The room was comfortable. The common spaces were super hot, felt like there was no air on. The pool needs to be updated. The covers on the loungers for shade are all torn. There’s paint all over the glass when looking out from the pool. The service was super slow. Bar looks old. Everything needs a paint job and some updating. For the price I would stay somewhere else.

I stayed only one night and was surprised by the quality of the room. Panoramic view of historic acids, the acropolis, the forum and happen to be on the fourth floor, where the swimming pool was with nice lounge. Very close to the major shopping areas. Good rooftop restaurant and bar. Spectacular breakfast layout on the rooftop restaurant.I would certainly go back to this hotel.

This is my third visit to the Electra Palace, and I’ve always loved this hotel. However, I was a bit disappointed to find myself in suite 701, which didn’t match the quality of the other suites we’ve previously enjoyed. Thankfully, Sofia was incredibly accommodating and relocated us to suite 601. While it was an improvement, it was still close to the elevator, which made it a bit noisy. Additionally, unlike our earlier stays, we didn’t receive a nightly turndown service or even a small gift, which is something I've come to appreciate as a loyal guest. I really hope to experience a nicer room and improved service on my next visit.

Room is a bit dated but well kept and clean. Breakfast is very good and the view from the rooftop is fantastic. There is no chef to make to order (like omlette) but whatever is there is very delicously, and there are lots to choose from. We usually stuff ourselves in the morning and forgo lunch.
