Netsanet Ethiopia

The location is nice. You can walk to Acropolis, Plaka, and many areas. The rooms were fine - spacious. Having the rooftop was nice.

Vandy United States of America

Excellent location, within a walking distance to the Metro as well as the Acropolis and other major attractions. Breakfast was perfect and the staff was friendly. I would come back to this hotel.

Reem United States of America

The location was absolutely ideal! Walking distance to Ermou, Plaaka, the Parthenon. We also enjoyed the daily breakfast. There wasn’t a ton of variety, but it was fresh and plentiful.

Maria United States of America

Excellent location - an easy walk from Syntagma square's bus or metro locations, and an easy walk to all of the main attractions in the area. Room is small compared to other places we stayed in Greece but what it lacks in space the hotel makes up for in location. Free breakfast is excellent, and I appreciated that 90% of the breakfast (everything but the heated foods) was available before the official b'fast hours for those with early departures. I really liked the tea/biscuits/water in the lobby, and even the lobby itself (after a day's outing in the heat, lobby is a nice place to sit and cool down with some cold water before heading up to one's room). Staff very friendly. Even though the Plaka hotel's rooftop has a better view, the Hermes rooftop does have a view of the Acropolis, with tables/chairs, and no crowds so be sure to check it out - you have have it all to yourself as we did.
