Place ti be in Atenas
Pros:

Es el hotel al que ir equivalente al oarkers en Nápoles lujo decadente maravilloso vistas de ensueño y personal eficiente y profesional. Vistas maravillosas u ubicación inmejorable en lo más bonito del barrio de placa para ir andando o taxi rápido a todo y desde el hotel sin salir ver lo mejor de la acrópolis y el Partenón. Buen desayuno y estupendo restaurante con vistas y comida de calidad bien servida.

Cons:

Me gusta lo clásico decadente con personalidad como este hotel pero tiene inconveniente como pocos enchufes y algo solucionable las almohadas son duras y enormes incómodisimas

Highly recommended in Athens
Pros:

Fantastic location. Near so many of the most important site seeing spots in Athens (and I mean walking distance). Quiet and comfortable rooms and beds. Excellent water pressure in shower. Breakfast was lovely with a view practically to die for with matching service. The pool was a wonderful add on - and it is filled with salt water so no yucky chlorine smell.

Great hotel with magnificent views!
Pros:

Had a lovely stay at Electra Palace. We really loved the room (we had a garden view) which was comfortable, quiet, and had a roomy bathroom. The staff was top notch. Everyone was very welcoming and bent over backwards to help us. We booked a tour through the hotel and that was very comforting that we could ask the front desk about meeting points, etc. They were also great about booking transportation and making recommendations for us for dinners. My favorite part was the Acropolis view from the restaurant and the pool. It was lovely eating my breakfast looking right at the Acropolis!

Love this hotel!
Pros:

We loved our stay at Electra Palace, one of our rooms was beautifully renovated and the rooftop restaurant for dinner is a must. The breakfast was delicious with incredible views of the Acropolis and all of Athens. The atmosphere was upscale and very relaxing. The service and location was was excellent, you are walking distance to all the great restaurants, shops and the acropolis. We would absolutely stay there again.

Perfect hotel for first visit to Athens
Pros:

Amazing hotel, brilliant location in Plakka and with spectacular views of the Acropolis and surrounding area. The breakfasts were a highlight, served in their rooftop restaurant with an incredible selection of delicious, fresh food so worth including this in your room booking. The pool and bar on the roof were a welcome relief after walking the city during summer. There is also a bar and courtyard on the ground floor which looked lovely. The staff were so friendly and incredibly helpful. The hotel is in the centre of a wonderful area in Athens (but very touristy so suggest going off the main streets to avoid the crowds). Avoid the tourist traps and try one of the many local restaurants in the surrounding neighbourhood. If I return to Athens I will definitely stay here again, loved it.

Cons:

Our room was small for the price. Although the views in the rooftop restaurant are spectacular, especially at night, the food is just ok and very expensive. I guess you're paying for that very unique view.
