"Electra Metropolis is a very solid choice in Athens, and I would stay here again, primarily for its excellent location.
The hotel is perfectly positioned in Syntagma, making it incredibly easy to walk to most major sites, restaurants, and shopping areas. For a short city break, this level of convenience is hard to beat, and the area also felt very safe, even in the evenings.
The room itself was on the smaller side but well designed and functional. Cleanliness was excellent throughout the stay, housekeeping and turndown service were consistently on point, which made a noticeable difference. The bed was comfortable, although the pillows were synthetic, which may not suit everyone.
One of the highlights is breakfast. The rooftop setting with views of the Acropolis is genuinely special, and the food selection was good with attentive service. It’s a great way to start the day before heading out.
Service across the hotel was friendly and efficient, with staff generally helpful and welcoming.
Facilities are decent. The gym is located in the basement and is on the smaller side, but sufficient for a quick workout.
Very good experience and highly recommended. "
