Electra Hotel Athens

“Cocktails while the sun setson the acropolis”

The hotel is right downtown, walkable to anyplace. The rooms are small but nicely appointed. The staff is professional and friendly.

We went for a drink in the Leonides rooftop bar to take in the sunset and the view of the acropolis. Stunning! We sipped a recommended cocktail made by Anthony S. Wow! I didn’t realize how long it had been since I’ve had a really great cocktail! Excellent!

“Giving heart”

VIEW! Location, atmosphere, friendly and excellent service from Anna, Eva, Costas and Ncos.

“Great location”

Great location, close to most attractions and amenities. The reception staff were friendly, but some of the women working in the breakfast area could have benefited from a customer service or hospitality course. They seemed unhappy to have guests there. This did not apply to everyone, however. One important thing to keep in mind is that the rooms are not very well soundproofed. This is especially noticeable if there is a connecting door between rooms. We had one, and we could hear everything our neighbors were saying at a normal speaking volume. Housekeeping also starts making noise in the hallways as early as 8:00 AM, which makes it difficult to sleep in. Other than that, the hotel is clean, well-maintained, and the rooms are nice. The breakfast is decent, although the selection is not particularly extensive. The staff come around and pour juice and water at the table, but only fill the glasses a little over halfway each time, which can be somewhat annoying. It would be more convenient if guests could serve themselves, as is common at most other hotels.

“Fabulous location, clean hotel with comfy beds but lacking in some areas!”

Some positives...namely the wonderful location of this hotel on Ermou Street in the heart of Athens. Also a very clean hotel with lovely decor and the breakfast buffet was adequate.

Some positives...namely the wonderful location of this hotel on Ermou Street in the heart of Athens. Also a very clean hotel with lovely decor and the breakfast buffet was adequate. Also comfy beds and no noise heard from our room, though we were at the back of the hotel with no view. This isn't a cheap hotel so my review is based on that, and the fact it's a 4 star hotel. The positives I have mentioned are ones that you can easily experience in a 3 star hotel. So what makes this hotel that bit more special...? Well, I'm not really sure. Other than the location we found certain aspects rather underwhelming. In particular the hanging space which was, quite frankly, pathetic. If you are going to stay at this hotel you won't find a wardrobe in the smaller double rooms and will need to bring your own coat hangers as otherwise you will have to live out of your suitcase. Also the lighting is very confusing, as the switches are difficult to navigate. The bathroom is tiny with just a sliding door offering little privacy. The room was very clean however and shower gel, shampoo and conditioner were supplied. However there was nowhere to hang any towels. Bath robes were provided but there was nowhere to hang them! The view from the rooftop bar is beautiful, especially with the Acropolis as a backdrop. We went up there one evening for a drink before going out for dinner. However, after waiting an hour to be served our drinks we got up and left feeling disappointed by the abysmal service. The staff here are pleasant but aloof. I wouldn't choose to stay here again. I feel I could pay less for better service...and a wardrobe to hang clothes.
