Lock in a great price for Hermes Hotel – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Nice location, nice room and very very friendly staff!!

Cristina, Spain

We loved the location of this hotel, and the bed of the Superior rooms. BUT beyond that, there is not a lot of good things to say about this place. We mistakenly booked for the first night economy rooms, which were hosrrible! Lumpy mattress, noisy corridors, paper thin walls and worse of all, mildew smelling rooms with black on the tiles. The second night we spent in Superior rooms, which cost more but were not really any bigger, not clear what exactly was superior. The only improvement was the mattress in these rooms, which was very comfortable. The location was nice, close to shopping and walking distance to the Acropolis, but no view of it from the rooms.

Marci, Israel

Comfortable bed, very clean room and nice bathroom.

Nemanja, Switzerland

Excellent hotel friendly stuff good breakfast buffet with a variety of selection , great location close to everything restaurants center and more ,very clean rooms quite comfortable bed .The only draw back was my checking in, I arrived early in the morning and the hotel could not accommodate my request to check in early as the hotel was fully booked and it was beyond their control. That is something to be aware of during high season in Athens . Will definitely be back .

Sahar, Egypt

Good breakfast, rooftop views, Close to all locations

Niko7k, Australia

The boutique 3 star hotel is in an excellent location in Plaka, only a few minutes from the Acropolis, Monasteraki, Syntagma, Monastiraki square, Ancient Agora, museums, shopping area of Plaka and Ermou Street. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good. We will definitely stay there when next in Athens. Great value for money. Their sister hotel, the Hotel Plaka, is great for a sunset drink on the rooftop bar with great view of the Acropolis. An Added bonus there is a Laundry (National Drycleaners) right next door. They charge by the kg.

Jtreadi, Hong Kong

Staff was so helpful and friendly, rooms were clean and AC was very cool. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. Shower was great

Kym, United States of America

The staff was very friendly, helpful and professional. The breakfast was excellent: delicious fresh tomatoes, fresh Greek pastries and other Greek delicacies. The hotel, while not exactly in the Plaka, was on an interesting street with shops selling fascinating Greek Orthodox accoutrements. Air conditioner worked well.

Ron, United States of America

Great location, helpful and friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Definitely recommend rooftop drinks at the sister hotel looking at the Acropolis.

Nicholette, Australia

Pleasant and professional staff. There was a lovely breakfast. Parking was much simpler than I'd anticipated.

눉Clean bathrooms that do not smell, rooms are not worth 150 a night. Staff needs to know the restaurants in the area, the first night the Receptionist just told us there are a lot of restaurants around and we could not go wrong by just picking one. Well, that was not the case and dinner our first night was disappointing.

눉The room was very small and drab. I don't fault them for a small room since this is what was (somewhat) shown on website, but at least the walls could have had a picture or two of their beautiful country. The couch in lobby was somewhat threadbare and the lobby was also drab and did not feel very inviting. $150/night was way more than hotel worth.
눇The staff was very friendly, helpful and professional. The breakfast was excellent: delicious fresh tomatoes, fresh Greek pastries and other Greek delicacies.
