      "Extremely helpful reception desk" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 23, 2013

      I faced a serious problem with airlines on my way back home to India and had to stay back at Atalos hotel for a day. The help I received from the 3 Receptionists of the hotel can only be compared with your own family members. I will never forget Atalos.Moreover, easy location, Surrounded by eateries. Subway is like next door. Clean and comfortable. The only negetive issue was the same breakfast every day. They can improve it.

    The hotel was very nice and couldn't have been located in a better area. The price was very good for the quality of the hotel and for it's location. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is visiting Athens. But I would give a heads up that the front desk staff is not very friendly (still helpful but with an air of annoyance). It could be an Athens […] thing (that is the only hotel we stayed at in the city) but compared to other hotels in Greece they seemed annoyed to have to talk to me. The bell hops were very friendly. But I want to reiterate this is a great hotel. I was just mentioning the front desk staff so you did not take it personally if they seemed annoyed. : ) Read more

    This hotel was recently renovated. The furnishings are new and very comfortable, except for the bathroom door. The bathroom door is supposed to slide, but the one in our room was not aligned correctly and so was extremely heavy and difficult to move. The desk staff and breakfast servers were not particularly friendly, but they also were not rude. The […] breakfast room had great variety and was often refilled. The WiFi is free in the lobby, but you must ask for the passcode. There is also free WiFi in Syntagma Square, which is extremely close. This hotel is easily walkable to all of the major sites and restaurants, and the subway at Syntagma is convenient for both Piraeus Port and the Athens airport. I would definitely stay here again.

    This is a great hotel that has an excellent location in Athens. It can be a bit noisy because it is on one of the main shopping streets. Many tourists frequent this area.

    I stay at this hotel every year on my brief stay in Athens. Considering that it is VERY centrally located (1 block from Syntagma Square and walking distance to Zappeion, Plaka and the Acropolis) on a major pedestrian shopping street (Ermou), it's really hard to beat the price. The staff are courteous and the hotel is clean and reasonably well maintained. It […] is only 1 block from a major Metro station as well, so those needing to get to the airport can save themselves both hassle AND a decent chunk of change (5 euros as opposed to 35) over taking a taxi. Minor cons: the linens aren't particularly nice or comfortable, and the carpet in my room looked like it was long overdue for replacement. Also, I've found over the course of many stays that none of the rooms (in my own experience anyway) have any kind of view. Usually just some concrete wall. Some may find the rooms on the small side - if you're accustomed to American-sized hotel rooms. But they're really no smaller than many or most European hotels in that price range. I've paid twice as much for smaller rooms in Milan. That being said, the cons are more than compensated for by the pros: location, price, convenience, courteous staff. The rooms are also shockingly quiet given how the hotel is on the middle of everything. Read more

    Very efficient hotel with an excellent breakfast and free wifi in the public areas. The room was comfortable enough for my teenage daughter to spend all day inside sleeping, reading and avoiding the 100 degree heat outside. She was relaxing after a trip where we passed through Athens on our way to the islands before returning to spend three nights in […] Athens. The concierge at the Electra Hotel had graciously checked our one large suitcase, leaving us free to island-hop with our smaller bags. Our ferry was delayed and we arrived back in Athens at 2:00 in the morning; I needed my bag that night for an early-morning business meeting and it was quickly located. Read more

    Business class hotel that is right in the touristy part of Athens. Arrived late so wanted a hotel I could rely to make the initial days in Greece smoother after difficult logistics to get to Athens. Very easy to access via the metro from the airport. Breakfast was better than expected but as we spent little time in the room the higher price for this […] hotel is a judgement call verses others in the area. Read more

    After staying at many high and low end hotels in Athens, Electra is a good find. Great location, clean immaculate rooms, small but expected in Athens. Expensive mini bar and services so better off grabbing from outside. Full price is not worth it but at Expedia prices extremely good value. Left at 3 am for bus to airport (only 2 blocks away and 3 euros […] vs. 40 plus for a taxi) so did not sample the breakfast. They were willing to set out something early but we misunderstood and thought we were getting room service so we never saw what it was. Having to pay for wifi in room seems a rip off when almost all lower end hotels and most restaurants have it for free. At the right price would definitely return. Read more

    We spent three nights at this hotel at the beginning of our 3 week tour of Greece. Located in the heart of Athens next to Syntagma (Constitution) Square, We were within walking distance to practically all of the Old City. The Metro stop was about 100 yards from the hotel providing access to the airport and connections to the port city of Piraeus. The […] hotel itself offered fine service, including a more than adequate breakfast buffet. Only sore point was the ridiculously small bathroom (however the water pressure in the shower was amazing.) Expensive but more bang for your buck than most of the other hotels around the square. Read more

    I could not have picked a better location even if I had taken a tour of the area first... We took the Metro from the airport to Syntagma Square, and from there, we just had to cross the street to see the hotel. The staff was super helpful and friendly. They took several phone messages for me from my Greek family, helped us figure out the ultra-confusing […] KTEL(regional bus) schedules, and had a taxi ready for us whenever we requested. The breakfast buffet was delicious and the neighborhood was great for shopping and a short walk to great restaurants and the Acropolis. The only issue I had was that we requested a double room, and we saw 2 twin beds pushed together. I know this is a common practice in Athens, but was a little uncomfortable when I kept falling through the crack! I would definitely recommend, I would definitely stay there again... Read more

    The hotel is well located, just to Syndagma Square, close to the Government parliament. It is easy to reach the most know places of the city as the Plaka and Monasteraki disctricts, the Acropolis and Stadium. Be careful with the taxis. You need to negotiate with the driver for long trips. To the port do not pay more than EUR 10.

    Very convient to rail station to Airport. We arrived late from our flight and it seemed that the hotel was completely booked so were given not the best room in the hotel but it was clean and OK. However when we returned after our tour of the Greek Islands, the girl at the reception remembered us and gave us an upgrade to the Electra Palace a couple […] of blocks up the road, which was beautiful, to make up for the room we had been given on our first visit.

    We found the hotel's location ideal for what we wanted. The room was clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was also up to a very good standard. The only reservation is that there was not an electric iron and we could not get many channels on the TV.

    Excellent desk staff, very helpful and their level of English is very good. Well located on the shopping strip - Ermou Street and near Syntagma Square. Taxis can pull up outside the hotel upon request.
