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.

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 The rooms and bathrooms are outdated but the beds are very comfortable.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!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Electra Palace. The hotel was beautiful - I don't think the photos do it justice. All of the staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly and attentive. The view of the Acropolis from the restaurant and rooftop pool/bar were spectacular, and if you stay here, you should definitely book dinner in their rooftop restaurant - genuinely one of the best meals I've had! Loved every moment of staying here, and can't wait to come back!
