3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

A nice Hotel in the center of Athens. But the room was very small, and internet access in the room is very expensive. Nevertheless for business meetings you are well located and also if you wish to have a quick tour of the center of Athens, which you should do as it is a wonderful city.

Benaki, Cycladic Art and Byzantine and Christian museums a short walk on the other side of Parliament Building. Also walked back about a half mile from the New... More

Very short but perfect stay at the Electra, perfectly situated at the center of Athens. Though the decoration is not exactly my style, the price for vaue is excellent and the staff is extremely friendly. Definitely a good place.

We booked this hotel with a certain thought in our mind since a lot of reviews are quite bad. We couldn't have made a better choice: the rooms were not tiny at all, the breakfast buffet was rich and delicious and the staff extremely helpful. They even helped me fixing my suitcase at the departure and taped it back together... More

Located in the best place in Athens. Few steps from the Parliament city square. Very nice rooms, clean and comfortable. Very good breakfast. Free Wi-Fi only in the loby area. Internet stations in the dining room and Wi-Fi in rooms - charged. Preaty good service. Recommended.

This hotel ia centrally located at Syntagma Square and a short walk to Plaka and Monasteraki. It is located near shopping and near many monuments. We easily took the metro to the Acropolis., a short ride away. The room was large, compared to many in Europe, and comfortable. The service was competent and quite helpful. At the price we paid,...

Good hotel, small rooms but clean and compact. Air conditioning is ok, not great but when we complained it definitely improved! Location is really convenient for Monastiraki and the Plaka, lots oh the usual high street shops and a couple of local stores. Taxis readily available outside. Staff helpful, will definitely return.

This hotel is in the heart of Athens. Walking distance to most of attractions, nice area to walk around. The hotel is located on a pedestrian street (Ermou) where you get many nice shops around and many nice cafes and restaurants. Police is everywhere so you feel very safe even at night. Many taxis are waiting around the corner and... More

A good, solid, 4-star hotel. Desk service was excellent. Check in was a breeze. They were expecting us, as our arrival was late in the evening. It was nice that they knew us as we walked in the door. The location was excellent. At the end of Ermou Street, a pedestrian shopping street. We were able to keep ourselves well... More

The only thing going for this hotel is the location. If you want to stay in the center of Athens this IS the center of Athens. The rooms are clean, but rather small. Even smaller are the bathrooms. The matrasses too soft for our taste. The air-condition was not working (but making a lot of noise). The staff is OK,... More
