8/10 Good
"We came in late and left early so didn’t really get to enjoy the hotel. Restaurant and patio/pool looked quite beautiful. Staff was great, 24hr service and valet. It’s a very large hotel. The room was newly renovated and very nice. Halls a bit beat up as a large/busy hotel will be. Not sure on location as we didn’t leave, but it’s certainly not as central as being in old town."

"There is a great buffet breakfast fresh squeezed orange juice every morning, and a great variety of items to choose from. The room and bathroom was very clean. There is a desk and chair and enough room to put our suitcase to carry ons and a backpack I thought it was a very good value for the price the location was a couple of blocks from the parliament building and just a few blocks from where there was lots of shopping and places to eat"

"Extremely convenient to the chaotic Athens Airport, it’s right across the street, this is an excellent hotel, the staff is fantastic the amenities are outstanding, my suggestions are that when you are leaving Greece, stay the day before here so it’s not so crazy the day you are actually flying out, this made life so much easier for us after a 2 week stay in Greece, absolutely a beautiful hotel and terrific food."

"Stayed at the Electra Palace with my two brothers and couldn’t have been happier. Great location. Lots and lots to see within walking distance. Both restaurants one on the ground floor one on the rooftop had some of the best food that we had all week and the rest of it was nothing to scoff at ! Every staff member we encountered were very professional and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place without hesitation."
