Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Electra Palace Athens is praised for its prime location, close to Plaka and offering easy access to many attractions. The Acropolis view from the rooftop restaurant, where a superb breakfast with Greek specialties and honeycombs is served, and from the pool area is a highlight for many guests. The rooms are spacious, though some have noted noise from air conditioning units facing the courtyard, and the hotel offers an outdoor Greek taverna-style restaurant that receives high marks for its food.
