Wondeful stay in Athens
Pros:

We highly recommend the Electra Palace. The location is perfect for visiting Athens, within easy walking distance to everything a first-time visitor would want to see (it's about a mile to the National Archeological Museum, but an easy level walk or quick cab ride and worth the effort). The hotel is lovely, with gracious and helpful staff and everything you would want in a hotel. We treated ourselves to a suite with a balcony with view of the Acropolis, and you also get that great view from their roof-top restaurant (where you get to enjoy an extensive breakfast buffet). If/when we return to Athens, we will absolutely stay here again.

Comfortable but not outstanding.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Price and description of the room. Supposed to face Acropolis. It has partial view. I consider this false claim.
