I had an incredible stay at this hotel in Athens! The breathtaking views of the Acropolis from my suite and the rooftop restaurant were truly unforgettable. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly, providing great local tips. However, I did struggle with some noise disturbances at night, which made it tough to sleep. Overall, the hotel is an excellent choice for anyone visiting the city, despite the minor issues I faced.

The Electra Palace is perfectly situated in the heart of Plaka, making it easy to explore Athens on foot. The service stood out, with exceptionally welcoming staff. However, the dining experience had room for improvement, particularly during breakfast. The rooftop pool offered stunning views but was a bit cramped at times.
