Electra Hotel

great hotel!

location of the hotel is 100% perfect ( syntagma square) exactly downtown, walking distance to the parthenon, one block from metro station and walking distance to every atraction in athens. Is located in Ermou street, the main street of down town Athens. Breakfast outstanding. first time I can have fresh squezzed orange juice in a hotel.

Small room, smaller bathroom

I've heard that most rooms at the Electra are spacious, but some are small. We selected a "standard" size room with one bed, and were put in room 812, and it was apparently one of the small ones. But the worst was the bathroom - it was so small that you could barely close the bathroom door once you were inside the bathroom (and we're very thin people!). Other than that, we have no complaints. The room was very clean and well-kept, the hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and the location can't be beat! So maybe get a larger room, but it's a nice place to stay.

great location, nice room, great price

Hotel staff was very friendly. Greeted us right away, and although I speak a little Greek, they were more then comfortable speaking English. The room was a good size, clean and well taken care of. Closet area had plenty of room for both drawers and hanging items. Room had a refrigerator fully stocked, electronic safe and a flat screen which had HD channels. The hotel's location offers easy access to Plaka, Monastiraki, Syntagma Square, The Acropolis and other Athens must see hot spots. It also sits at the top of Ermou St. which is an outdoor mall/shopping area. My only complaint is tht the rooms are noisy. You can hear the room next to you but it wasn't too bad.

Great Location, Small Rooms

The staff is very helpful. The breakfast is delicious. The location is terrific. The rooms are very small. The mattresses are uncomfortable, not firm. The A/C is not strong.

Not cheapest, but unbeatable location

Our stay at the Hotel Electra was extremely comfortable. We were steps from Syntagma Square metro stop, right on Ermou (major shopping). The staff was helpful and polite. The breakfast was excellent, and included. The bed, lumpy. Major problem with the shower, as the handheld showerhead would rotate on its own under the power of the water pressure, causing a wet mess in the bathroom.
