Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Electra Palace Athens from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Electra Palace Athens enjoys a fabulous location in the Plaka district, within walking distance of the Acropolis and the main shopping area. Guests consistently praise the rooftop pool offering amazing views of the Acropolis, also enjoyed from the 8th-floor restaurant during breakfast. The rooms are spacious, some comfortably sleeping three or four people, with comfortable beds; however, a few guests have noted the decor leans towards a more traditional style. Air conditioning works perfectly, and the hotel also offers an outdoor pool and spa.

I found the rooftop pool to be fantastic. The view of the Parthenon from there was just PERFECT. Breakfast had a great view. It enhanced the meal so much!!! The staff was also friendly and efficient.
I noticed our mini fridge wasn't refilled. We ran out of coffee and cream on the second day. That was a disappointment. I did expect better.

Solid Choice, Great Breakfast

rooftop viewfrequent housekeeping
The rooftop view at breakfast impressed me. I saw the Acropolis during my meal. Housekeeping came often. They cleaned the room three times daily. It was quiet.
I did not like that the gym felt small. I saw people smoking on the restaurant terrace. This bothered me.
