What guests think

Electra Metropolis draws rave reviews for its central, walkable location and spectacular rooftop views of the Acropolis, offering easy access to Athens landmarks, shopping and dining, plus a memorable skyline backdrop from the hotel’s terrace.

Service is frequently described as warm, efficient and accommodating, with helpful concierge support and smooth early check‑ins. Room quality is solid overall, though sizes and outlooks vary, some spaces feel a bit dated, street noise can intrude in certain rooms, and multiple guests reported occasional bathroom drain odors. Facilities include a rooftop pool and a spa; the pool is small and can be crowded or cool, and the gym is compact. Breakfast and on‑site dining are widely praised, though a few guests found the food or prices underwhelming. Expect an upscale, very central Athens stay anchored by standout views.

Stayed for the Athens Marathon - really great 'early' breakfast put on for marathon runners, and a spectacular setting. Great location, and concierge was excellent. Thoroughly recommended. Only small comment would be the rooftop pool is super-cold, which in the summer would be ideal, but in November wasn't quite as inviting as it looked! But that's not a criticism, more for awareness for other off-season visitors!

Nice hotel, good location, nice view and breakfast. However, we were very disappointed that the pool was not warm at all. We chose this hotel specifically because we planned to relax in a warm pool and jacuzzi at the end of each day but we could not enjoy it at all because it was cold..

I’m not giving this property 5 stars because it was not very luxurious. That said it was a solid, nice hotel that is in a good location. I would go back there. Pros- Roof has a great view of the acropolis Bookings seem to all include breakfast Indoor and outdoor pool Spa services- massage was very good there Rooms were clean, prompt housekeeping Firm mattresses Very central location great for walking Quiet Robes and slippers in room Guest relations female manager was super nice Rooms have bathtubs Cons- Beds could have use a better / heavier duvet Outdoor roof pool needs to have some tiles cleaned well on the sides Breakfast foods were not great, nothing super tasty or well prepared Rooftop cocktails very expensive compared to other bars in area Indoor pool and jacuzzi were cold Steam room out of service I booked a room thru hotels.com that was pay at property- hotel would not honor that and charged my credit card full amount a week before (I called and proper wouldn’t adjust) Rooftop dinner menu boring, basic and super overpriced Food at hotel had little to no vegetarian options TV was not a smart TV and only English channels were two news ones Some of the furniture seemed old/dated But overpriced overall Overall solid 4 out of 5 stars

This location is in the middle of it all! Super-safe area. Walk to restaurants, shopping, attractions, everything. Staff was courteous, helpful and kind. Staff speak both Greek and English and likely other languages. The gym was really lovely, small but with a wide variety of free weights and cardio equipment. The outdoor pool, while a little crowded during the day, was cool and clean. My 10 year old son and I even reserved a couple of hours in the indoor pool (included with our stay and based upon availability) and had the pool all to ourselves. There is also a lovely sauna and steamroom for adults to use. The breakfast buffet was the best I experienced in Greece, and I have visited several times over the years. The bedding was extraordinary as well. Similar to the Westin' 'Heavenly Bed' if not better. Rooms are quiet despite the lively area the hotel is in. We could not have asked for a better hotel in Athens.

Hotel is lovely. Room smelled of drains but staff were very quick to switch me and no issues in the new room. I’d say rooms are a little tired and you’re paying for the view from the roof resturant/bar. I’d say worth the money for that though. Phenomenal view. Great breakfast buffet and had a very enjoyable dinner in there also. Overall a great hotel

We had housekeeping staff check in with us every night to ask if we needed anything, giving extra waters and a good night chocolate. Property is very clean and rooms were very quiet. They arranged transportation for us to the airport and our driver was one of the friendliest people we encountered. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Athens, the beautiful views add to the enjoyment.

Our room was not value for money. It faced onto a derelict building on the main street and very late at night we could hear the sounds of crowds of people despite our balcony door being screwed shut, so that we could not open it during the day. The room was dark and the furnishings a bit old. The bathroom wasn't as big as it looked on the website and the quality of the paper tissues was very bad. I'm sure that there were other rooms in the hotel that were very nice but ours (Room 303) wasn't and was not worthy of a 5 star hotel. On the plus side the towels in the bathroom were clean, thick and plush and our evening meal in the rooftop restaurant was excellent (the breakfast there was just ok). Most of the staff were also excellent and there are great views from the rooftop.

The breakfast room was rammed and when we decided to sit on the balcony for some fresh air and good views, the other tables were all smoking - come on guys, make your hotel completely smoke-free, it is 2025!

When we booked, we were not really sure. We actually had some difficulty communicating with them through Expedia but once we got there, their service was phenomenal. Their host ELutheria and Alex were awesome and accommodating on first night for dinner when we did not have reservations, and despite the fact that we didn’t have a reservation, their service was beyond excellent.. I reciprocated in kind for their service.. their breakfast was excellent and proximity to everything was awesome.. overall great experience.. there were other servers and managers who I don’t know the name of but they also carried the service out well. Overall if Elutheria did not accommodate us for dinner we may have shortened our stay..

We stayed 3 nights. The location is great in the middle of city center. The bellmen service is top notch,. When we arrived they greated us at our taxi, delivered our bags and one staff member in particular, I think Vagelis, was extremely helpful when we need to store our bags and got us a taxi to leave. Room was nice, housekeeping was excellent. The breakfast was very good as well. I'm leaving a 4 star because the pool was a major reason we booked but the pool is extremely small and there's no staff to keep order. Parents were letting their kids splash and throwing pool toys making it unpleasant for adults. The pool is too small to accommodate that. Side note the restaurant is way over priced, you are paying for the views but there are much better views elsewhere in the city.
