I stayed at this hotel for one night with my boyfriend at the end of our vacation before flying home early the next morning. The hotel has a great location in the center of the city. Many rooms offer great views of the square and the sea. I found the rooms nice, but small. Same goes for the spa and steam rooms on the lower level and the rooftop pool (forget about swimming any laps). Both are significantly smaller than they appear to be in photos on the hotel website. However, the rooftop has a lovely view and is great for brunch, dinner, or cocktails in the evening. The service was disappointing for a "luxury" hotel. Although we were assured the night before that someone would be available to deliver our car from the garage the next morning in time for us to leave to catch an early morning flight, this was not the case. Also, was I surprised to learn no spa services were available on Saturday in the late afternoon, nor could the attendant recommend other places to go in the area. If I go back to Thessaloniki I would probably try out another hotel of the same category before I would book this one again.

The hotel is right at the heart of the city. At walking distance to waterfront and shopping areas and has a beutiful view of the sea. However the rooms are too small and like many hotels there they don't have a parking. If you go by car , you have to pay for the parking ( like 20 Euro ) at a walking distance of 5-10 minutes. But anyway , I liked the location , very central.

Stayed here on business (with family at times) for nearly 50 days during 2007. I have now shifted my stays elsewhere. Staff is generally rude although there are a few execptions. Service is acceptable most of the time. It does have an excellent breatfast buffet upstairs with a great view of the waterfront. The pool is nice as well and you will get a great cup of coffee in a town that knows coffee. However, if you are going to pay their prices for an only decently sized room with poor service and rude staff, you had better need to be located on the square. The location is an advantage, but if you look around, there are other hotels that I consider a better choice.

L'hotel si trova sulla splendida piazza centrale, e' bello e di ottimo livello. Abbiamo prenotato due camere superior al quinto piano, la nostra aveva un magnifico terrazzo ad angolo con vista impareggiabile. Le camere sono ben arredate, eleganti e di classe, i bagni in marmo. La terrazza ristorante è magnifica, sia per la colazione che per un aperitivo al tramonto. L'unico neo dell'albergo si è rivelato il personale alla reception, per nulla collaborativo nell'assisterci, avendo noi smarrito grazie alla nostra compagnia aerea nazionale ben tre bagagli dei quattro che avevamo. L'atteggiamento era di totale disinteresse, se non di fastidio alle nostre richieste di assistenza. Un hotel certamente da consigliare per l'ottima posizione e la qualità.

We stayed at the Electra Palace for 4 nights at the beginning of May 2007. The best thing about the hotel is location. It is right at the center of the city, at Aristotelous Square, with spectacular views to the sea from the breakfast room at the top floor. The hotel is very convenient for sightseeing on foot (within walking distance from the White Tower, the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Byzantine Culture, the Roman forum, the Church of St. Demetrius) or for using public transport (bus stop just outside the hotel). It also well placed for shopping and for enjoying the restaurants and cafeterias at the square, by the seafront or the Ladadika area. Service at the hotel was fine. Our room was clean (somewhat small, but it was not a superior room), a maid knocked on our door each evening to ask if there was anything that we needed, there was great variety at breakfast and the receptionists were friendly and helpful. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone who values location and good service.
