Lonely Planet "Tucked in a side street off Ermou, this small, family-friendly hotel is a little characterless, but it is modern and comfortable, with good facilities and a very handy location." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The exterior of this hotel just off pedestrianized Ermoú is deceptively bland. Inside, earth-toned rooms with small balconies are matched by the colour scheme and stone dressing in the lobby."

"Most of the rooms are small, but they have balconies... a buffet breakfast is provided." Full review
Frommer's "This hotel's central location and reasonable prices may explain why it is often full...rooms 603–607 have good Acropolis views. Rooms in the new building, added in 2000, are more up-to-date." Full review

It’s worth paying extra for a suite.
Rough Guide "Right in the heart of Pláka, this luxurious hotel has excellent facilities, including indoor and rooftop pools, plus a gym and sauna."
Star Service "Located 400 meters from Syntagma Square and 800 meters from the Acropolis, this property overlooks a narrow street and is just around the corner from the city's oldest neighborhood." Full review

Not all Superiors have balconies so be sure to request one in advance.
Lonely Planet "Plaka’s smartest hotel is one for the romantics." Full review

The Telegraph7.0
"This five-star hotel in Athens is a peaceful base for visiting the city’s top attractions — it’s a five-minute walk to Syntagma Square and 15 minutes to the Acropolis." Full review
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.
