  • Overall: Rating of 4.4 out of 5

    "A beautiful hotel, very conveniently situated for the Acropolis and the Plaka." source Skoosh

    "Stayed there in July 2009 and thought it was a great hotel: located in Plaka so very close to all the sites, rooftop pool with a Parthenon view is a nice touch." source Hotels.com

    "I would recommend this hotel without reservation and certainly hope we can stay there again the the future." source Travelocity

    "I would definitely recommend this hotel." source Skoosh

    "We did encounter some staff members who were polite and even cheery in a few cases, so I can't give them a blanket 'poor attitude' rating overall." source Hotels.com

  • Service: Rating of 4.5 out of 5

    "The room and service was very very nice." source Hotels.com

    "You get what you pay for, and this hotel had smart shiny public areas, well maintained rooms, quite large, but less service and the breakfast was less good than other 4 star hotels we have stayed in in the past." source Venere

    "Helpful staff speaks great English." source Expedia

    "The Roof Garden restaurant offers a splendid view of Acropolis together with the author cuisine and the friendliest service." source Venere

  • Location: Rating of 4.5 out of 5

    "This hotels is located in a good loation next to market places and the Acropolis and the new museum. All within walking distance to the above mentioned highlights." source Hotels.com

    "Our room was located at the front of the hotel and had a small balcony. The hotel was ideally located near to the plaka and its many shops restaurants and bars." source Venere

    "Our main disappointment was that the outdoor pool was no longer right at the top of the hotel and the seating area around it wasn't as spacious and well laid out. But still a great hotel, in a great location, where we'll probably stay again when we come to Athens." source Travelocity

    "Very convenient location (Plaka, Syntagma, Ermou, Kolonaki)." source Expedia

    "Although the hotel is in a perfect location near the Acropolis and Plaka, the "Acropolis View" room is actually in the "BACK" of the Acropolis." source Venere

  • Value: Rating of 5.0 out of 5

    "While the hotel is really a five star facility, it is a solid four star hotel and a great value." source Hotels.com

    "This hotel was more than we expected and well worth the price." source Travelocity

  • Room: Rating of 4.2 out of 5

    "We were celebrating our anniversary and they gave us a perfect room with a balcony that gave us a great view of the Acropolis. They had a bottle of wine and fruit in our room when we got back from sightseeing and also sent up breakfast to have in the morning because we were catching a very early flight out." source Venere

    "We paid extra for a Superior Room and had a breathtaking view of the Acropolis. The room was small but very comfortable and better than we had expected." source Travelocity

    "We paid for the least expensive room and were upgraded to a suite with balcony view of the acropolis." source Expedia

    "Travelling with two young children and hotel was accomodating by ensuring we had adjoining rooms." source Venere

    "You can't beat the Electra Palace for beauty, location, amenities and room size." source Venere
