Electra Palace Hotel

The staff at the Hotel Electra Palace were fabulous after our long excusion to Greece. The hotel was very clean and had great facilities. Our room had a view of the acropolis. We were only one block from the placa and several wonderful shops and restaurants.

Was very disappointed with this hotel. Certainly not worthy of 5 stars. Staff very nasty and unhelpful. The breakfast was not spectacular for a 5-star establishment and the breakfast waiters indifferent and unhelpful. We paid for a superior room with Acropolis View and were given a cupboard under the stairs on 2nd Floor with scaffolding outside. When we complained we received a very hostile reception but a better room albeit still on 2nd floor so you would have to be a giraffe with a vast imagination to be able to see the Acropolis from... more

My husband and I spent one week at the Electra Palace for our 1 year anniversary and found the place to be perfect. I had read some negative reviews before our trip, but were pleasantly surprised to find the accomodation were spacious, clean and well appointed with wood floors, paneled ceilings and granite bathrooms.

Just returned from a five-night stay at the Golden Tulip Electra Palace hotel and have nothing but wonderful things to stay.

The location is perfect - maybe a block in either direction to the main part of the Plaka with shopping and restaurants. There is a wonderful taverna on the corner, just steps from the hotel, with the best food we had in Athens and very affordable. The staff has been nothing but lovely and accommodating. I needed a last-minute... more

We just got back from Athens, we stayed three nights at the Electra Palace. I got a room on the 7th floor, looking back (I did not request a room with a view). The Hotel public area is very nice, and the room was adequate size for an european hotel, with the necessary amenities. The location is superb, the personnel very professional. However, aparently the water pumps do not meet the demand of hot water in the morning. The first time the water lost pressure and turned frigid I thought I had hit the lever and turned it accidentally.... more
