We were there for a total of 9 nights, the last of which was 10-16 Sep. Room 807 and 3-6 Sep 809.
Amazing location . Check in staff was exemplary Aggeliki perfect face of Electra, warm and welcoming. Breakfast was everything and more service at the breakfast buffet was spot on Costi looked after our Greek coffee every morning.

So far this has been a horrible experience. We have been traveling for over 27hrs., was not picked up by the private transport service so we had to spend 165 euros to travel from the airport to the hotel. This is NOT the hotel's fault. However, when we finally arrived at the hotel to check in @11am we are told that rooms are not ready until 3pm!!! We were forced to sit around in their lobby until then. Yet sitting in the lobby I witnessed at least 3 other guests who had just arrived after us, checked in and were quickly given their rooms. I expect better service and more consideration from the staff than we original received. While waiting I quickly wrote a review about the experience, which I received a prompt response from the guest relation person. The guest relation person, stated that the other guest were "prebooked" and that their policy as well as ALL the other hotels in the area have a strict 3pm check in policy. Really? Update: when checking out we asked the on duty clerk about this "prebooking" service that guest relations person had talked about in her response and we were told that they had no knowledge of it nor did they ever hear about it, yet they couldn't offer any explanation as to why other guests were allowed to chk in before us prior to their 3pm chk in policy! Also per Google and other sources, the industry standard world wide for hotels and turning a room over should be between 20 to 30mins tops. Why it took them 3.5hrs is unexplainable by the guest relation person, unless of course they have an anti-American policy to go along with their other nonsense policies. Shameful and ridiculous. In addition, the guest relation person failed to address this point as to why they dont fall under normal hotel industry policy of turning over rooms. This is certainly NOT a 4 star rated hotel, and its very far from it. That's what we are going to report back to our travel agent so she can find better accommodations to future clients. Update: We returned to this hotel (no choice) after our 9 day cruise. We arrived at 1030am., and this time I had my wife who is Latin (doesn't look anything like a typical American, and we stayed outside) go up to the front desk and check us in and to our amazement she was quickly provided with our two rooms. Really!!! What happened to this steadfast unbroken rule of a 3pm check in? 2days later when we finally checked out at 7am, we were treated very respectful and professional. I felt that the hotel was trying to redeem themselves by going the extra mile. But you know what they say, first impression is the one that always tends to stick, so in that case they failed. The guest relations person continues to defend their so called steadfast 3pm policy. As a frequent traveler for over 34yrs both domestic and international, I am very aware of the standard check in policy that the majority of hotels have, but never have I had to wait 3.5hrs for a hotel room to be turned over by the staff. Especially when the hotel staff knows the customer has been traveling for over 27hrs., and is waiting in their lobby!!!. The other point I would like to make is the recent statement from the guest relations person regarding that they don't use Google etc.. to change their procedures (or something to that effect), well you better, because in this day and age that's what the majority of people are using to make their choices on where to stay and if your staff cant managed to turn a simple room in 30mins., then you are just failing as a hotel and you should start hiring a better housekeeping staff. The fact that your little hotel has been in business since 1965 is amazing in itself and reading some of the complaints that I found on Social Media you really should start thinking about changing some things. The fact that you boast about having a 4 to 5 Star rating just tells me that a lot of these over the top reviews are perhaps suspect, false, made up by you, your own employees and/or their family members.

Very good location, service
The bathroom is a bit old

The cleaning of the room is not very detailed, some small places are...

Only one bottle of water is given, and it is the same for two days. Only 1L is given when checking in

It is good that there is no bathtub on the 9th floor, but there is a bathtub on the 4th floor

Prior to booking, I checked the reviews to Electra and found many unsatisfactory reviews. After having stayed there for 6 nights, I can leave this review and say that this hotel deserves 5 stars!
The staff were accommodating and friendly from beginning to end, helping me and my family navigate the city and even offering us complimentary to-go breakfast on our last day because out flight left earlier than the breakfast time.
Speaking of breakfast, it was divine!!! I looked forward to it every single morning, the coffee bar was great and the staff was wonderful.
The location of the hotel could not be any better, and overall, I will definitely stay here and recommend it to anyone that asks.

Small, but clean and quiet room. Helpful desk staff, Good breakfast with a great view of acropolis.
Less than 5 minute walk to metro station. Easy access to hop on, hop off busses.
Plenty of dining and shopping options in area.
21.08.2024
Satisfied with the service, clean with good public amenities. Room clean and well equipped. Overall good value for price.
30.07.2024
The room is very outdated and small for three people, especially the toilet. The sliding door of toilet is not working properly and we could hardly open. Yet, the location is very convenient and within ten minutes walking distance to Syntagma metro station.

Good choice in a great location close to many restaurant s and bar...nice rooftop
19.06.2024
Great location for walking, good food, beautiful view of the acropolis from the restaurant. Spacious suite, comfortable bed, and good air conditioning. The only thing to keep in mind, is it is on a busy street, so there is a lot of noise, especially on the weekends. But would stay again.

The staff was very nice and accommodating. My only complaint is that after traveling all night and day to arrive we were woken at 10:30 PM to give us a gift from our travel agent. It was a little jarring to be sound asleep and have some one call and then insist on bringing a tray of dessert and a bottle of wine into the room. Earlier in the evening would have been much preferred.
