Athens Electra Hotel

We just returned from Athens yesterday and miss it already. We booked the Electra Hotel and with the help from other tripadvisor reviews hit a homerun! The hotel is pretty, clean and location location location..... We were able to use the new Metro to go to and from the airport and it was easy and a bargain at 10 Euro for two people. We also walked to the corner (sytagama sq) and took the Metro to the Museum. The morning buffet breakfast was complete and the staff wonderful. When we asked about tours the front desk had all the info... more

This was a last minute trip, I booked at Athens airport without knowing anything regarding hotels in town. The hotel belongs to a Greek chain and it is very good. Newly renovated, well decorated, breakfast (excellent variety) included. Service is as it´s best. For a single traveller, you don´t need anything else. The size of the room is the usual in Europe...don´t expect rooms like in another continent. They are nice and clean, everything works perfect, with daily maid service, laundry available, bar, and all in all, everyone is much... more

We stayed at the Electra for the last 2 nights of our trip to Greece. As other reviewers have said, the location is excellent and convenient to most of the tourist spots in Athens. We had an adequate and comfortable room. Breakfast was buffet style (and we loved the orange juice machine) and was good. We would definitely stay there again.

I was a bit nervous about this hotel after seeing some of the reviews but was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the bathrooms was small but it was cause for lots of laughs. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioner worked well. The hotel was renovated for the Olympics and so everything was nice and clean. And then there's the location! Walking distance to absolutely everything and an easy metro ride to the airport. Take the metro! We took a taxi on the way back due to our early flight and the... more

The Athens Electra Hotel is a simple city hotel with few distinctive features. Its best attribute is the location. The hotel is directly across from Syntagma Square and the metro station. So it is an easy walk to get to the Plaka or the Acropolis. Piraeus port and the airport can be reached by metro (or the bus also goes from the airport to Syntagma Square). The hotel itself however was quite mediocre. Service was sufficient, but not nearly exceptional. The rooms were adequate (perhaps small) but not luxurious. Breakfast... more

This is a good hotel. The room was a little small, but that is to be expected in this part of Athens. It was good enough for us (2 people). The room was clean enough and the bathroom was quite nice. The front staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is next to a lot of shops and across the street from the Syntagma metro station. This is a good hotel for a day or two, but our room was too small to be comfortable for an extended stay. The included breakfast buffet was excellent and very tasty.
