Happy to return next time in Athens!
Pros:

Perfectly located hotel close by the acropolis - staff were all so lovely and helpful. Breakfast with the most stunning views from roof top terrace was a memory to take home with us.

Great location
Pros:

Staff were absolutely lovely and the hotel is in a perfect location! Great breakfast too!

Cons:

Incredibly expensive (just short of €700) for a one night stay and the balcony looked nothing like the photos on booking. We had requested twin beds (showing as available for the room type hence making the decision to book here) when booking months ago which, when I enquired about after first seeing our room, was told were in fact not available. Overall a lovely stay due to location, staff and great breakfast, but there are better room options elsewhere for a lower price tag.

Location is great, staff was very accommodating!
Pros:

They have a great breakfast and the view from the rooftop restaurant is awesome!

Cons:

They put my wife and I in twin beds rather than a queen and we could clearly hear conversations in the rooms on either side ad the phone in this room did not work either...

Pros:

Konumu mükemmel, asla araba gerekmiyor. Otelin kahvaltı salonu Akropolis manzaralı ve kahvaltı harika, ufak da olsa bir havuz var, şehirde gün boyu gezdikten sonra soluklanmak için çok iyi geldi bizim cocuklara, ayrıca tesis sabah 10.30da gittiğimiz halde bize boş oda verdi, çok yardımcı personelleri var.

Cons:

Klasik Odalar biraz küçük

Hotel lindo, confortável e com excelentes localização e vista
Pros:

Localização excelente, a poucos minutos da Acrópole, Ágora antiga, Praça Syntagma; muitas lojas e restaurantes na região, embora o hotel em si fique numa rua tranquila. Nosso quarto era muito confortável, com vista para a Acrópole - que também é vista do restaurante onde é servido o café da manhã e da piscina. Incrível; impagável tomar café e relaxar com essa vista. A equipe era extremamente atenciosa, e, no check out, como iríamos embora muito cedo (antes do horário de café da manhã), prepararam lunchboxes para levarmos, com sanduíche e frutas.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Electra Palace, I would definitely recommend it and would happily stay here again if I
Pros:

We were met out the front by staff who took all our luggage inside, check in was easy and they organised a breakfast box as we had an early tour the following morning. Staff took our baggage up to our room via the lift. The shower was great, good temperature and water pressure plus a non slip mat was provided. The aircon in the room was also good. The view of the Acropolis from the pool was amazing. The hotel is walking distance from Plaka and a short taxi ride to the Acropolis.

Cons:

Nothing

Location is great; steps to restaurants and shops. The breakfast provided was very good and the views from the breakfast restaurant were amazing. I would definitely stay at the Electra Palace again!

There were way too many children to call this a romantic spot.
