Pros:

The location was good and the hotel was beautiful. The beds were comfortable.

Cons:

The bedding in the room had other people's hair on it, which made me question whether they were clean or not.

Pros:

We have stayed at this hotel many times. We tend to alternate either Electra Metropolis as we like both these hotels. The location is great. The entrance and the bar very pleasant and the breakfast and restaurant also very good.

Cons:

Unfortunately this time there was a pervasive unpleasant smell both in the room and in many common areas possibly because of the renovation works going on.

Pros:

Хотела се намира в центъра на града, близо до Акропола. Около него има пешеходни улици с магазини и множесетво ресторанти. Ресторанта на хотела е добър, намира се на последният етаж и открива чудесна гледка към града и Акропола. Храната е вкусна. Като цяло са любезни. Леглото беше удобно и в стаята беше тихо.

Cons:

Ние бяхме в 420 - стаята е доста малка и гледката е към вътрешен двор и не става. Фитнесът е изключително малък и не може да се нарече точно фитнес. По скоро е колкото да се каже,че има фитнес(но пък става за бърза не претенциозна тренировка). Няма дори лост.. Бяха ни оставили стаята 1 път отворена, предполагам след чистенето. Налага се да си изискваш чехли... за хотел от този клас... някакси е неприемливо. Няма контакти до нощните шкафчета. Има само 1 нормален контакт над бюрото, така че ако искате двама души да си зареждате телефоните или ще трябва да се изчаквате или ще трябва да се завирате под бюрото да търсите контакти.
