My wife and I had an outstanding stay at the Electra Metropolis hotel. What a wonderful place to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary. The staff were exceptional, from the front desk, to breakfast, to every person we came into contact with were so nice, professional, courteous, and extremely helpful. Our room was large, beautiful, and nicely equipped. The lighting in the room was awesome as well. Housekeeping did an outstanding job each day. The hotel brought us some goodies on our first day to help celebrate our Anniversary. This was such nice touch and it was greatly appreciated. Breakfast was excellent as well, with a spectacular view of the Acropolis. The common areas of the hotel were kept so clean, and beautiful. It was so nice just sitting in the lobby and drinking the cold water they had out. We also loved the location of the hotel, being so close to everything. We highly recommend this hotel, and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Stayed here for 3 nights in a suite. We were booked to stay somewhere else double the price but changed at the last minute as we thought we would be out of the room so much it didn’t make sense.|So glad we did, we thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. Service is exemplary, lady at reception was incredibly friendly and professional which is always a great start. Room was big, modern and had absolutely everything you would need. Lovely welcome drinks and cakes in the room. Great toiletries, comp water, coffee machine, iron etc etc. Location is spot on. |Breakfast is buffet, but very good quality, missing some fizz though. Gym was small but adequate. Roof top pool is lovely and we always managed to get a lounger.|We had lunch in the restaurant best Greek salad we had all holiday.. and that’s saying something. We had dinner also and again food and service were standout.|The view of the Acropolis from the pool and restaurant is just magical, a real wow moment, we felt very spoilt. Would highly recommend and return.|Just 1 piece of feedback, when we arrived lugging our cases, the team outside watched us and pointed to the ramp. We did expect help with the cases, just a small thing.

We just checked out after 8 days and from the moment we arrived at Electra Metropolis until the day we left, our stay was nothing short of exceptional. I was travelling solo with my baby, so choosing the right hotel was incredibly important, and the entire team made us feel so welcomed, cared for and at ease. A special thank you to George, who greeted and farewelled us so warmly and was always there to help, as well as the wonderful reception team, the housekeeping staff, and Illias, the F&B Director, who was so warm and kind and gave such a great energy up at the restaurant and ensured every breakfast was a fantastic experience. Every member of staff was genuinely kind, attentive, and friendly. It never felt forced—you could truly feel that they cared about their guests, which made all the difference. The location is absolutely perfect, within easy walking distance of Athens’ main attractions, shops, and restaurants. Our room was spacious, modern, immaculate, and very comfortable, making it ideal when travelling with a baby. Breakfast each morning was outstanding, with an incredible variety of high-quality food to suit every taste. The team even remembered my usual order, which was such a thoughtful touch. Enjoying breakfast with the spectacular views over Athens and the Acropolis was the perfect way to start each day. The rooftop pool is another wonderful feature—beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and the perfect place to relax after exploring the city. I cannot recommend Electra Metropolis highly enough. The combination of exceptional service, genuine hospitality, beautiful facilities, and an unbeatable location made this one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had. It will absolutely be my hotel of choice every time we visit Athens, and I can’t wait to return.

Chose this hotel! Not only is this all about the best central location (perfectly placed within walking distance to lovely local shops and dining options amid the quaint streets of Athens...you are a mere stroll away from the renowned Plaka area and right at the foot of the acropolis). The hotel offers very nice, spacious and upscale/comfortable rooms without the loud traffic or larger buses. The staff provides excellent service...and I mean excellent from the front desk to dining...the maid service is on it as well. To top it all off, while enjoying your breakfast buffet (worth the price to include) with a large assortment of cooked items in chafing dishes, plus great fresh fruit and local breads or pastry....but the view of the acropolis from the rooftop (be it day or night) is spectacular! You will not be disappointed by the view as you enjoy a dip in the pool or while dining or enjoying great greek wine. I highly recommend starting or ending your trip in this hotel. PS - We did a walking guided tour of the Acropolis that was great (again within walking distance), an amazing Tuk Tuk tour that gave us a much bigger view of the city and great historical information. In addition to our plans, the hotel even helped us quickly squeeze in a Food Tour the day we arrived ...we sincerely felt we got an authentic feel (and taste) of Athens! Top marks to all and we highly recommend this hotel and these activities! Hope this helps you with your trip because as much as I read reviews...figured it was time I offered one as well!. Enjoy!
