Konforlu, tertemiz, güler yüzlü hizmet, üstelik de hem sessiz hem de merkezi konumda!!!
Pros:

Tüm çalışanlar güler yüzlü, naziklerdi. Otelin konumu şehrin arkeolojik alanlarına yakın ama gürültüden uzak bir konumdaydı.

Cons:

Odama ulaştığımda erkenden hazir olması harikaydı! Ama verilen anahtar ışıkları açmadı ve kasa calismiyordu. (Benden önceki misafir pilleri sokup götürmüş. Kontrol edilmemiş. Bu nedenle ben odaya girdiğimde kasa calismiyordu ama kısa sürede çalışır hale getirdiler.

Spectacular location & views
Pros:

The location. The comfort & cleanliness of the room. Pleasant staff.

Cons:

Did not realise about the do not disturb button until half way through our stay which led us to having to wait 5-10 minutes while staff cleaned our room.
We are not fans of continental breakfasts & we found the breakfasts here uninspiring.

I loved Athens and the Electra Palace was a great base for our stay
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location, with all the main tourist sites within an easy walking distance. The staff were friendly and really helpful with suggestions for instance where to buy the best baklava! The view of the Acropolis from the restaurant and the outside pool is amazing and we even braved a swim which was a little chilly, but the outside pool had only just opened for the season.
