U.S. News & World Report4.0
"For classic Greek decor, top-notch service and close proximity to many of central Athens' shops, restaurants and attractions, visitors recommend staying at the Electra Palace Athens." Full review

To avoid these issues, upgrade to a superior room or suite – which all have views of the Acropolis – on a higher floor.
