ELECTRA METROPOLIS ATHENS

Comfortable and clean rooms, great service, the staff does everything they can, perfect breakfast, Central location, easy access to everywhere the spa is the worst, entrance limit to , 9 people, this ruined the experience for us, it's a shame because the hotel is excellent

The Electra Metropolis Athens is an excellent choice for a centrally located hotel with nice appointments and amazing views of the Acropolis. The restaurant serves an amazing breakfast with brewed coffee and espresso drinks, not the ubiquitous Nespresso maker I've found at a lot of European breakfast bars (don't get me wrong they're great in the room, but I want fresh coffee in the restaurant). While we didn't eat dinner at the hotel, it looked very good and the bartenders were top notch - I didn't say we didn't drink there. The fitness center, pool and steam room require a reservation because they are rather small, but I didn't have any problem getting a workout in. No issues with the room at all. It was modern, clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed. Ours had a balcony with beautiful view of the Acropolis at night, which was worth the extra for us. The Plaka and historical attractions are nearby, and our concierge set us up with a guided tour with a very nice local guide (she told us all about the little church right in front of the hotel, which was used to smuggle guns during the 1821 Greek revolution!). Thank you Aggelo and Andromachi!

A very luxury hotel, the staff is amazing The location is perfect, breakfast delicious with a view. The hotel is in the center, everything is within walking distance. the breakfast there is a large selection the hotel staff members are super kind, its add sense of feeling in the home

Hi everyone, Last week we returned from our second stay at this lovely hotel! We booked again a Superior Double Room with the little balcony (room 803) , This type of room is large and spacious. I highly recommend it. This hotel is in the best location you can find, on a street parallel to the Ermou shopping street. Everything is within walking distance- the Plaka, Psyri,Syntagma square, Monastiraki square. The hotel is at a high level in terms of service and cleanliness, even in the evening, the housekeeping knocked on our door and asked if we needed anything. At breakfast (on the roof ) there is a large selection and it is possible to request a certain omlette from the kitchen ,which was nice. The staff at breakfast is great and always with a smile and a desire to serve. And of course the amazing view from the hotel roof that is accessible to all hotel guests is a huge bonus! Another plus in my eyes, is the feeling that there are hotel staff members who are always outside the hotel welcoming the guests. It adds a sense of security. And my last and most important thank is for Athina Balatsou - Guest Relations Manager, who responded to all my emails before I arrived, always with patience and kindness, thank you for that my friend. So in conclusion, choose this hotel, yes, it is expensive compared to others, but the hotel is definitely worth what you pay for. Have a nice vacation! Ms Meital Zofy ISRAEL

I’ve stayed at the Electra Metropolis and the experience was good and bad. For me, the pros outweigh the cons, however; Pros: Great location near the shopping street (Ermou) which is the next block Close to Plaka with many restaurants etc. Modern and clean hotel Great views of the Parthenon/Acropolis at the rooftop restaurant Wonderful buffet breakfast with unlimited options Cons: Average size rooftop pool which gets quite busy during peak summer so there aren’t enough seats or loungers to go around Lack of shade by the pool. The temps in Summer can sometimes reach 40 degrees and it amazes me there aren’t umbrellas or shade by the pool in this day and age with sun exposure and skin cancer Due to this, I most likely won’t stay at the Electra Metropolis again. I’d probably choose the new Dolli hotel or Athens Capital MGallery hotel near Syntagma.
