いのですが、設備も調度品もいいので、安心感はあります。 スタッフのサービスがとてもよかったです。特にポーターの方がとても親切でした!!スーツケースの他に重い手荷物が沢山あったのですが、帰国するため空港行きのバス乗り場に一人で行こうとしたら、ポーターの方が台車で荷物を運んでくれました。そして、デモがあ たためバスが運休しているのがわかると、地下鉄の切符売り場まで同行してくれました。本当に助かりました!次回からは定宿にしようと思っています。

シンタグマ広場から延びるエルムー通りに面していて、立地は大変
シンタグマ広場から延びるエルムー通りに面していて、立地は大変良い。空港バスの発着場所から近く、スーツケースを持って歩ける距離にある。 ホテルの部屋は若干狭いが、ベッドや机など調度品に質の良い物が置かれている。 ロビーでは自分のパソコンをインターネットに接続(有料)できるが、客室内で接続できないことが不便であった。 プラカ地区の客引きに疲れて夕食をホテル内のレストランで摂ったが、とても美味しくて料金的にも非常にリーズナブルでした。大変満足のいくディナーでした。

hotel pas très bien insonorisé
hotel pas très bien insonorisé d'une chambre à l'autre. Nous avons eu des voisins très bruyants la dernière nuit. et à l'arrivée on nous avais donné une chambre fumeur, cela s'est arrangé car ils en ont trouvé une autre.

ホテルはかなり便利な場所にあると思うけれど、ホテル内の設備は
ホテルはかなり便利な場所にあると思うけれど、ホテル内の設備は古い感じがするし、サービスが取り立てて良いというわけでもない。シンタグマ周辺にはもっと安くて良いホテルは他にあると思う。
