Esperienza positiva. Un hotel in cui ritornerei sicuramente!
Pros:

Ho soggiornato per una settimana in questa struttura.
Nel complesso l'hotel ha soddisfatto le mie aspettative...
Le cose migliori (secondo il mio punto di vista) sono:
- la spettacolare sala all'ultimo piano (in cui s fa colazione) con ampie vetrate e vista sul Partenone; c'è anche una terrazza esterna, ma nelle mattine di febbraio solo in pochi si arrischiavano a fare colazione all'aperto;
- il personale cordiale, simpatico, disponibile e professionale; mi sono sempre stati d'aiuto in alcune piccole questioni e ho potuto fare qualche chiacchierata simpatica;
- la posizione dell'albergo: si trova nel quartiere di Plaka, ma non nell'area dei negozietti e dei ristoranti, per cui di notte non ho riscontrato rumori fastidiosi dall'esterno (devo precisare che la mia stanza si trovava al settimo piano); se si ha voglia di camminare un po', dall'hotel si arriva quasi dappertutto a piedi;
- buon rapporto qualità/prezzo; tutto è andato liscio e non posso lamentarmi proprio di nulla.

Cons:

La camera era un po' angusta. Sapevo che cosa mi aspettava, perché avevo visto la metratura e le foto su Booking. Forse, però, con qualche accorgimento si potrebbe rendere un po' più agevole questa tipologia di stanze. In ogni modo non posso dire che non mi è piaciuta; diciamo che era ok.

Pros:

The indoor pool was super relaxing. The breakfast was delicious with fresh squeezed orange juice and an amazing view! But what really made this hotel stand out was the incredible service. They were so nice to us and especially to my 4 year old son :) thank you for everything!

Ensiluokkainen siisti hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla.
Pros:

Aamiainen oli loistava, sekä terveellisiä ruokia että herkkuja.
Siisteys oli ensiluokkaista, huoneesta ja parvekkeelta pyyhittiin päivittäin pintoja.
Hotellin ravintolat olivat myös hyvät.

I recommend this hotel, the location is excellent and the staff are warm and welcoming.
Pros:

The Electra Palace Athens is in an excellent location. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is unhurried with a good choice of food options. The indoor pool is small and booking is required. The hotel is clean, our room was serviced daily and fresh towels supplied as required. There is an a view of the Acropolis from the roof top bar and restaurant.

Nice place to stay for a visit to Athens.
Pros:

The location was fantastic. It was walking distance to many attractions that we wanted to see. We also quite enjoyed the breakfast; the food selection was good, and the staff was attentive.
