Top Athens Hotel Reviews

Electra Metropolis Athens

8/10 Good

"# acknowledge Expedia VIP member with the benefits they are provided, I.e upgrades etc # door staff to acknowledge customers coming in and out of the hotel and not playing on their phone # consistency between Electra Metropolis and Palace regarding car park fees"

Astor Hotel Athens

8/10 Good

"Great location and wonderful team of staff. The front desk was very welcoming and helpful. The restaurant staff was also very friendly. I would have liked to have face/wash cloths in the bathroom, daily fresh bottled water in the room and a scaled back scent in the lobby. The scent while pleasant triggered coughing and congestion every time I walked through. Overall it was a most pleasant stay!"

Electra Palace Athens

10/10 Excellent

"The two employees Teo and Vasilis absolutely solidified this 5 star review. They were both incredibly helpful throughout our entire time at the hotel and always had us laughing. The rooms and pool were both clean. The free breakfast was your standard buffet. Again I would highly recommend this place for the staff they were all excellent."

Novotel Athenes
