Electra Metropolis

This is a great property with modern amenities and a lot of services making for an overall high class experience. For context, this was our second trip to Athen's, the first being a quick day long visit via a Mediterranean cruise two years ago. This second visit was the third part of our vacation having started with three days in Venice followed by a nine day cruise through Greece, Turkey, Croatia, and Montenegro. We spent 4 days at this property and as it turned out, this Hotel was a perfect staging area for touring the city and the rest of Greece. My wife and I take a major trip every two years and when we plan them, we pay very close attention to customer experience reviews. This hotel came very well recommended and those reviews were spot-on. We chose it for its location at the edge of the Plaka neighborhood, it's modernity, the available pool and spa, and the views from both the 10th floor restaurant and some of the available rooms. The amazing views of the Acropolis will forever be burned in my memory! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the room service and early morning checkout experiences were highlights. The property is considered a major hotel so all the private tours we booked through Viator all had convenient pickup in the lobby. We also booked private airport and cruise port transfers directly through the Hotel which was extremely convenient. Don't hesitate to book this hotel as you will not be disappointed!

Rooftop restaurant was great for.both breakfast and cocktails in the evening with.great views of the Acropolis. Great location.

The rooftop restaurant with the Acropolis view - never tired of it.

Room was comfortable and clean. Room service did two visits a day to check on items provided. Beds were comfortable and the chair and desk were also good. Shower was excellent (large rain shower head, plus hand head) although had a bit of room flooding when we used it. Little touches, like leaving a chocolate during turn down service were lovely. We were there over New Years Eve and the hotel left a traditional greek new years cake for us to enjoy, and a small locally made ornament to celebrate the holiday. It was a veery thoughtful touch that added to the pleasure of the stay. The lobby area was clean and beautifully decorated. I enjoyed a coffee in the cafe area. The absolute highlight was the breakfast buffet. The restaurant area has the most spectacular view of The Acropolis. The buffet was fresh, with lots of variety including local and international ingredients. The hotel was located within a 15 minute walk of the Acropolis museum and well situated for shopping and site seeing. I didn't book a room with a view, so was looking out over a narrow street, but still had some regional view.

Excellent breakfast, delicious and with a variety of choices. The view of the Acropolis from the hotel restaurant is breathtaking. The location is really good, within a walking distance from all the main sites. The staff was helpful and very friendly. Highly recommend.
