    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. by a Hotels.com guest on 07/25/11

    When people say the rooms at the Electra are small, they really mean miniscule. It's essentially a holding cell for groups on their way to holiday cruises. But to stay in it more than one night can become quite claustrophic. Annoyingly, the Electra is one of those establishments that thinks it's a really good idea to charge stunningly high fees for […] access to the internet in your room During a five night stay, I paid the equivelent of all my broadband and phone calls for two months at home. And, when it's not particularly fast, ou've gotta' ask why? Breakfast is okay. Staff, fine. location good. Will look for someplace else when I next go to Athens. Read more

    Perfekt for kombination af forretning og fornøjelse. Hotellet ligger perfekt i forhold til transport rundt i byen, blot 2 min fra metrostation og taxiholdeplads på Syntagmapladsen. Samtidig er adressen yderst bekvem i fohold til kultur, shopping og kulinariske oplevelser, idet hotellet ligger på Ermou, Athens shopping gågade, og lige op ad den charmerende […] Plaka bydel for foden af Akropolis, med masser af restauranter og cafeer. Hotellet har pæne store og rene værelser, samt en fin morgenmadsbuffetrestarurant.. Read more

    Bel hôtel situé dans un quartier agréable. Les chambres sont propres et très confortables. Le personnel est très sympatique à l'arrivée, beaucoup moins lors du départ. En effet, le climat s'est très rapidement refroidi lorsque j'ai demandé des explications pour 10 mn d'appel téléphonique en France facturé 45 euros!! De plus, comme je devais partir tôt […] (avant 7H) je n'ai pas pu prendre le petit déjeuner qui m'a tout de même été facturé! L'hôtel est agréable mais je n'aime pas être pris pour un pigeon et je n'y retournerai pas. Read more
